for the teams sake
Yep,..thats the priority, now.
quote:
I want him to catch.
Yep, I can understand that you probably do, BUT again, unless you are the coach, in my opinion, son needs to go where the team needs him most.
My son was a catcher also, all the way up til' highschool.
( I too wanted him to be a catcher. I thought he was pretty darn tootin' good, had potential, and not to mention the gear we had invested in cost us an arm and a leg!-ha! )
HS coaches made him a SS his freshman year.
That's the way the cookie crumbled.
It took some time, but I soon realized that I had ALOT to learn.
First point being, I needed to stand back and let the coach,..... coach.
To this day, I STILL think he'd make a great catcher,
...although the college recruiters think otherwise and are looking at him as a MI.
Shows how much I know.
No complaints. No regrets. Wouldn't change it for the world.
Sometimes ya just gotta get some milk to go with those crumbs, sit back, and let the games roll.
It's about the team and the needs of the team, now.
Ya might be pleasantly suprised how things work out!
The very best to your son,...your family, and his team!
...and welcome to the HSBBW!!
