Reply to "Teaching your son to control his emotions in a ball game."

You said he compliments teammates so that is good. The best thing you can do for your son is to get him on a team with kids who want to be there and love the game as much as him. I agree that many travel teams are glorified rec teams-parents/dads leave to make their own team because their son is not getting the playing time they feel he deserves.How often is the team he is on making 5-6 erros when he is pitching? Do you see them getting better over time, or do you feel that this team is spinning their wheels so to speak? Look around and see what is out there better. Many of his teammates will end up quitting in the future if they do not have a love for the game and do not work to get better. Do what is best for your son. At least then you will have no regrets in a few yrs and wish you would have moved. I'm speaking from experience. Nothing more frustrating to a player to have teammates who give little effort and don't care about getting better. Good luck to you.
