Coach Jason

Last spring when we started Talan in T-ball, Jason very clearly stated he did not want to help with any part of it, let alone coach. His reasoning for making such a statement made sense to him, in that he says growing up the coaches child  always seemed to get special treatment, do whatever they wanted, and he wanted Talan to have a clear distinction between who his coach is and who his Daddy is, and to have someone other than himself teach Talan baseball technique at practice and games. He already plays catch with T any chance that they can ...fast forward about two practices into last Spring and Jason jumped in to help because none of the other parents could get their butts off their lawn chairs to assist and the poor coach couldn't be in-field and out-field, and pitcher, and first base coach all at the same time.  Now here we are in our 3rd season (we did Fall ball, which was a bit lack luster) and Jason is assistant coach!  I'm so happy he didn't stick to his previous plan to remain un-involved because he is such a natural coaching the kids and you can see the sheer joy in T's face having his Daddy out there on the field with him! Jason does have to grit his teeth every time he puts on the Yankees hat to coach in (T is on the Yankees for the second time) but he removes it quite promptly at the end of each game! Hopefully next year they get to sport some orange and black!!
