Tournament Team

My son made it on the KAC Bronco Tournament Team. Yay!!!

The team will be playing in a qualifying tournament next month and if they are in the top 4, they get to play in the state tournament in Kauai. The winner then advances to the mainland to play in other regional tournaments and then the Pony World Series.

I'm not sure how far this team will go, but it's great working with the kids. The coaching staff is really good this year and the kids are learning a lot and getting a feel of what it's like to compete for a position.

My son was the starting second baseman for his regular season team. He also played pretty well in the outfield, blocked the ball really well as catcher, and pitched the closing inning in a lot of games. On the Tournament Team, he is one of the younger players and may not see as much playing time. I've been talking to him all season long about working on his game. Now that he is on a team of really good players, I can finally see it sinking in. He is finally realizing that he needs to practice hard and work on things to get better.

He may or may not get the playing time. But I think the lessons that he is learning is worth more in the long run. Work hard, care about what you are doing, and improve something every day.......KAIZEN
