    As a head coach now in my 20th year, the one constant has been that players who love spending time in this room are the same ones that I trust the most on the field. Work ethic, toughness, overcoming adversity, earning respect of your teammates, etc. are all built in this room.

    I’m just a HS coach that doesn’t know much, but if I was ever a college recruiter I would go all in on tough kids that compete. I see a lot of soft kids that are good in a showcase format getting offers but others that you will win with don’t.

    You want a recipe for disaster. Parents working, kids at home doing virtual school, and no extracurricular activities.

    Hey young coaches, you might want to familiarize yourself with those 5 tools. Being a baseball coach is more than just fungos and BP.

    I shouldn’t be surprised by anything as long as I’ve been a coach, but when a parent questions a coaches wife about a decision the coach made is an all new low. Leave our dang families alone. They sacrifice enough without having to deal with that crap

    The worst part of travel baseball is when grown men think it’s about them and not the kids.

    Such a revealing look into the life of a coach. We make choices that will be second guessed by everybody. Sometimes they work out. Sometimes they don’t. And when we leave the field we are husbands and fathers like everybody else.

    Until 11.7 is changed I don’t want to hear about these other sports where all the athletes are on full scholarships wanting more. They already live like kings while baseball players are racking up debt from student loans.

    67% of K’s begin w/ a 1st pitch strike 74% of BB begin with a 1st pitch ball 93% of 1st pitch strikes lead to an out It’s not real complicated pitchers

    I believe one of the biggest challenges facing coaches in today’s showcase generation is getting players to truly buy in to playing for something greater than themselves.
