In this episode, we have a ‘counseling session’ on missing the sport of baseball. Don Louzader and Nate Lucas join us as we talk about how much they are missing their favorite pastime. We validated, had guidance and a pep talk from Coach Bill Rowe, discussed controlables, and how to put in action what they control into coping mechanisms for each one. Coping mechanisms are personal and several great suggestions for channeling energy was expressed. Baseball, like other sports, will return, and we will be grateful and appreciate the value they hold in our community. In the meantime, get outside and play catch, watch a sports movie, read a sports book, host a virtual trivia night over your favorite sport, exercise, or explore an option that is intriguing to you. Don’t waste energy on trying to control something you do not. Sports will return, have faith!

We also chatted with Volleyball official (of 44 years!), Bob Horton, about a scholarship available to seniors in high school. Great opportunity. Visit here to apply: https://forms.gle/5nhSAnPEQUrPMGxU6
