What do you say to your son after he laid down the best bunt you’ve ever seen in a game and everything goes right, but he misread the coach’s signal?

The key to my son’s decision is that he made a decision and commitment after doing a risk assessment and cost/benefit analysis. We may misread a sign, but we can't be double-minded about our decision.

Being double-minded is the act letting go of something to get to a goal, but still holding on so that obtaining the goal is not possible. This could happen in reverse. In order to get to a goal, it may require holding on tight to your values. A double-minded person lets go of their values, which keeps them from their goals.
