I have used in the past the "Beloved Bucket" method for reeling in Attitude and Laziness. Simple if you decide to get an attitude or just being lazy you will be sent to the bucket. I have a special DD on my team that could play with any team, Problem ATTITUDE she is as hard headed as a young goat. (won't go in to the head butting stories). She can pitch, catch, play any position really good but lacks any direction while playing there or in practice, One Head Butt, she was playing SS the other day in game she kept truing to correct the pitcher, and calling her out on every bad pitch ? . Told her lay off the mouth softly and she just put both hands over her ears (smoking here) . The batter that hits SS area she sees her and walks over and stands on 2-base. with her arms crossed. I CALLED TIME ! walked out of dugout and politely said get in the dugout! . after the game her mom wanted to talk to me . She said I drafted her daughter to catch. I said Yes MAM I Did . She was my first Pick (that hurts ok) . She told me she only caught one game ! . I said yes she threw behind three runners, threw the ball over the 2base with runners on third twice. Gave the other team by her self 7 runs before I could turn around. Bucket will be brought out this week the first time she or any other will be setting. A Coach said to me that's what the bench is for ? Don't agree the bench is for team players not Attitude. I told the parents and Girls in the first Meeting I cannot Coach Attitude or Laziness and no other coach can either. I want this girl to straighten out but everyone knows she will never make the high school team or any collage program in the country. Oh her mother pulled her from last years All-Star team during their game and took her home ! . You know I didn't know that !. Bucket may Train or Pack Her "That's her Choice" Thanks Grady
