WHEN YOUR BOY EXCELS AND GETS BETTER...

I have to brag on Shawn today. I am beyond proud and thrilled that this kid is coming out of his shell and finally realizing his potential in his baseball skills. We have personally spent HOURS every evening passing the ball, working on grounders, batting, pitching, and that is on top of one on one coaching with Bryson. He is doing well and gaining back the confidence he lost when we started player pitch. That is a completely different animal than coach pitch. The fear of getting hit, not feeling like he was good enough, and feeling the doubt from the coaches, led him down a rabbit hole that honestly almost made him quit baseball forever.

I am glad he powered through the negative people and the harsh comments so he could finally hold his head high. He isn’t the same kid he was a year ago! I beyond proud of how far he has come in this year with his new travel baseball team. His coach is AMAZING!! He sees Shawn and his talents and makes him feel appreciated, needed, and heard. He stands out and is really giving this coach his all and wants to work hard for him. That is something I haven’t seen him do in a while because he was on the verge of quitting.

When I hear and SEE the visual confidence now, it makes my heart happy! I always knew he was good, but now he is so much better! He is physically and mentally stronger. He pitches well over 50 MPH and catches very well and is learning from Bryson like a boss. I am so proud of his work ethic, his determination, and his soul. He makes his mom so proud and he has no idea, how hard I have been rooting for him, praying for him, and just wanting him to see the potential that I do. It is within him to do great things in life. I just can’t wait to watch it unfold.
