Since my son has moved on from the game and is almost finished with college, I get lots of pleasure from watching the young men I coach and instruct.
1 young man that I have been working with for the past 3 years has just recently received news that he is one of the final 36 players to be invited to the Junior Olympic camp. The team will then be cut to 18 players. He is a 16U, a catcher, a fantastic player and an even better person. He was selected from the J O tournament in Jupiter a few weeks back.
I will post about him again if he makes the final cut in august. With his parents permission I will post his name.
I take no credit for this kids talent, work ethic or passion for the game, I only hope that I helped him understand the game a little more.
