@bigtom13 what a great post and how well written is. I'm glad it was you when I saw who wrote this.
Sports are very big part of the kids life that teaches them a lot about the world and life that is in front of them. We cannot neglect that and go on like it doesn't exist. We need to use that in a better way so we can help each other.
As you may know, I practice Am. Football and I learned a lot from it, even though I am 30. It teaches me to handle my ego and move it on the side, or kill it preferably. If you remove Ego from the equation, the life gets better immediately, it is easier and many more things are done that way then. My cousin plays baseball in my town and I'm going to a game this week. Can't wait for it, because I wasn't on baseball game for about 7 8 years. It will be interesting to watch the mental side of it, I'm so curious..
Thanks Tom for sharing your thoughts with us. Have a great day all!
Baseball is such a curious mixture of individual performance and team chemistry. Just about the time I think I have it all figured out I find something new. The mental preparation is prodigious and can make or break a team.
It's all about giving it up for the team, which is so important in life.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I really do appreciate it!
Exactly, it is all about giving yourself for a team. Later you realize you never gave yourself, you just shared yourself, so you didn't lose anything and you gained a lot...
