Reply to "Need some feel good stories"

This board is full of posters whose son has

  • increased his level of competition,
  • faced new challenges that caused them to struggle,
  • made an adjustment to their game

and exited on the other side a better ball player. 

You said your son has moved up to more of an elite travel team. In other words, he improved his level of competition. If I had to guess,  I would bet that your son is now seeing better pitching.

Continuing my guess, I’ll go a step further and assume that due to your son’s size, he’s seeing more spin and / or more fastballs away with fewer mistakes over the middle of the plate. 

It may be time to work on identifying the adjustment  needed at the plate. 

Take him to a youth field. Grab a bucket of balls and play a game of home run derby. Just see ball...hit ball mentality. Have some fun with it. It may not fix the adjustment needed but it should be relaxing and fun. Since I didn’t provide a feel good story, let the home run derby be the beginning of your own feel good story. The story has to start somewhere
