bob oleary commented on Bill Stanton's blog post What Makes A Nightmare Sports Parent -- And What Makes A Great One""Get involved". I see to many parents drop kids off. Then 2 or 3 hours later pick them up.
Not good, when your dropping a 10 year old off at a little league field to fend for himself. Although parents think coaches are baby sitters to.

That is an awesome story, sorry for your loss. Meeting Jackie Robinson must have been unbelievable.

John Li said… thanks for the comment. Yes, his strengths are probably defensive catching and game mgt. he is just now developing more pop strength, at 13 he was 2.6 seconds with a 71mph throw. So he needs to work on footwork and transfer to get the time down, but then again, that was his very first official formal timing and a high school camp. He hopes to get it down to less than 2.3 and close to 2.2 by the time he starts his freshman year. he figures that will help him be at 2.0 or below by his senior year.

- Hi Bob,
Many of the kids here in Colorado Springs start Little League at around 7 years old. At least that is when I signed my boy up.
Thanks,
