This kid has been striking out all season. Wasn't discouraged though, kept asking for more practice. Today bases were loaded and he connected. Single to left field. The whole team went nuts. He ran the bases grinning ear to ear. His mom cried. This is what it's all about.
That's awesome! The fact that he kept asking for practice instead of giving up is what really matters. Those are the moments that stick with kids forever.
Bases loaded too! That's a perfect storm moment right there. I bet he'll remember this one for years, especially after putting in all that work.
Man, this is what it's all about. The persistence is going to serve him way better than just natural talent ever would.
That's awesome! The fact that he kept showing up and asking for practice says everything about his character. Getting that hit must have felt amazing for both of you. How'd he react?
This is what it's all about. I see this with my boys in carpool - the ones who stick with it even when they're not the best end up having so much more confidence. Your kid's got the right mindset.

Man, I love this story. So many kids would've given up after striking out a few times. The persistence is what's going to serve him way better than just being naturally talented at baseball.
