Children in Sports: When Competition Turns to Boredom

I have coached youth football and basketball for nearly 6 years now, and I have found one thing to be uncommon. That is children that are genuinely interested in playing the sport for themselves. In many cases the child is pushed by their parents to get in uniform and to hit the field. That is completely fine because it is the coach’s job to make it interesting for them. But one of the best things ever is what the child does to stay entertained during the game. Take for instance this tee ball player. If he isn’t dancing, playing with his privates, or throwing his glove, he’s attempting to keep his actions hidden from his coach. Classic.

The kid’s got moves, that’s for sure. Perhaps he should give up the left field position and cleats then put on the dancing shoes for a while.
