Monday night we had our first Phillies (Michael's Team) practice and on Tuesday night we had our first one for the Cubbie Bears (I wonder who is on that team?). I am coaching the Cubs, and was flying solo our first practice; Jens said it went well.
It was a little surprising how much of a leader Alex is. Every time I asked a question he was the first and most vocal to answer. When I asked the kids to run to a place, they would run as a pack and follow Alex. And like a true leader, his followers followed even when he was wrong (he and his posse ran to 3rd when I said go to short stop)!
After practice I acquired for Michael and Alex popsicles from Whole Foods to make the practices a bit more rewarding; when I was a kid going to Sonic for slushies afterwards was always my favorite part of little league practice!
