Too many parents say "This is your box junior, stick with it until it fits you", and then we wonder why this generation can't think for itself...they have been told what to do and how to do it from birth, no deviation.
9u kid hits bottom of the order, well that just won't do he HAS to be the best, we will get him hitting lessons once a week to improve that. He's still not hitting in the top of the order, we should move teams it's obviously the coach is playing his favorites, increase lessons, because Mary Sue's son hits higher in the order than my boy and I will never hear the end of it at the weekend BBQ. 10u, kid now has hitting and pitching lessons, he rarely gets to do either in a game, parents buy more lessons....this can go on for YEARS!
Meanwhile, every chance junior gets he is outside playing soccer with his friends, he loves soccer, he doesn't even like baseball, that little fact doesn't seem relevant to his parents though. How about the parents switch up sports/activities until one peaks the kids interest or he is NATURALLY talented at rather than he needs 100 lessons to be average? Baseball, football, soccer, basketball, ballet, shotput, running, jumping, drill team, marching band, martial arts, piano lessons....the kid will eventually really like something or he will turn 18 and be out of the house with a decent base in a wide range of sports...where is the down side?
