Coming off of hearing a middle school coach tell a bunch of 6th and 7th grade players that they “played like crap” and that “if they aren’t mad at themselves they should just walk away from the game”, I just want to every single young player out there to know that they shouldn’t let poor coaches have that power over them!
No coach should ever encourage a young player to walk away from the game. Ever. Here’s an idea, try actually coaching them!! Help them improve. Encourage and support them to grow, and develop, and blossom.
So, here’s the the latest bloomers like Ben Zobrist that stuck it out and kept playing one more game of baseball! ⚾️❤️
