MB, thanks for your reply.

I was the same way....my p-doc thinks I was undiagnosed for 30 years. I agree - I might give it a rest and just hang it up. It is something I look forward to every year but it has become more and more of a grind. The kids of "yesteryear" were much more committed and competitive and that's probably part of the problem. The parents don't help, especially the ones that say "don't listen to coach, just play the way you want to play". Keep in mind I've sent ZERO kids to the pros, ZERO to D1, ZERO to D2, and only a few to D3 schools. A lot of parents I deal with are off the wall, as you can imagine. I want them to think of sports as a way to grow, compete, and learn that hard work pays off. Athletics is a microcosm of life.
Thanks for this!
