I personally employ and manage close to 100 young men between the ages of 16–28. There’s so much I admire about Gen Z—their individuality, creativity, and courage to walk away from things that don’t align with their values. But if I’m being honest… there are a few consistent

Little League all stars is a blessing and a curse. For those who make it, it gives them extra baseball in a more competitive environment. For those who dont make it, it widens the talent gap, and makes the regular season less competitive and fun for all. Providing players

Games are like the test. Kids dont get better at taking tests by taking them over and over. They get better by training the skills needed to succeed when the test comes around. The same goes for baseball. Lets get back to more training and development. ...And less games.

One of the quiet realities of coaching... You pour your heart into hundreds of kids over the years. Teach them. Push them. Laugh with them. And then — most of the time — you never see them again. But every once in a while, you cross paths with one of your old players. They

I’ve been running summer baseball camps for 16 years. And one thing I keep hearing more and more? “My kid was bullied.” And it hurts. It hurts to know a kid went home feeling small. Feeling excluded. Feeling like they didn’t belong. But here’s the thing… It’s not because

“My kid was bullied.”

And it hurts.

It hurts to know a kid went home feeling small.

Feeling excluded.

1/3 of your players don’t need your coaching to grow. 1/3 need it but don’t want it. 1/3 want it but don’t need it. Thoughts... 1️⃣Don’t waste time on those who don’t want it 2️⃣Find ways to reach those who need it but resist it 3️⃣Challenge and show up for the ones who want it

This picture says everything about youth baseball today. Families are lined up around the block for travel ball registration. The skill development and weight training line is empty. Everybody is running towards teams that play tournaments instead of teams that have a track

Unpopular opinion about the Little League World Series sign-stealing situation I totally understand the outrage We’re not trying to teach 10-year-olds to steal signs just to win games That’s not what youth baseball is about But at the same time, I think we’re missing the

If we react after every rep, we condition our kids to look to us for validation. We want our kids to look inside themselves for gratification. What I do: I don’t react or make many comments, either positive or negative, practicing with my son at home. If I say anything,

🔥Start Finished Drill ⚾️ Start with stiff front side and back side knee/heal driven. Great for stride length Building tension Stiff front side Balance But mainly it’s to get them comfortable swinging with their lower half in the proper position.

Punishment at practice is lazy. It might feel like you’re teaching a lesson… but most of the time, kids just shut down. Positivity and praise take more effort. They require patience. They require you to notice what’s going right. But they build confidence. They keep kids
