Injury Advice

Why go to a doctor seek his advice if you're not going to help your son realize he is risking more then his baseball or basketball future if he doesn't allow his injury to heal properly.

Had this same situation once with my son, sprained his ankle severely was in a boot, but heard from fellow BB parents they saw my son playing basketball in his boot...and wondered why he was not playing BB and missing his pitching turns in the rotation.

Needless to say we took care of that in a hurry. He had injured his growth plates and it needed to heal properly. It doesn't surprise me that your son wants to play and feels like he either letting his teammates down, and or doesn't want to feel that he is acting like a girlyman. That's why Dad's are important to have in the home to make sure sons' don't overplay the macho thing to their own detriment.

BKTB can be a tough sport for injuries.
I would spell things out and then let him make up his mind.

Did the chance of injury never occur to you guys when he tried out for the Basketball team? He needs to meet his obligation and finish the season if he is able to play which he can. I would think there would be a resposibility to the team.
