@Leerunrun@simon_rosenblum@SGuisgond@Tom_Koehler34 not true. The travel coaches will also coach the rec team and play their 10 year old travel kids over their 12 year olds just to "get more work in" for the kids he cares about more
The biggest problem with youth sports is parents over rating their kids abilities.
This is what leads to kids jumping from team to team in travel and thinking they are above rec leagues.
Most mistake size and strength at a young age over skill.
Percentages make no sense for tipping.
I go to a restaurant and order a $20 steak. Guy at the table next to me orders a $100 steak.
If I tip $5 I’m considered a great tipper, but he’s expected to tip at least $20.
Why? The server literally did the same amount of work!
@Leerunrun@SGuisgond@Tom_Koehler34 It’s not coping. I know my kid wasn’t going to play after little league. The system for youth sports sucks now. That is all.
@SGuisgond@simon_rosenblum@Tom_Koehler34 Completely not true. lol. I’ve seen many kids who only play rec be much better ball players than travel kids. That’s called coping.
@Leerunrun@simon_rosenblum@Tom_Koehler34 You missed the point, sitting bench on LL team only because the rest of his team play travel ball and are better from all the playing/reps/training. He was not saying being worse than other kids who play rec only, rec only players cannot compete against travel ball players.
@simon_rosenblum@SGuisgond@Tom_Koehler34 At 10 you had to be good enough to make LL when I was growing up. It was a much better system. There would be a lower league for others. It’s important that kids realize the truth about their skill set. Not this current structure of pay to play.
@Leerunrun@SGuisgond@Tom_Koehler34 My point is you should not have to have “sufficient” to play little league at 10 years old. That should be for everyone.
@simon_rosenblum@SGuisgond@Tom_Koehler34 If your son is sitting the bench at LL no amount of travel ball will help him. You can find ways to keep your kid playing above average without travel ball as long as he has sufficient talent and athleticism. If not you are wasting time and money.
@SGuisgond@Tom_Koehler34 Agreed but it’s the worse than that. It’s not just not making high school rosters. You’re at the end of the bench on a rec Little League team if you haven’t done that.
@wjeffpetty Don’t forget indoor leagues in the winter. 🥶 Arms are ground beef by 13 yo. What some parents don’t understand is the physical/mental hurdle that happens when moving to the big fields has on a kid. It’s almost better to not pitch in LL and start later. The kid is better off.
If your 10-year-old is burnt out… it’s not the game. It’s the schedule. It’s perfectly ok to play in the spring & when summer hits go swimming, golfing, tennis. Go to the beach! Be a kid! If you want pick it back up in fall. March 1 to November 1 baseball at 10 is dumb!
When you go to Texas Roadhouse they bring you bread with their famous honey butter
There is no butter in the honey butter
“You're not gonna believe what's in here”
I also verified this, no dairy butter or cream appears on the ingredients list. This should be illegal
I predicted Joe Biden would drop out and I'm predicting Trump is stepping down before his term is up. Definitely, before the midterm but possibly a lot sooner if JD Vance is "successful" in Pakistan this weekend.
Vance could've never gotten to the White House on his own. The same way Kamala couldn't.
Trump will step down for health reasons. There's nothing wrong with the man and he says the wild things he does because that's the character he's playing.
I don't know who's in charge but it ain't these people. And don't tell me Netanyahu either.
Enjoy the show.
People always wait till ATH to shill you something.
I shill bottoms, corrections, bounces & tops
Thats right I’ll shill the top proudly, because I’m real.
I shill the $MOLT bottom
I shill the $MOLT correction
I’m shilling now the $MOLT bounce
I’ll gonna shill the next $MOLT top
Rinse & Repeat
#Sixers@JoelEmbiid has been diagnosed with appendicitis and will undergo surgery this afternoon in Houston. Per @ShamsCharania .
It seems like this is almost as good as tanking for the @Sixers, not that having Embiid on the court, really makes that much of a difference. #Bubblewrapbaby
Where are the prominent women in sports media to call out the unprofessionalism of the DR/MV situation?
They don’t take any issue w/ her statement saying this is how interactions in the industry typically go?
But I’m just a nobody w/ a small following so what do I know 🤷🏼♀️
