It’s finally here. Opening Day for Baseball Season. Every fan thinks their team can win the championship. Excitement is in the air. The Cards are on T.V.
Mom I hope that you take a chance to sit down with your child and enjoy America’s Past-time. It is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with our kids.
Tonight I have watched the Women’s NCAA Tourney with my daughter and as I write this my son just fell asleep watching the Cardinals.
With all the things that seem to be wrong with pro sports today it gives us parents a chance to discuss some serious issues with our kids. Tonight we talked about what it takes to be successful. How hard it is to perform when a lot of people are watching. What’s wrong with steroids. 10 year olds like to ask all kinds of questions. And I love to answer them.
Mom I think you will be surprised by your child’s reaction if you asked them to sit down and watch whatever sport they’re interested in. If you are sincere about learning more about their interest they will open up to you as you ask more questions. If you don’t know much about the sport ask a bunch of questions, they will love the fact that they are teaching you something and that you really care.
So Mom, Let’s watch some T.V.
Your Kid will Love you for it.
God Bless,
Darrell
It’s Baseball Season March 7, 2008
Posted by Darrell in : Baseball , 2commentsI love this time of the year. Spring is on the way and so is baseball season.
This can also be a tough time for single or divorced moms who aren’t quite sure what they need to do to get their future all-stars ready for the season.
I have compiled a short list to help you through.
-
Ask the coach what equipment is needed if any.
-
Make sure you get a glove that fits their hand. Bigger is not always better.
-
When buying equipment getting the proper size is critical, Dick’s Sporting Goods has a great online buyer’s guide for just about every sport you can think of. www.dickssportinggoods.com Search (Buyer’s Guides)
-
Make sure they are ready for practice and please show up on time most leagues are short on fields and practice time is limited.
-
Don’t forget to make it Fun.
Here’s to the beginning of a great season.
God Bless,
Darrell
Single Mom, Help is on the Way March 1, 2008
Posted by Darrell in : Just For Mom , add a commentMy name is Darrell Coulter and for years now I have been wanting to create some form of an outreach to help single / divorced moms with any or all of their sports related questions.
Through out 15 years of coaching youth Football, Baseball, Boys and Girls AAU Basketball and Girls Softball you would have thought that I would have heard just about any question that could be raised, yet every year I get someone brings up another interesting situation that needs to be addressed.
Through this blog my prayer is that I will not only be able to help you find an answer to your questions, but to build a community that is bigger than sports, that inspires all of us to reach out and help a friend, a neighbor or even a stranger that needs that special touch that only you can give.
I am going to start posting answers to some of the most frequent questions I get asked. I think you will be surprised by the type of questions that a lot of the moms I talk to have. I want you to know that no question is out of bounds ( ha ha) and that I will attempt to answer every question either through a post or by replying to your email.
So let me know what your looking for and together we can make your child’s sports experience the best it can be.
