[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Loss of interest/passion, and not really connecting with teammates interpersonally (no major issues, just not close friends). Coach was good.

Not connecting with teammates is what I see A LOT. They get along OK but really as they get to late ES/MS they are more like frenemies. I say this as someone who was involved with travel teams until recently as a non-parent. The parents dynamics are also fascinating. Some people really get hurt when they realize their and/or their children’s friendships were not as genuine as they believed.[/quote]

I'm not even sure they cared about each other enough to be frenemies, TBH. Probably the best analogy would be the way you would feel at a forced lunch with coworkers you had little in common with and not that much to talk about with.  You don't hate them, but you don't want to be there either.[/quote]
This made me think of DS's team at the HS level. Pretty sure this is how he and others think of it, but they are playing together for the common good of improving in the off season to improve and make their HS teams and get playing time.  [/quote]

For HS team it isn't really about making the team better so much as the individuals. They really could care less about the HS baseball team. Its how do I translate this experience for college.[/quote]
