Nice post, unfortunately many kids succeed on LI (and probably elsewhere ) due to their own hard work and perseverance. Despite the coach, most of them with an agenda that does not include your son. Having three boys going through or have gone through the process, one is an all American despite of the coaches who didn’t believe in him, but jumped on the bandwagon to take credit. Ultimately your son will succeed at this sport if he keeps his eyes on his goals (with the never-ending support of his PARENTS)! Remember that that there is NO substitute for practice, practice, practice! Good luck to all the underdogs out there! Go out and prove people wrong!
