I was going to post this to pattar but will post here and hopefully he will read it here. A few years ago, on a baseball site, I had a dad contact me about this same issue. Long story short, I asked him if he ever considered that his son just needed a break. The son took the break and actually came down to hit with me from Chicago. That is a long drive. We did a weekend and the young man attended our baseball camp the following week while here. He laughed and fit right in getting away from all of the expectations etc. that he felt at home. Naturally, he missed a lot of summer ball doing that. This young man during his senior year ended up playing against my high school in the state tournament. Eventually, he went to a P5 where he did well and got an education. Sometimes they just need a break.
