Looking for advice. My son is 14 playing 15U (small in stature but going into 10th grade). He is used to be being one of the better players and now feels like he's failing in every aspect of the game. He only pitches mid 70s so he's getting shelled, he can't hit the 80+ mph fastballs he's seeing, and now he's made a few fielding errors as well. He's talking about quitting forever. No friends on this team, no fun on the field, maximum frustration at just sucking. Honestly, it's not just him - the whole team is in the same situation but the parents have zero say over the tournaments they are in (he plays for a large organization) so this will be the entire summer. They've been run ruled every game so far. My husband will make him finish out this season but he's been playing for about 10 years and used to love it. I feel like this is a sucky way to end. What would you say to him?
