With the 4th of July now past, it’s hot and humid and I’m finding that I’m spending more time indoors than out. One of the ways I pass the incredibly hot summer days is to watch an awesome game of baseball. It’s fun and I watch how they play in hopes of picking up on a few good ideas to pass along to the kids team I coach. Kids should be encouraged to play softball or baseball whenever possible. Aside from developing great motor skills, its social interaction which makes them more connected with their peers and helps them to improve their view of themselves. If you are not now involved with coaching this fine sport, I strongly suggest you consider it. Our kids today are hungary for more interaction with adults who not only improve their sports abilities, teach them other wonderful attributes like patience and competition.
