My son has experienced exactly what your son is. He is now a Senior, first year on Varsity and being a great teammate for his team. My son has had a very difficult time keeping his head up among all the "Golden Boys".... but he has done it. Baseball is so much more than just the game. I believe my son will come out of this not-so-easy experience with great life skills. My son now has the mental make-up and confidence to succeed in any avenue. Please check out his story on www.showballbaseball.com and this is NOT a plug for the showcase but a great story of a boy who did come home, approached his parents with his frustration, walked away feeling supported and DID have his dreams come true.
P.S. My son is a power hitter, played first base and right field. He now watches these "Golden Boys" play and yes, still asks "Why?" but knows that he will play in College and all but one of these "Golden Boys" will not.
