Preseason jitters

Things are exciting. I don't know exactly when my son's opportunity will come being a freshman, but I think it will and hope he can take advantage of it. Calling down for daily updates on practice and it does sound like a full time job - he loves it though. This is what it is all about though, playing at the next level, whatever the next level happens to be

I got the pretryout jitters BIG time. Gotta make that highschool team.

Glad to hear things are going well at the coast..congrats on your mooseketeer nomination...well deserved..

I'm going to the OU baseball preseason banquet this coming Friday and I've already got the "jitters" because I realize that this is the signal that the 2006 season is about to begin. I have been anxiously awaiting the start of this season but at the same time I am nervous. My son is coming off a medical redshirt year and I just want him to have an injury-free season and to play to his potential.

I guess as long as our sons play the game, we parents will probably feel the "jitters" much more than our sons.

Good Luck to all the boys (and their parents)who are fortunate enough to experience preseason jitters. It's all good!

That adrenalin rush is a good thing as long as you don't let it interfere with your perfprmance.
Our sons have practiced hard and played at a high level preparing them selves for this comming season. I call my son once or twice a week and he seemd very ahxious to get the season under way. As a freshman he has to do the best he can with every oportunity he gets.
His team just started scrimmages a few days ago so we don't bother him too much. The only way I can find anything out is talking with his buddies who chat with him on line. Thank god for computers.

Those jitters are why I still coach. When I dont get them anymore I will find someting else that gives them to me.

If the jitters fade out on the field please let me know...after teaching our two sons, I've got two daughters that will soon be asking me to teach them to drive!

God please help me! My youngest just started driving and I just cant ride with him. My wife takes that one on. Good luck to you , you will need it. My prayers are with you.

Coach May:

I guess not everyone's jitters are the same...give my best to your wife!

Sounds odd, but...hope you have many jitters on the field this year...and continuing jitters well into the future!
