When you suspend a kid for this, you suspend his imagination. You suspend his ability to watch the best in the world and emulate them. You suspend his passion, his leadership, you suspend the reward for all the hard work and the moment of accomplishment. You also suspend the pitchers toughness, his resiliency, you suspend his character building moment by feeling sorry for him, you suspend the truth that greatness is hard and is to be earned. But really, you suspend any doubt that whomever thought this was excessive is themselves without all the qualities listed above, and that’s why they can’t understand it. Tell me…as an educator and a leader…what’s the teaching moment designed to be ascertained more deeply from the suspension? Frankly if I was an alumni of this place I’d work really hard behind the scenes fire the person responsible because it won’t take long for their lack of perspective to make another bad call! My teaching moment would be - “attitude is everything, and as a pitcher if I give up a homer I expect the hitter to be excited but I’ll hate you more if you feel sorry for me! Make the next pitch!” We want people that are strong enough to endure, less we build a generation of children who will be beaten by the adults being raised elsewhere in the world! I’d say “You’re fired because you don’t understand what it takes to achieve greatness and that’s evidenced by suspending a kid for achieving momentary greatness and you felt sorry for the other team! You literally felt wrong about every moment from every perspective! The homer builds confidence in the hitter and that should be celebrated and immediately offers the pitcher a moment to show resiliency to others and to himself, and the bat flip only heightens the moment for both of them! When viewed from the correct lens, a lens of mental toughness and passion, it’s easy to see that you as an administrator have very little perspective and shouldn’t be in a position to make this judgement call further. You’re fired because we are suspending our pursuit of averageness.”

Great advice from @JeffStanek1. This includes Pitchers. Coaches want to see that you can field your position. Can you beat the fast runner while covering first? Show you are an athlete.

You Won’t Throw Harder Until You Do This

Elite performers are elite problem solvers. Challenge & discomfort are the signals that an adjustment can be made that leads to increased ability. Learning to lean into the challenge gives way to becoming an elite problem solver.

This is going to surprise some people: Playing video games may be good for kids. Never seemed to ruin me (been playing since the early 1980s). You can even multi-task like my son, play video games and get your active recovery in with @TheMarcPro. sciencealert.com/boosted-bra…

Swinging a bat is like sprinting. “Less effort” doesn’t mean less speed Same for boxers throwing a punch. Next time you take a round of bp let your only two cues be “loose and quick” and watch the ball jump.
