Tough luck starting off with two losses. I remember my first game coaching youth soccer we got hammered 8-0 and I found myself wondering if I was cut out for it. I don't know if you're having some of the same doubts, but if you are, I can tell you that if you stick with it, things can turn around. It certainly did with the squad I coached.


As I talked about in the post above, I worry about my ability to help the team hit better. The other parts of the game, such as strategy, and defense, and positioning, I know I am a good coach and so I will not get down on myself.

Here's a suggestion regarding Brendan: Jesse is clearly your top C and has a rapport with Trey, but since it appears Brendan shows potential and is just raw right now, maybe you could work him with some of the other pitchers to try and find a matchup there too.


That's what our plan was, but frankly he's very raw at this point. We will definitely be working with him, and matching him up with Percy last game was intended to help him build confidence, though it didn't work that way.
