I went water fording on the 210 this morning on my way to work.
Yes, in LA, 2" of rain on the freeway counts as water fording :lol:

That’s off the trail not rail :)

Always focus on fun and success and enjoy your kids path in all endeavors.
I am thrilled to learn one on mine is going to coach a 10U team this year. The more girls that return to the game and give back the better!

My first post. I've been a reader for years. I finally paid for the premium membership out of respect for those that run this site, which, I have used for seven years of travel ball try outs. Thank you.

I coached rec and then a few years of travel. I was hard on my daughter. She was thick skinned, but looking back, I was the jerk. I think it was around 12U Travel when I read the best advise I could have found. It saved my relationship with my daughter and probably helped avoid burn out. I found it in a monthly Newsletter by Mike Candrea.

"The only two things that you say to your daughter when driving home after a game. I'm proud of you. Where do you want to go eat? " I have literally bit my tongue until bleeding. But, I did it. I took that advise and still use it today.

That has stayed with me for eight years. Now, I'm the mellow guy that talks others off the ledge. Instead of pacing behind the stands and talking trash about the coaching, I sit with my wife every game. The more parents that sit together in the stands, the more chemistry will develop on the team. Every girl out there is trying her best. What more could we want? My kid is going to play for an NAIA school next year. Perfect for her and she is excited. I am thoroughly proud and my softball cup is full.

Be her biggest fan. Have her back no matter what, even when she goes 0-fer, or juggles a ball at SS. It's okay.

So I guess the time I made her ride home on the roof rack after a bad game wasn't a good idea?

At least you gave her a ride and did not make her walk home
