Yes Basebal1187,
I see the same thing here in our local leagues - Coaches always have their lackluster son's on their team in the more important positions. Better players setting on the bench while the coach (father) tries to motivate his son to a higher level of performance.
These sons, promoted beyond their ability, generally act very indifferent and unmotivated.
SUCH IS LIFE - THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T EARN ARE NOT IMPORTANT TO US. Surely there are exceptions; a father's love is not, and should not, be earned; but there are those kids that fail to see its importance until later in life, or until it is too late.
It is very frustrating to see your loved son setting on the bench while the coach's son lobs in beachball after beachball and the score difference gets wider and wider... or the coaches son/catcher lets every other pitch get passed him ... or refuses to bunt when father/coach tells him to sacrafice... or a million other stupidities. And the child is indignant or indifferent. The child's position on the team was unearned and the child's attitude is disrespectfully lazy. Yes, the undeserving child looks bad but the father/coach looks worse.
Some people have integrity and can correctly choose and coach talented players. Others refuse to recognize their own immaturity and think they can create desire in their son by giving undeserved opportunity. Again and again the desire never gets passed from the father to the son... all the while a deserving child with loads of desire sits the bench... frustrated... complaining that he doesn't get opportunity. The undeserving one who received the opportunity, often grows to be a flippant braggart. The deserving child who didn't receive opportunity often succumbs to the level of underacheiver and complainer - unwilling to put forth the effort because it wasn't recognized and rewarded, finding consolation among others that also feel they have been wronged. It's a tough cycle to break.
As somebody else has pointed out... this is life. I see this kind of childish crap going on all around me in all facets of business.
Basebal1187, you write and think very well for a 15 year old... and defend your thoughts very well... for a 15 year old. Perhaps around you, there will be an island integrity - we tend to create our own environment. I think you will grow to live in a wholesome one.
Best to you, Tony
