Heybatter...Thanks for sharing...It has brought up some excellent postings...and in our case some thoughts are are central to our experience ...
We in sport must ask ourselves on a daily basis....
Is sport fostering an increasingly strong and bond between son and family?
Is sport improving our comunication process?
Are we using sport...of course the wins and the successes and achievements but more importantly the losses and the struggles...to teach life lessons? (putting down the glove is simply one more in a long series of life lessons...)
Will ours sons be better people, not just better ballplayers for having had this experience?
Are WE as parents better people because of this experience?
And finally....If it all ended tommrow at this level, would it have been worth every minute?
Based upon your posts that you can answer a resounding yes to all....All the best to your family!
.
It has always been about the journey not the result.
