Frequently Asked Questions
Coaching youth baseball as a "player development first" coach
is extremely difficult.
WHY? Because 'win-at-all-cost' is what the parents want---(it is all they know). Player development approach will cause your team to lose a few most likely. It is up to us to help parents see the BEST way to provide opportunities for their kids is to sacrifice winning games to allow kids to DEVELOP.
Rarely does a coaching mechanism come along that really moves the needle for coaches. I have made a ton of mistakes throughout my coaching career. But, I have polished and honed my approach and now want to share it with you all so you don't have to go through the same blunders I did, You can get fast results and even if you can help your own kid or a few kids get more joy out of baseball then it is priceless opportunity.
