@RJM posted:My father was a big time, high school three sport, star athlete. He went on to play football at a Big Ten. When he got injured he transferred and played baseball at a family legacy school (he was 6th generation) that is now a NESCAC.
He never gave me any advice. He never taught me anything. He told me if I have the passion to excel I would figure it out. My only memory of him working with me is when I was very little. He got on a knee, tossed me an underhand pitch and told me to keep my eye on the ball. I blasted a shot into his face. Practice over.
Good Dad advice and certainly could have been a worse outcome.
