  1. My youngest went 2-3 with a single and double (lined to center field) some RBIs, 2 runs scored and two outs at second base (4-3 ground out, and a 5-3 ground out). Kid is only in his second full season (8U coach pitch) still in developmental league. Gonna try and get him some camps this summer I think. He’s my most athletic. anyhoo, great Saturday for sure! Here he is at the plate the pitch he lined to center ...

  2. Not enough to volunteer as coach apparently.....
     
    Step up next time man. It's a joy.


    It’s a tad more complicated than that, or maybe it shouldn’t be. I don’t want to be dug out mom, I wanna coach. I’ll admit I’m a little afraid.
  3. Got two playing one in second year kid pitch other second year coach pitch. One team didn’t have a coach until week of the first game. I thought about volunteering to be a coach but didn’t. I chickened out.

     

    Games yesterday and today and two on Saturday.

     

    Youngest has a nice swing and really connects with the ball. He’s coming around on fielding. Gonna get him some training etc soon. Middle son had only a few years left I think (he’s the one with no coach until the last second).

     

    The grass is green and the weather is phenomenal. Little league is my jam. I love it.

  4. What the hell, worth a shot. Beating myself up is certainly more familiar, though.


    Haha. I’m not worth a shit, I’m a fragile broken human, what’s wrong with me, why can’t I get my butt up and go, my life is worthless, my career is going to crash and burn, my clients will fire me, I’ll lose my home, I’m a terrible parent, spouse, friend, you name it the insults just come rolling in. If I see it coming I say “duly noted, if we feel that way in a week we will reassess.” Luckily my cycles are rapid. But damn the hole can be deep.

    Hang in there, the thoughts are powerful but that’s all they are, thoughts. Reality is likely much different.
  5. I find when I recognize it I can be more gentle and compassionate with myself and I can let my thoughts be what they are - thoughts not necessarily reality. That’s the main difference awareness brings for me. Doesn’t move the needle much else but knowing I need to cut myself some slack and knowing my perceptions might not be reality seems to help a lot.

     

    Maybe you can prepare for self compassion and guarding yourself against assuming your thoughts are reality.

  6. If we win 3 of the final 4 series, I bet we host. 
    We should win the WV and New Orleans series. Just need to win 1/2 against TCU and Tech. 

    I think this too. Wifedastripper makes a good point NO blows so maybe a sweep there for good measure
