My kids both play travel baseball, and I’d love for them to quit. I make it quite clear that they can quit at any time but they don’t want to. I have absolutely said no long exotic trips for baseball tournaments.
A kid who truly wants to be a great ball-player would need to treat learning great mechanics much the same way a classical pianist toils over the keyboard. I don’t think my kids are going to be Pros, so I am questioning why should they go through all that.
However I have stopped short of quiting for them (by simply no longer writing checks). I think it’s their decision at this point.
