I'm not sure I can even physically do that

I am not asking in a negative way but how are you getting the coach's philosophies at such a detailed level? Is son sharing or are you hearing directly from the coach?

BTW, sounds like you and he are taking the best steps that you can.

From my son. I have no reason to doubt what he is telling me as I have heard the same from other dads and players. Thanks Cabbage, I know you are HS coach and I value your input. This will be a teaching moment for my son on how to deal with adversity. I have no intentions of getting involved except to offer my son advice and suggestions. I have no doubt he will work through this, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks
