When buck fever throws you a curveball

It’s World Series season, and I love baseball – the sights, the sounds, and the culture that come with it. My son shares that same passion and plays on two teams, both of which I head coach.
Managing 30 kids across two squads takes a serious physical toll. A coach ends up throwing an incredible number of baseballs over the course of a Minnesota summer, enough to give a guy severe tendonitis, commonly known as pitcher’s elbow. It’s a frustrating ailment that takes months to heal. What’s worse, however, is when a summer sports injury follows you straight into deer season.
