[quote=Anonymous]My almost 10 year old adores baseball, too, and also won't practice. He is a pitcher, but will only practice at practice...which won't really get you where you want to go! He swears his life plan is to pitch for the Orioles. I think these kids WANT to want to put in all that practice and be fantastic, but they don't want to, so they are stuck. Its going to take them some years to reconcile their desire to be great athletes with the reality that you have to practice hard and long to get there. To be honest, I didn't get to that point until late teens, where I realized that wanting passionately to be great at my sport wasn't the same thing as running enough stadium sprints at 6am to make me great. I just wasn't willing to do the work...and so I wouldn't be great. I figured that out at 18. It may take your boy a while, too.[/quote]
