I am a believer of the same approach. As coaches we owe it to the kids to make them aware of their strengths and weaknesses. More importantly, we need to ensure they know how, and in some cases where, they work on those.

If not done, some kids feel they failed, in some cases create or transfer blame, but never learn to deal with failure. How many of these kids grow up to be the adult who never admits to mistakes at work?

I want kids to UNDERSTAND. Never understanding and they can not, or probably will never fix anything.

Even if I cut a kid, I want them to try out again next year. I want a kid to play baseball not give it up. One thing I am proudest of, I cut a kid two times, and he is now playing college baseball at Catholic University.
