Then entrust your kid to the coaches when you bring them to a game or practice. Get them there on time with their shirts tucked in and hats on straight\u2014 and no pants drooping to their knees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Develop responsibility. <\/strong>Don\u2019t stand behind the dugout asking your kid if he\u2019s hungry or thirsty. Don\u2019t run back and forth to the concession stand. Let your Little Leaguer take responsibility for his or her own water and snacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Every player hustles. <\/strong>\u201cThere is never an excuse for lack of hustle on a baseball field,\u201d Mike wrote. \u201cPlayers who don\u2019t hustle and run out balls will not play.\u201d No matter their level of talent, <em>everyone <\/em>can hustle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let them learn the inner game.<\/strong> Attitude, concentration and effort are three things that kids can control on and off the field, even sitting on the bench. \u201cIf they give me those three things every time they show up, they will have a great experience,\u201d Mike wrote. Not just Little Leaguers either. \u201cMy wife was a college field hockey player and my daughter is a college ice hockey player.
