I am a long-time HS teacher/coach so blessed to work with teenagers most days of the year. Despite having the greatest job in the world, I sometimes find myself falling into a funk after dealing with some of the obvious challenges that come with my job. I would venture to say that most parents probably have experienced some of these same challenges but with a much smaller sample size

I have favorited this link so that I can refer back to it when I find myself getting frustrated with students/players. Think it also a great read for those of us who are college baseball parents (note the age of full development in article). Hope some of you will find it useful as well.
Terrific read. Also, I'm assuming your tag quote is from the musician Juliana Hatfield and my 23-year old pre-marriage crush on her just deepened.
