what I've learned:
1) In almost all cases, the HS baseball coach knows more about baseball players and their potential than the parents.
2) As a parent, you need to let go and allow your child to handle issues and develop on their own.
3)Encourage your kid to work hard in school, on the practice field and in games and everything will take care of itself.
4) Be there emotionally for your kid, but do not make excuses for them.
Well stated. With my oldest watched a few of his teamates parents put their mouths & actions in the way of their sons play. At home games, many times, just found it easiast to sit down the rf foul line with my shades on & Ipod on. Now that my youngest is in school ball, we seem to have a much more reserved group of parents.
