Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the most obvious observation was how similarly the adolescent ballplayers were all dressed, not in baseball pants but in sweatpants with t-shirts, because dressing differently would bring unwanted attention, which adolescents do not want. The author points out that almost every player had a cell phone and, as soon as the game finished, they shook hands with the other team and then went straight to check their phone messages. The paper concludes that social learning is a big part of an adolescent's life; therefore, adults have to surround these adolescent with the right people to generate more positive adolescent social behaviors.

From the Paper:

"Another thing I noticed was that five of the boys were wearing their hats a bit to the side. Those same five boys would be next to each other every time the coach huddled them up. It seemed as if they had their own little things going on apart from the rest of the team, kind of like the cool crowd. This particular observation of the boys wearing the hats a bit sideways is interesting because I see this often with kids not just playing baseball, but also the average teenage boy."
