My son has been working very hard during the winter with another teammate of his. They have been doing abs, legs, long toss and lots of batting. Today we had our first real double header and last week a rainy attempt at a game. Both players are now batting well over .500 and Zack has 3 HRs in 3 games. Both pitched and did well on the mound too. Looks like all the hard work in the "off-season" will pay off. Needless to say, I am proud of them both and think they may have learned quite a lesson about benefits of hard work.

I agree with the other posters. Players have to learn as they get older there are certain things they can control and certain things they cannot control. Many times the focus is put on those uncontrollable factions of their game and they tend to look for excuses and to point fingers ---- and in the process they fail to get better. I think this is a learned approach to the game and it almost always taught by the parents. I tip my hat to you because you have taught your son that hard word does pay off.
other team didn't show.
By the way, the 13u Bulldogs are in our pool and (assuming the weather holds) my son gets the start against them. He's played them a few times before so he's looking forward to it.
Morning Beez good to hear from you, is there a website for that tourney? I'll look forward to seeing you there. What time does your son take the hill?
Got the schedule- Thanks!
) I'm guessing we'll play early tomorrow and I'll probably see you then. Actually, you have a way of sneaking up on me so just make sure to say hi.
