It's not the kids that screw up youth sports, it's parents with unrealistic or selfish expectations and motivations.

GomerJr wanted to play, anyway, but I was quick to support it because he is naturally a really shy kid. We have tried to get him involved in as many things as possible to "break" him of his shyness. Church and baseball have been the 2 biggest factors in helping with it. I won't push to play baseball, or any other sport if he doesn't want to. But as long as he wants to, I'll gladly support it. (but we ain't doing that travel ball crap).

There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft
