24. Parents For what it’s worth…
.98% of all High School Baseball players nationwide will receive some form of Division I scholarship. Those signing a pro contract have a chance of becoming a 5 year major league player
From Coaching Principles 101: "Parents are naturally more interested in their child than the overall team" - I challenge Parents to prove that principle wrong…
As Parents, we tend to want to take all the pain, heartache, and sadness out of our children's lives. Remember, these are the things that help him become a better person.
Studies show that by far what kids most want to hear from the parents: "I love to watch you play." That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less.
