Reply to "Adjustment, slump, struggle and recovery"

Baseball is a team sport with its success determined by individual accomplishments. A few years back my son was complaining that his coach at the time knew little about baseball. After watching a few of his practices I would have to agree with him. Did I, no. Bill Parcells use to say (never give a player an excuse to fail) If I had said to my son your right the coach is terrible, I would have given him a reason to play poorly.

What I did tell him is to control what you can control. The coach doesn’t hit, doesn’t pitch, and doesn’t field. His team that year did do badly but my son had a pretty good year, the following year moved to another team and I think he learned a valuable lesson.
