My sports weekend was worse…. I’m in New York City….. My son was playing on a brand new travel baseball team…. He had a complete meltdown committing three errors…… not hitting a single ball except a weak pop up…. Today he wouldn’t even swing the bat in two plate appearances… He fell down taken a ball and had his teammates yelling at him to swing. Is it ok if I miss all of his games? LOL I have to figure out how to help him with the mental sifr(definitely not my strong suit) He is one of the more talented kids on the team skill wise but he can’t be afraid to play.

Feel ya!

I would tell him that baseball is a game of failure. You have to put what happened in the past and live to play another day. If you can hit a lil better than 3-10 in the majors.....you're a hall of famer.

That's failing 70% of the time!

Stay strong! He'll be alright

it’s not failure that i am concerned with…. he had a complete mental breakdown…. wouldn’t swing on day 2 and even fell down at the plate…. It was mental instead of just making bad plays…. He is 13.

Been there! How early did he start the travel? Is he burning out?

Once it feels more like a job than fun is when ya really gotta take a step back and think about it.

I started at 7 as was burnt by 15 and quit. Always started so nothing to do with that.

Brother started at the same age and was good til he graduated. Different strokes
