My son also over came adversity in Soph. year.
He was trying out for the Varsity team and had a great tryout,but for whatever reason,he didn't make the cut...he was devestated!And I mean DEVESTATED!
As a parent you feel more pain,but he was so upset, I would "secretly" cry for him.I believe things happen for a reason.He played jv (and had a great year) and he vowed to come back stronger,faster,better the next year.I'd never seen him so driven,focused and determined.He was going to show them they had made a mistake.He worked all Spring,Summer and Fall.Working out with speed training,batting everyday,mental training,vision training and xtra 2hr. infield workouts on Sunday mornings along with travel team and homework!! I must say he came back stronger,faster,better.He had gained so much...it changed him ... for the better.
