Coverton's First Swing at Baseball

Coverton decided he wanted to start baseball this summer. This is new to us as none of our kids have ever been interested. At first, it was a rough start. He wanted to stay in the car or on the sidelines during practice, having panic attacks and was so worried. His coaches and team mom, Brandon Tueller, Danielle Fox, and Jenn Benson were great to work with him and we listened to him and encouraged him. But after he got going, we've heard and seen nothing but great things. He always wants to play catch, get to his games and practices early, and has a blast. His coaches say he's one of their best players and his friends all say he's a beast. He was so worried he wouldn't be able to do it, but he's got a good arm, a good catch and a good swing. He had one game with three home runs! Baseball is pretty big here and his team was fun, it's a co-ed team with several ages. Covey also started counseling to help the anxiety. He sees a wonderful counselor who works with children and she's been fabulous in giving him tools to help deal with this. We are proud of him for sticking with it and for all of the progress he's making in baseball and life! Play ball!
