Too Much Concern for No reason

TR - you speak the truth!!!

Guilty! Something I'm working on though.

Peace out

That's it TR!

I notice many parents/posters worrying about other parent/posters. LET THE DAD BE A DAD -- and stop worrying about things you cannot change.

Just enjoy their progress.

I see it this way:

I notice many players worrying about their parents ever increasing waistlines, bald spots, arthritis,etc---that is all well and good but many of these posters have parents that are not yet in retirement.

My advice to you ,for what it may be worth, is simple--let the parents play- in most cases,they have not yet reached the first stage of Social Security payments -LET THE Parents be Parents - as a player stop worrying about things you cannot control or change.

Just enjoy their regression

It does seem to happen around here from time to time.

Peace out

While I haven't been following as closely lately...methinks you miss the point of most of those types of posts. For parents (I am one of them) who have been through the HS->college->pro transition...we just realize all of that fretting we did when our sons were early in HS or even before HS was wasted energy.

Kind of funny how virtually 100% of those who have been there, done that...will tell you to keep it fun...and Dad?...don't be such a "Dad"...all of the time.

Stop and smell the roses that are in front of you right now...lest you might miss some mighty fun times and you may cause junior to miss 'em too.

I kind of think that was the point of TR in this thread too.

So, now you fret about other parents? Be fret-free.

Nope, just explaining the posts.

If you wanna end up on the trash heap of unhappy parents like most of the others who behave like 'dads-being-dads,' go right ahead. Been there, seen it, its ugly for both dad and junior in the end.

JB,

As I stated after TR posted, I was one of those guilty parents, needing to relax and enjoy.

I also said Swat was correct as well, that there are parents a touch concerned about others a little too much at times.

Didn't miss either point as far as I'm concerned.
If I did, shame on me.

Peace out

I know you did...sorry...was more responding to the other guy.

its,
I resemble that remark.

Just trying to enjoy my regression considering the alternative.

OK TR when's a good time to begin worrying?

So TR--are you saying then that if my 13u is hitting 81 on the gun and running a 7.4 60 I should not worry???

only if you're the one with the gun and stopwatch

I wasn't even there when he was being "timed". But do agree, seriously, with TR that even as mine has gotten older (from 9 to 13) I take it less seriously, step back, and enjoy it more as he progresses. No longer live and die with the result, as long as effort is there, and in reality less concerned with teh "measurables" than with his improvement and enjoyment. Also, the fact that he now has a coach who knows what he is doing (or at least appears to) has also helped

ok cball the answer is============== never begin to worry---you son doesn't

thanks
I was beginning to worry you wouldn't reply

I wasn't worrying but now I'm worrying that TR might not be correct so should I worry about that or worry that my son isn't developing as fast as he should.

I'm back to not worrying. TR is right.
