Browsing through the cable channels and ran across one of the LL Regional championships.................
The pressure these kids are put through are bad enough............but at 12 years old should they be put through this type of pressure (television)??
I coached 1 Third place ASA team and 2 Fifth places (in Tx...........minimum of 60 teams).................in States.............the best I ever got in Nationals was 11th................
One thing was........we always had fun..........
Whenever I saw a parent going anal when their kid came to bat............I quoted Tony Peter's favorite rule.................."Baseball/softball" is a game.................
Losing sucks............and winning is better..................BUT...........kids should NOT be put up for ridicule on National Television...................
