re: Kid was just cut from baseball team

A few years ago, my little niece didn’t make tryouts for her high school dance team. Before this, she was with one of those expensive traveling cheer/dance teams in town. She tore a ACL and then didn’t rehab or prepare for tryouts like she should have. She thought she was a shoe-in. She didn’t make it and was crushed. I haven’t seen her be I’ll prepared for anything since that day. She’s receiving a full paid acedemic scholarship to LSU because she prepared and kicked arse on the ACT. Twice.

So, the moral is that this can be a good thing if you’re a strong parent and use it as a lesson. Make this the spark that lights the fire in his soul.
