I have found that the people that do not give a damn about getting better tell on themselves very quickly. When you talk to a guy and they have been around for 10 years and they do not work any HS ball that tells me all I need to know. Of course you can talk to them and I am not suggesting that you never talk to your partner. But I am saying I would be very careful to offer advice to people who just in their resume that they tell you make it clear they could give a damn. If the guy truly is a weekend warrior (does not work HS or any organized ball), then your little conversation is not going to change their mind overnight. You are still going to have to deal with how bad this person is and you will not make the one day experience much better.

Peace
