Wow. For us there has never been any incentive to play well. Or to make good grades. Both are his priority. I take no credit - it is the competitive spirit that he was born with. I realize we are lucky, but you should see his room!
I will admit that there is a monetary incentive to hit well against a certain local pitcher who badmouthed him last year. "He's going to have a hard time at this level."
$100 per base. First $400 goes into his college fund, the rest he gets to keep. Paying it will be my pleasure.
Something tells me I know the pitcher.
for us, we just say good job and when equipment gets worn out, it gets replaced w/o much dickering.
