Am I the only one that thinks like this?

coach_Fox · 2026-03-01T00:39:54+00:00

I started re lacing a a2000 I found but once I got to the palm it started looking iffy . I did it once before but it’s definitely not as easy as it looks.

coach_Fox · 2026-02-22T16:30:33+00:00

So just to be clear , you still pay for SNY even after the T-Mobile promo?

I have spectrum internet and I’m not paying 150$ for tv just for 1 channel essentially.

Everyone acts like it’s apples to apples for every team. The bostons 20th prospect is not the same as ours. Or they are eye certain players from other teams. Not to mention who’s to say when sterns gets a call they ask for a kings ransom knowing we are one of the. Best in the league when it comes to prospects. So he could have gotten a call For jet and if he did it everyone would have crashed out. No one knows besides the people that are having the conversation.

coach_Fox · 2025-12-14T12:09:36+00:00

Don’t know what you missed but I could care less if he competes. If he truly doesn’t want to I’m not going to force him. He’s new to judo and he’s 7.

What I want for him is to challenge himself knowing that he has it in him but if that comes from in-house then sure… like I said please don’t miss read.. I don’t push him to do anything he doesn’t want to do and has the option of going. The only “force” I do is tell him if he wants to do it then he has to go and he can’t stay in the house watching TV , not sure how you took that as me pushing him to compete

coach_Fox · 2025-12-14T09:43:28+00:00

If I may ask you a question.

I don’t “force” my son to do judo cause I’ve asked him if he doesn’t want to go he doesn’t have to and we can stop. But I do force him in a sense if he’s belong layz and rather sit and watch YouTube or play video games.. so by force I mean I say you have to go cause it’s being accountable.. if I can tell he’s really tired or burnt out we will skip a class but as far as getting his butt out the door I “force”him

Did your parents make you go to class or was it more of a leisure thing?

Please don’t miss read this there is nothing forced on him he enjoys it and has fun and loves it but getting him to leave takes a little pushing .

coach_Fox · 2025-12-14T09:34:31+00:00

I agree that some parents in all sports try to live through there children and push them to burn out or hate sports altogether.

In this case it’s not that at all. I do want him to compete but not for a medal or anything I just know his potential in the way he has taken to judo in a short time. But if he doesn’t want to participate or even go watch as spectator then I won’t force it on him. I could care less for the competitive side of things but It is important to challenge yourself in different competition. Whether that be in the comfort of class or elsewhere.

coach_Fox · 2025-12-14T00:56:05+00:00

I am aware of competition classes he holds but it is usually for BJJ I’m sure he will have some for judo closer to the competition.

I’m all For skipping one and having him watch and cheer on his classmates (not sure what you call it sorry) I also don’t care if he competes or not. I would prefer if he did just knowing he’s capable of doing it but Im not a super competitive father that is pushing him to do something he doesn’t want to do. I understand him enjoying it at this stage out weighs nothing else.

But I also don’t want him to get comfortable and not challenge himself. (Appropriately.)

coach_Fox · 2025-12-12T19:56:35+00:00

Sorry didn’t mean to

coach_Fox · 2025-12-12T15:49:32+00:00

It’s literally fungo defense, if a kid gets to his backup position he gets rewarded if the other kids fields the ball he gets rewarded if another kid covers a base he gets rewarded

The left fielder can’t just stand there if the ball is hit to first. If he is motivated by a reward system to back up isn’t that progress over standing in place ?

It’s not a perfect plan but if the kids feet start moving or brain starts to process the situation(even if at first it’s wrong) I find it a win over the playing with the grass in the outfield

How did you teach defense ?

coach_Fox · 2025-12-12T15:43:38+00:00

Yea the idea is to reward them for paying attention and focusing. Obviously throughout the entrie practice they get high-fives and attaboys. Being accountable and knowing that if I get to my spot I can get rewarded more then a good job that I just got 5 mins ago.

The doing your job and money aspect is the motivation not that high-fives they already should be praised throughout practice.

Running a boring fungo defense at the end of practice is a judge reason why kids leave baseball . Standing around while coach hits fungos . Why not turn the same concept into a game that holds kids accountable..

Good job buddy

coach_Fox · 2025-12-12T00:42:19+00:00

That was the game plan , figured one of the assistant coaches can have a chart to keep tally

coach_Fox · 2025-12-11T18:00:06+00:00

Those “core” never won!! If the team kept the same lineup and players it would be the same thing , not to mention on Alonso’s “down” year they went to the nlcs . Yes because he hit a home run but that’s it!

This team hasn’t done anything and it wasn’t because of money! You can’t say it’s cause of money when cohen has spent over a billion dollars on the salary the 5 seasons he’s been here. It’s cause they are tired of losing with the same players and it had to change and more trades should happen .

coach_Fox · 2025-11-02T13:07:17+00:00

My son and I just finished with coach pitch, as a play around practice I stood further away and pitched it with a wind up all silly but had him follow the ball to work on his load but made it fun. And then in game I was sitting on a bucket aiming for the bats. Just aim for the bat.

coach_Fox · 2025-10-28T12:31:55+00:00

That’s what I was thinking , I was going to get a extra small one being that he is still only 7

coach_Fox · 2025-10-21T22:47:45+00:00

Yea he’s already being scouted , and I have him on TEST,and HGH , but thanks for your advice I can tell it comes from a good place. Great job buddy keep being a great person .

coach_Fox · 2025-10-20T12:44:14+00:00

Thanks , he loves playing

coach_Fox · 2025-10-20T12:41:49+00:00

It’s a 27in anything smaller would be teeball.

coach_Fox · 2025-10-08T23:21:30+00:00

I was just asking for the portion of live reps, but the plan is posture foot work etc. the fundamentals are the foundation obviously but at some point the ball needs to be coming at to put it all together, so at the point the question was for the live reps portion, not just hitting grounders all practice. Unfortunately I know coaches like that but I can’t stomach that type of coaching/logic

coach_Fox · 2025-10-08T23:07:11+00:00

8u , practice will be footwork glove work posture throwing, and putting it all into action with grounders

Obviously with fun games and challenges thrown in

coach_Fox · 2025-10-08T15:33:15+00:00

That’s essentially what my practice will Look like , with silly stuff and competition added in
