excuse all these questions but i find the responses to mine and others' threads as reliable and to the point as any i can find.
my question again is about a 9yo pitcher.
like most kids, he would throw and play until his arm falls off.
my question is: are there different responses a coach/parent should take to different types of pain? i kind of assume the answer is yes so: what types of pain are a red flag which you should have the player sit out and what types of pain are sort of normal when using a muscle often.
the soreness he feels today is on his throwing arm: to be specific i think it is called the deltoid muscle. where the shuolder makes its right angle toward the ground. if you were to put your left hand on the upper, outside of your right arm- that muscle.
it goes away once he starts to play.
i wonder if you rest a kid for any soreness? or is some soreness going to happen when playing ball? i know i always hurt when i play ball.
just wondering if anyone has opinion abt pitcher rest or over-the-top concerns.
