Some of you may recall (from experience or Julie's blog), my baseball training practices for Miles, starting when he was a mere infant. I used to throw a ball at him. Literally throw it AT him. To try to hit him. I didn't want Miles to ever be afraid of a ball. However, my methods seemed to have caused trauma, rather than immunity from the dreaded sphere.
The theory was sound, but initial results (4 + yrs) were less than favorable. Miles would flinch away from any ball thrown in his direction. Loved to hit, throw, and run; not a big fan of catching.
Until now!
That's my buddy Miles during our now ritualistic daily catch. What an athlete! (What a coach.)
Next project: teach Landon to run like a little boy, and not like a little penguin.
(My first videos - props to Julie, my blog mentor.)
I am Pop.
I am Casey Stengel.
Oh, and I'm also Ace Ventura!
You're good, you're good kid!
ReplyDeleteLandon does not run like a penguin!
ReplyDeleteWow what a great catch! You are an excellent coach ... but what is with the long hair??? I hardly recognized you. :) Great videos for the first time. :)

Maybe you need to watch Ace Ventura again. You reminded me less of Jim Carrey and more of George Bush. But that's just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHandsome shirt! And if I recall, don't all three of your daughters run penguin-like?
ReplyDeleteI am mildly offended.
