This is one of my favorite weeks as it relates to this topic...
We are in winter conditioning (with some baseball activity) with the HS team. Most of our former players who are still playing in college will come home for the break and show up at the field. It's always great to see them and they will often jump in and help the current HS group. I've been there long enough to remember when they were the HS newbies with big eyes watching the college group at the time show up... and the generation before them... and..
My youngest son arrived over the weekend (now an assistant coach at his college). He showed up yesterday at the practice but too late to be introduced to the players so he sorta hovered in the background where I was working the batting tee/cage area. He would send me an occasional hand gesture about something I was missing or needed to address with a hitter.
... ok, well, besides getting old, one of my favorite weeks.
