I had to learn the enjoy part the haRd way. DD at 11-12 got out of pitching for no other reason than me and my driving her like I was pushed. She did not respond well to it. She would come in from pitching practice at home in tears and I with blood vessels popping out. We got back in it @ 14 with an adjusted attitude from me and a good PC. Now lessons are fun and we joke and cut up in the basement. The 45 minute ride to and from lessons is when we talk SB, boys, politics, and life in general and it is great.
My DD much prefers practicing with me than with her dad. And my older one won't let him tell her ANYthing. He's too serious and he gets all mad if they aren't listening well. I'm more loose about it and fun. They can't tell how much time I spend obsessively reading about drills and things I hide it well.
