Bryan never once did I single your kid out. Show me one post where I singled him out. Just making the general statement. If his heart's not it in and he's playing 3 other sports then yeah I 'd say he is fairly occupied. Not once did I say that he inparticular, was doing this in as a filler sport. Lot's of kids do that you know. I just think it's crap that you take a general statement and think that I put everything in those posts just directly to your kid. If his heart isn't in it, so be it, why keep staying miserable when you have other things that you like to do better. Right? Sounds to me like he made his own mind up and you can't knock a kid for that. I remember the day I stood up to my old man when I didn't want to play baseball anymore, wasn't an easy thing to do. I played with kids that didn't care in high school, heck some didn't come out until their senior year trying to get the starting position, that's where I get a lot of my beliefs from. They didn't give a hoot about the game or the team, they were just there for the jersey and to say they played it in high school. I really do wish your boy would've stuck it out, kinda suprised when RR mentioned he wasn't on the team anymore, he's a well rounded athlete and after getting the hang of things with a few more games, everything would've come more easy to him. It's a big transition from dominating middle school to being overshadowed in high school. The same can be said about me when I went to college or moved up from the middle school team. Every thing takes time, maybe next year he'll give it another shot, if not at least he can say he gave it a shot which is a lot more than other people can say. Who knows, you may have the next Freddy Adu on your hands. I've known you too long and you should know that I would never single out your kid in a public forum, as well as any other kid, just making a general statement.

At least he tried to do everything in his power to raise you right.:biggrin:
