This morning I made a bad play as the first base coach of my son's baseball team at a critical time. I feel like it cost us the game. I have been down on myself all day about it. In looking at this I realize that...

I was/am resentful at myself.

Personal relations - I am afraid of what other people think about me.
Pride - I must think I am so good that I won't ever make critical mistakes.
Self Esteem - I am having an emotional cascade in which I feel excessively dejected.
Ambitions - I was too heavily invested in winning.

I placed too much dependence upon my desires, my scope of perspective.
I turn this over to God and ask him to remove my excessive pride, competitiveness, and need for approval of others.

At the end of the game I had hostile feelings for the other team's coach for his aggressive play. This morning I made a bad play as the first base coach of my son's baseball team at a critical time.

At the end of the game I had hostile feelings for the other teams coach for his aggressive play. I couldn't place my finger on exactly what he did that I saw as overly aggessive but I did see that his attitude was over the top competitiveness. It was as if the game were his not the kid's. This bothered me the rest of the day.

My wife and I bickered about our plans after the game about going to a party afterward. I reacted to her in a distracted moment. We were both able to recover from this.
