Coach Sampson With your energy, passion and desire for your kids to succeed I really wish my son could have a HS coach like you. His attitude is the total opposite of yours, everything is the kids fault never his. Yesterday he puts a freshman pinch hitter in for my son with the tying run at 3b because he said he didn't like my sons approach the AB before. He had hit a long fly out to the warning track with two outs and a runner at 1B. The freshman looks at 3 pitches go by and walks back to the dugout. Who knows if my kid would have done better but it seems as a senior that has played every game for the past two years he's earned the right to try.
Keep up the hard work and the kids will either buy in or you will weed them out and you will be left with kids that want to work hard. The lack of hustle on my sons team drives me nuts.
