If you are a teacher or administrator watching the forecast and thinking, “What can our students do tomorrow?”...let me answer that one for you. Nothing. Let them go play without worrying about school. “Virtual days” didn’t exist when we were kids and we turned out ok.

If you are wondering what is wrong with baseball at the upper levels and why players show up in high school spoiled/ don’t play for the love of the game....take a peek at what my 7 year old got today for a 2nd place finish. We are developing entitlement. 🤦🏼‍♂️ #USSSA

@SwagnShades I think there is a slight difference between training towards a D1 goal after puberty and playing 85 games in 9U, and you know that. The issue isn’t kids chasing a dream and working hard in high school. It’s parents and charlatans blurring that line into youth sports.

@CoachDavidKlein The issue isn’t Little League. It’s parents with $ who can’t understand that their kid isn’t good enough for travel, but do it anyway as a status symbol. You will never fix that. The solution to the problem is getting parents to think about youth sports differntly. Good luck.

@ShiffletPat @Coach_BenHarley Because he went 0-2 in pool play and that ring is for winning D bracket against 8 teams that are under .500. It’s not rewarding the kids and making them smile that’s the issue, it’s the watering down of a symbol that has carried significance for decades in athletics.
