      Lilceejay A Dub is it because he looks so much like a girl?

      Agreed that he would be good as cleanup, although in addition to getting on base and drawing lots of walks (led the Astros in base on balls in 2017), he's particularly good at setting the tone and getting the other hitters going. I was watching the game tonight (regular season vs. Oakland) and he hit a homer. Altuve steps up and hits one right after him. One of the announcers pointed out that Altuve likes to homer right after George does. He's such a great mood maker for the Astros.

    I have friends who stutters when she speaks NEVER EVER try to complete their sentences or cut them of mid sentence it's absolutely rude. You just gotta let them grind it out.

      On the other side of the coin, when I have to speak to my friends I tell them I'm sorry if I take so long to talk lol

      I have stuttering and it just makes it worse when someone talks while I'm talking and it makes me restart

      I have a stutter too right now and im almost 15 going into highschool, and that's the thing I always get annoyed about when people just don't let me speak.

      Joe Kunsch let me say I am sorry to you and all the stutters I used to make fun of as a kid. You guys are really brave and deserve a ton of respect. I am sure assholes like me didnt make it easy for you. Sorry again!

    I love his story!!! My 11 year old son is a great baseball player and deals with stuttering. It's so important to have supportive coaches, teachers, and parents. George will be an inspiration to my son! I can't wait to show him these videos.

    Hearing his story made me more motivated to try and be friends with a kid I know that has a stutter and can often be afraid to talk.

    Thanks for being a badass George.. I've developed a stutter/stammer and it's a struggle I deal with...but we all have struggles, it's part of being human

    I was already a Springer fan because of UConn(my alma mater). Now I’m an even bigger fan having learned of his work to overcome stuttering AND to work with others who stutter.

    Great positive video. I've always liked the way GS carried himself and didn't know anything about his stuttering.

    His support of SAY has been great for the Stuttering community. My family wouldn’t know about SAY if it wasn’t for Springer’s involvement. SAY is great place for kids but also a great resource and support for parents.

  • @WorldElectronica
    @WorldElectronica Před 6 lety +3

    What George achieved is really fascinating because of his impediment. I know first hand how one is going through and what can feel. What is very hard about stuttering is acceptance that you have to live with it,live with that shame, because it is not accepted in society and people just simply dont care because they dont understand cause they dont have to,it's not their problem

    • @breannadeleon8667
      @breannadeleon8667 Před 4 lety

      I agree with your comments I have a speech impediment as well and it’s still hard to often be accepted by your and peers ,family & friends
