Dealing with a delusional parent who thinks he is a coach
There is a greater investment of time, money and emotional support to develop a reliable pitcher than there is with other positions. Position players at rec level can take a few months off from softball and be ready to play again with a few weeks of practice to knock off the rust. Pitchers need...- Michael Goodin

Do I need a tax id number
Obviously, check with an accountant or tax attorney, but you probably will need a tax id for the team to avoid having dues/sponsorship monies count as personal income.- Michael Goodin

Immature Teammates
We're either a 45 minute drive or 70 minute drive to her practice fields. It's not practical to drop-off and go back home for TB practices like I do with her rec team. I'm quiet as a church mouse when I do watch practices, but she is at that stage in life where she wants some independence --...- Michael Goodin

Mask or No Mask

I think it is more likely that masks prevent or limit bone and eye injuries. DD1's orthodontist insisted that she wear a...- Michael Goodin

Mask or No Mask
Ask any concussion specialist and they will tell you this chart is out of date. Over 90% of people who experience a concussion do not lose consciousness. The severity of a concussion is not determined by a loss of consciousness. DD2 experienced a concussion doing a tumbling routine on a...- Michael Goodin

ImPACT baseline testing?
The Impact test is mandatory for all MS/HS athletes in DD's school district. I think all the schools districts in this region requires the Impact test. The clinicians can locate the area/type of concussion that a person sustains. Also, they can track the healing process. My youngest DD just...- Michael Goodin

The Concussion
DD #2 is a gymnast and she got a concussion during routine warm-up (landed wrong doing a flip she has done 1,000+ times over 5 years). The coach knew when it happened something was wrong and phoned my wife. We are fortunate to live in an area with some of the best concussion doctors in the...- Michael Goodin
