Hey coach.

Fall Baseball Season has officially begun. This man, behind the chain link fence looking a little shady, is my son’s coach. He is quite the coach.
This guy coaches, I don’t know, about 15 teams a season. Okay, maybe a couple less. But a lot. Trust me. You’d think he’d be spread too thin between all his kids and all their teams.
But he’s the best coach my kid’s ever had. My kid, who started out shaking in his cleats every time he came to bat. And who now stands there boldly. I even saw my little guy show some other kid how to hold the bat yesterday. He’s grown. Big time. This coach has given him confidence and taught him what being on a team means.
Honestly, I don’t like baseball all that much. I would bring a book to games and practices if it wouldn’t make me look like a bad mother. (It would.)
But Reed loves to play. And he’s learning a lot more than how to hit and throw.
Oh, that’s great. A true, old-fashioned, character-building coach. Not many of them left nowadays.
I dread if one of my kids takes up baseball. I think it’s the most boring game on the planet. Yes, even more boring than soccer!
oh Wendy- i am officially a bad mother!!!!
I agree with you Junebee!
Gerberdaisy – No baseball for your boys?
oh no Wendy, they play ball. I just read all the time!!!
