The most important lesson learned from HSBBW

coachbwww

You know I competed with my guys all the time but it was fun competition--- But respectfully, i think you have a grave problem

coach,
Didn't you say your son is 11 right?

you said he is ready for the show in your profile, what show?

You compete against him? You own him?

I am off this topic too.

I am sure that you are yanking chains.

quote:

RJM: Considering all those video games I played with my son, and all those homeworks I helped him get done, I don't think my son never feared of me for one day in his life. I am his best buddy and also his furious competitor. I can use all the bad words toward him after a bad game. He won't argue with me as long as I am right. For example, if I have pointed out to him the ref will call the mid-outside corner for strike , and he got a KO by a called 3rd strike for that perticular pitch. I would yell at him right away, "Stupid, what the **** are you thinking?" He would say "I am sorry, that's my fault". No hard feeling, we are here to win, he knows I am with him all the way.

You're a furious competitor with a little kid? Is it challenging? I figure you're either pulling the board's leg or you need to seek help. Have a nice day!

coachbwww has to be pulling the board's leg. I would really hate to think that a rational adult would treat his own flesh and blood this way.

If he's not, then that's child abuse. Plain and simple.

We had a kid in town whose dad "thought" along these same lines. Unfortunately, the boy traded baseball for drugs when he got to HS.

He is 14, 4 more years under my control I guess. I believe maximum pressure creates super character. He either win or lose when he comes to the "show"(HS ball at this point), there's no other way around. If there's fear, I think his only fear would be let me down, in another word he disappointed me. That's one of his best motivation to work hard and to be successful. Have a nice Easter holiday!

coachbwww,

please dont pm me again. I do not like your words.

because of a pm I received from someone on this post no names mentioned I have removed my posts. I under no circumstance want another pm from this person ever.

fanofgame,
I urge you to contact a moderator or MN-Mom ( owner of this site ) with your concerns.

fanofgame,
You can block that person from sending you any more pm's.

However, I am sure you most likely won't have to worry about it much longer.

I sent you a pm.

I need to find out how to do that. Can you TPM send me a private pm and tell me how to block someones pms. id appreciate it. thanks

I feel very sad. Sad for a family that I don't even know. But I know of it now. And I am very sad. And I wonder how many other families like this are out there. And that makes me even more sad.

I think I will cheer myself up by thanking God that mine isn't like this....

fanofgame, there is an ignore list you can envoke.
Please check your pm's,..( even though I know you may be a bit leary)

Click on the persons name and take option, ignore this poster.

Whether true or not, this is pathetic. The sad thing is there are kids trying to play sports under these circumstances.

Dr. Joel Fish is the head of The Center For Sports Psychiatry. He consults to professional teams, Team USA's and Olympic teams. He said CSP's biggest client base is messed up mid teen kids who feel they let down their parents and kids who just want to quit playing due to parental pressure but don't dare tell their parents. All these kids are brought to his organization by parents who think their kid has only lost his/her focus.

Really sad where this thread has gone - some really great content on the first page and then straight down hill...

The most important lesson learned from HSBBW

I have learned that this site has a vast amount of information for parents and players, and a significant amount of the information is NOT on the message board. If some of our parents and players would focus on the INFORMATION provided on the site instead of the OPINIONS sited on the message board, they will probably find themselves well informed and more ready to attack the process ahead of them.

I have also learned that it is better to read the information, to try to absorb it, and to ask questions directly related to the information provided without asking for advice that is too specific to be useful to the average reader.

I have also learned that there are lots and lots of people out there who think they know the game but don't, and who think they have all the answers for every player/parent/family but defintely don't. There are a lot of wonderful people out there with whom I have something in common ... the game I love ... and that bond means that that we needn't always agree on things to become and to remain friends. And that, I indeed learned from this site.

I have also learned that there are some people on this site that I can't live with and I can't live without.
