My youngest son is a 3 sport athlete. He is a 6'3"/210 lb. sophomore who has already been looked at by a number of people in baseball. He is a RHP pitcher that plays the corners on his Varsity team and plays for one of the top select teams in the country. He plays basketball and we have been told he will most likely play Varsity as well. He also plays football as thier tight end and kicker.
So here we are sitting across from our beautiful son Sunday evening and we are being informed that he thinks his future is as a Football kicker. Father has mild heart attack and mom just pats his hand. Now don't get me wrong we want our son to be sucessful in school (he has been on honor roll all of last year) and all that but now we are in new territory. Our boys have always played baseball at a high level and the oldest jsut started college on a baseball scholarship. We know what to expect n the baseball world. Anyhow when husband was able to talk again he asked our son why he felt that way and he informed us of this" I can kick the ball farther than anyone the coaches have ever seen, I'm accurate and the colleges have 69 football scholarships and less than 12 baseball scholarships. One way or another I am going to college on an athletic scholarship"
Interesting as I looked at this young man I realized he is thinking ahead.....I wonder what happened to my son that won't pick up his underwear off the bathroom floor. Now I have to figure out how to get him a couple of lessons for football in between baseball games this summer.
