@latsondheimer Thought: If you’re an 8/9 seed, wouldn’t it be better then to throw out your #3 pitcher for game 1, knowing the 2nd round loser’s bracket game or the potential knockout 3rd game will be the most critical for you to advance?
@SethDavisHoops Every time I ask my teams if they want me to expect higher standards, and if they want to be strong mentally, and if they’d prefer me to be honest about their performance, with few exceptions, they say yes. Set the tone early, and when they know you care, they will respond.
@SethDavisHoops Introducing healthy levels of “competitiveness” at the right age is always a challenge. Parents want their kids to develop faster and faster. The kids that get burned out are the ones that never learned to enjoy “competition”, because they were taught that only winning matters.
Change is possible, even if it takes time. When I was younger, Asian men couldn’t legally marry white women.
Now look at me. I married a white dude.
