Sue Enquist "Suck the life out of you."

[Amy in AZ.]

For all the newer posters here, I want to introduce you to Sue Enquist and what she says about the crowd that you hang around with, coaches, players and parents.

Thanks Amy. I plan on showing this to my 10YO DD when she gets home from softball camp today.

I've watched this repeatedly and have shown it to DD and corporate colleagues.
This applies in and off the field. It also helps me kick own butt when I dip to bottom 3rd!

Thanks for sharing this with everyone!!

To be honest, I can't put my finger on exactly why, but talks on this topic from the likes of motivational speakers, life coaches, business management gurus, and even "pastors", always make me cringe. It's as if the underlying philosophy has its roots in Mein Kampf. Life would be great if we could just get rid of the 33%.

I often get the same impression. However, I think you have to keep things in perspective. The purpose of these speeches is to elicit a positive emotional response, not stimulate deep thought. The message although superficial is beneficial for its intended audience, which in this case was 100 of so of the best prospects in the nation just prior to taking the field to showcase their skills. It was basically a pre-game pep talk and was most likely quite effective.

Sue Enquist, softball fascist??

Makes me want to shoulder a fastpitch bat and invade Poland.

I really love that speech. WaSpeed, I appreciate where you are coming from though. I guess we all have to be a little careful of the type of ideas we embrace.

It may sound strange to you, I know. I get that. However, ideas have consequences.

If you're ever looking for a very interesting book to read, check out Modern Fascism by Gene Edward Veith. It is quite eye-opening in light of modern developments in American culture, IMHO.

If it wasn't for the bottom 1/3rd most kids would suck.
