My daughter plays varsity Softball , because of the early bad weather days ,we had to play 4 games in a row . Our third game was the first actual league game , which counts for the season record . We were up 4-2 in the 5th against a team that had beat us year after year . Runner on second a line drive to left center fence my daughter playing CF is first to the ball and has a good arm . As she picks up the ball her hand touchs the fence and she has to readjust her arm to throw. The third base coach sends the runner , throw is late runner scores . As the inning ends a parent / travel coach , has a word with my daughter . Tells her next time raise your hand and give it a little kick to get it all the way under. We ended up losing in overtime the 8th inning . After she got home I asked what the conversation was about and agreed with the other parent that could have been the difference in the rally getting started.
OK I WOKE UP THIS MORNING and stopped her on the way to school and said SORRY I was caught up in the moment THATS NOT HOW WE PLAY THE GAME. I got the BIGGEST HUG and she said thanks DAD ,that was really starting to bother me. That went against everything you have been telling me .
PROUD DAD MOMENT !!!

And it also seems she got a lesson in admitting it when we're wrong, that ability is also another great trait, so Good job Dad!
Just kidding man! Congrats to you for backing her up and correcting your self. It sure isn't easy being a parent these days but it's moments like that that make it all worth while!
