re: Private sports lessons for your child...video it?

True. This won't be a one time thing, and he has years to develop the habits...probably smart just to let him pick up things at his own pace.

Just let him watch kige

He's a baller...but this is about cultivating true belief over years of practice. No one is going to bet against him, he's just got build up muscle memory and belief from within.

I don't even know what the frick you just said. You cultivated true belief in what exactly? But then he has to build up belief from within? Isn't that what parenting does instead of another man?

Muscle memory? You have no clue dude. You are a moron. Your kids shot will change as he grows in size and strength. There is no "muscle memory" at this point.

I feel sorry for you that you can't teach your kid, and are living vicariously through him and this weird cultivating shite you are babbling about is crazy talk.

Now you're just a straight up weirdo. I've dealt with plenty of your kind.

My son's football team got a kid to come out to practice. He's played football in 1 game and 1 jamboree in his life at 8th grade. He's the starting RB/DE and PR/KR now. He's bigger faster than the other kids and has NO clue what he's doing except which way to run and try not to get tackled.
But we love him!

And wouldnt you think private lessons could turn this naturally gifted athlete into an even better player?


This board is so black or white its tarded sometimes (not talking to you specifically)

2% of high school kids will play D1 basketball.

3.1% will play college basketball at any level

he's very talented...he just needs know what he's doing is right, and work on shifting those things he isn't doing through perfect practice.

Let me remind you the same as I do most all moron parents pressuring their kids and labeling them with the "spcial talk".

Little Johnnie might be the very best he will EVER be RIGHT NOW. Eventually kids rise and fall based on genetics and ability vs their peers. Good now means not dick.

What you will do is burn the kid out just like AAU tard parents do.

And the funny things is, the ones that do likely had private lessons......


This board is right that some parents force way too much on their kids, but in true OT fashion, they go way overboard and freak out anytime they hear about a parent with a kid practicing and spending alot of times in sports

quote:

It's whatever, I just see more often than not it's NEVER a kid going to their parents saying "Hey Dad can I have private lessons so I can play better!"

---

Its even from my limited perspective


Some kids love it, some parents force it


And if the kid enjoys it, its pretty shitty parenting to just say no because "you wont be a pro anyway"


Thats a fantastic teaching tool

My son's football team got a kid to come out to practice. He's played in exactly 1 football game and 1 jamboree and, in the 8th grade, he's 5-6 years behind kids his age.
And now he's the starting RB/DE and PR/KR. He's simply bigger & faster than the other kids

We had a kid come out in 11th grade for football. Never played one down and we had all played since 8th grade. About a week later he was the starting RB, ahead of at least one kid that played D1 ball later I might add.
