As some of you may know, my son is BIG into baseball, and plays on a little league team. Last night, one of his teammates told the coach he had to pee really really badly, he was the lead off hitter for the inning, and had just come off the field. Coach told him they can't hold the game up for him, and the only way he could go is to hit a home run (joking) and if so he could run around the bases and through the fence if he wanted . He hit a home run. It was his first of the season. Now the entire team is drinking a lot more water He ran the bases faster than anyone I've ever seen, and didn't stop running until he got to the restroom.

On a side note, Bradley (my son) was the winning pitcher, and had a hit and an RBI. They won 9-5.

 

Great story and congrats to your boy.

 

He was motivated.

 

Congrats to Bradley and the team!!!

The power of suggestion......amazing!!!

 

I remember bathroom breaks being a necessity when I coached years ago. Enjoy it while you can. They grow up way too fast!

Just for grins, go get a copy of Bill Geist's book about coaching Little League. You won't stop laughing. It is a riot!
