T-Ball Lessons for Life
By: David Lee
 
This spring I had the pleasure of coaching my five year old son's tee ball team. If you haven't spent a lot of time around a group of five year olds, it is a rewarding experience. The remarkable thing about the season was watching them learn some baseball and watching the progress they made during the season. They went from not knowing second base from the dugout to running out to their positions in a somewhat organized manner. It occurred to me, however, during our last game that most of what they had learned had very little to do with baseball. There was much more going on than baseball. They were learning some lessons about life and reminding us adults of some lessons we might have forgotten. So I tried to write down some of the more obvious.
 
  1. Be ready when it is your turn to hit. It is just you, the bat, and the ball. No one is going to do it for you.
  2. One base at a time. There are no shortcuts.
  3. You can't play with rocks in your pockets. They will only slow you down.
  4. Ignore that plane in the sky. You might miss something. Like the ball. Or a job. Or the love of your life.
  5. A teammate, like a friend, is sacred. Don't forget it.
  6. Stay focused. There is always going to be someone at the fence yelling out what to do. Anybody can yell from the other side of the fence.
  7. Hit the ball as hard as you can. You might not get another chance.
  8. It is okay to have one go through your legs. Mistakes happen. Just get your glove down the next time.
  9. Laugh with your teammates. It's healthy. Plus, it feels good.
  10. The walk to the car after the game is better with a juice box in one hand and one of your parents holding the other. That is why they are there.
  11. Rules are important. Otherwise, it is just practice.
  12. Always slide into home. You've accomplished your goal. Celebrate a little.
  13. Shake hands with the other team after the game. It shows respect. Plus, one day they might be your teammate.
  14. Learn to play the position the coach puts you in. Everybody can't play pitcher or bat first. When the game is on the line, left field and batting sixth isn't that bad.
Since there are only so many tee ball teams to go around and you might not have made it to a game this season, I hope that maybe some of these tee ball lessons may help you along the way. I know this season was a good reminder for me.
 
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the most important one. Go to the bathroom before the game. You might miss your turn at bat while you are in the port-a-potty. Trust me. It happens.
