Morgan Ensberg has parental advice
He says:
The future of baseball continues to get more athletic and if you want to play in the Big Leagues, you better be good at soccer, football, or basketball as well.... David Wright is a power hitting third baseman who steals bases. John Smoltz might become a professional golfer. Did you know that Brad Lidge could probably play Olympic Table Tennis if he practiced? Do you know that Carlos Beltran’s best sport is volleyball? Do you know Roy Oswalt is a center fielder? Joe Mauer is a quarterback. Derek Lee got a full ride to play basketball at the University of North Carolina!
Wayne Gretzky said that he preferred playing baseball to hockey, and when hockey season was over, he stuck to baseball. He did not play year-round, and he says kids should not play year-round in a sport.
But, parents do not want to listen to the best players in the league. They have confirmation bias and simply need ONE person to tell them that what they are doing is right and they’ll ignore the 100 people who tell them otherwise.
