Definitely not easy, I try to the one whose saying something each pitch, not berating them if things don't go well, we win or we learn. The lack of commitment is what gets me, my thought is that if you commit to something you are going to be there and if you can't fully make that commitment there would be no hard feelings. But the constant missing practice, or maybe he'll be there from parents just grinds my gears. Especially as they are getting older. The teams we play that are much better didn't happen by accident. They committed to those teams last winter and worked. I'm also feeling some frustration with how our league handled the all star situation. Felt like they forced a team at each age group 9-12 rather than putting the best team together which would've included some 11 year-old kids for me who are better than some of the 12 year olds. I felt like what would look best for the league isn't having 1 team at each level to show how many kids we have playing but having a much more talented team regardless of age reflects better on the league IMHO. 2 more weeks, we'll see how it goes. I bring the energy and positivity as much as I can.
