[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Sports are a great way for a freshman to assimilate into a school.  S/he may not ever end up playing a varsity sport and may be disappointed, but it is still a great learning experience.

Youth sports and a trophy for everyone do not teach kids about life.  Resiliency is extremely important and sports are a great way to learn.

Remember: you learn more from failure than success.

And, physical activity is good.[/quote]

Absolutely agree with everything you wrote.

The problem I am facing is that, son is doing a challenging academic activity, which he is very passionate about and where he is doing exceptionally well (national level). He does very well academically in general and is used to getting accolades from teachers, coaches.

In baseball he ends up being below average and barely makes the team. This is something that he is not used to in academics. I would love for him to just to be able to participate in the game next two years as well (he is a sophomore now) for all the reasons you mention. I am trying to see if there is any way I can help. If he does really badly, most likely he would lose interest and not play the game next year. I am hoping to prevent that if at all possible.
