Parents For what it’s worth… • .98% of all High School Baseball players nationwide will receive some form of Division I scholarship. Those signing a pro contract have a 5000-1 chance of becoming a 5 year major league player • From Coaching Principles 101: "Parents are naturally more interested in their child than the overall team" - I challenge Parents to prove that principle wrong… • As Parents, we tend to want to take all the pain, heartache, and sadness out of our children's lives. Remember, these are the things that help him become a better person. • Studies show that by far what kids most want to hear from the parents: "I love to watch you play." That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less.
