My timeline fills up with people hating NIL, and I donāt understand. Should we have better defined rules? Absolutely. Should players make $ when coaches/admin are making comfortable and often heafty salariesā¦.ummmm yes. If NIL kills locker rooms what happens in Pro Sports?!?

Whatās the important trait to being a GREAT Coach? Knowledge? Experience? Moxie? For me the list starts with being a great listener and is quickly followed by being relationship focused! Listen and then care!

Yup! Nailed it! Train athletes not robots!!
Save the boring weighted carries, pallof presses and planks for adults...under 12U should be sprinting, jumping, throwing, crawling, climbing and rolling. Stop adultifying kids training programs, they get enough of that in youth sports. It doesn't show expertise by making kids do

Most players and parents want exposure, but those that chase BOTH exposure and accountability are the ones who have success. Learning from failures & focusing on deficiencies help you reach your goals! Per the usual: baseball reflecting real life!

This is GOLD hitters!!!!
Every time a Game 7 rolls around, Iām reminded of another Game 7. 2016 World Series. Game 7. Indians vs. Cubs. Being that I didnāt start the game, I didnāt know when Iād get an at-bat. But I did know that when I did⦠- My breath was my anchor. - My self-talk was my weapon. -

Change isnāt always easy but most of the time itās necessary and better on the other side. Embrace change and be part of the solution. The baseball world at all levels is going through changeā¦I want to be part of the solution!

The biggest thing Iāve learned over my 20 years in baseball is that relationships matter most. Those who are successful in the industry care about relationships above all else. Itās a special corner of the world that I have been so blessed to be in!

Did Freddieās HR vault him into the āclutchestā hitter of all time category? Jeter, Altuve, Jackson, Ohtani? Who else we got?

My daughter is in gymnastics, before moving onto the next ālevelā she must have a mastery of skills tested. In youth baseball anyone can participate without a āskills checkā. Why?

Had some awesome conversations with numerous people from across the country this week! Believe it or not, amateur baseball is in a much better space than the contrarians on social media would have you believe. Many people out there striving to do right by kids and families!

Hereās a fun idea for Travel Orgs: 12u and Younger - Year Round Program where you build athletes - play 3 to 4 different sports through the year with the same āteamā. Baseball, Flag Football, Basketball and Soccer! Train athletes not robots!
