I still do word association frequently. "Don't think - just answer - what pops in your brain when you hear the world 'School.' My daughter just finished Kindergarten. Her response: "friends." Beautiful.

In 10 years of asking kids what the first word they think of when they hear "School" - I've only ever had 4 positive answers. Over the last month, I asked 100+ workers at various jobs what word they think of when they hear "Job". We have a "Purpose" problem in this world.

I am in the transfer portal. Give me a call; I'm ready to talk! Home run during inner-squad scrimmage off of First Team Big Sky Pitcher. It’s always cool to see multiple different angles of my swing. Thanks, Awre cameras! @SoftballPortal @SSN_Softball @D1Softball @64Analytics_Sfb

This is money! Again why I follow a lot of hockey, lacrosse & soccer coaches on here and Steve! Other sports care about letting kids play (most). Following other countries and how they allow development. USA just cares about winning, which MATTERS but not so much in an early age.

I rarely coached 3B. I’d stay in the dugout and watch the game with the kids. We’d discuss the game and decisions of the players while they were happening. Why that pitch, why that swing, why is the left fielder playing the line? Can we go 1st to home if ball in the gap? IMO - all of this was more beneficial than me giving steal/bunt/take signs and removing ownership of these decisions from the kids.

“Coaching is about putting kids into positions…” When coaches PUT kids into positions - kids can’t discover these themselves. There is no free lunch but my argument is the loss of discovery is more destructive than the benefit gained by the coach “controlling” game decisions. My argument is NOT to do zero coaching but rather - during game play let kids explore and discover and then discuss after. “Why not bunt here? Why didn’t you steal? Why did you get thrown out? What can you do differently?”

@LegKickNationOG Asking a player to bunt is not hurting their development. It is asking them to perform a more difficult task. You are encouraging more development. Coaching is about putting kids in positions to express the skills they have learned at practice. Not removing yourself

Let's recruit! With the 15U National Championships in full swing in Cary, it's a great time for coaches to take advantage of the daily new footage. With the all new Scouting and Recruiting tab, coaches can filter and search for EXACTLY the type of player that fits their program, with, literally, millions of clips at their disposal. Build tomorrow's roster, today.

THANK YOU!!!!! Where did the athletic ability go? Clutch hitting in the 8th and 9th inning? Starting pitching that goes 8 or 9 innings? Base stealing-hell just good base running and SPEED?!? Sac bunts-moving runners over late in a game? Where’s Tony Gwynn? Rod Carew? Wade Boggs?

The irony here is people that out themselves as not understanding baseball when they don’t realize that velocity - BY ITSELF - is not an issue with elite hitters. “They just throw hard fastballs that’s all they care about!!!!” But those dudes who would actually do that don’t survive in the game to make Twitter randos fantasy rosters.

In my experience coaching youth sports: whatever I did to try and win a game - hurt development. Development is the accumulation of autonomous decisions. Decision. Action. Failure. Reflection. Adjustment. (Repeat thousands of times) Every bunt sign, steal sign, pitch call, or 3B coaching box call I made to help our team “win” transferred a decision from the athlete to me as coach. Coaches that do this definitely win more games. But I question whether athletes develop from wily coaching decisions. I will believe until proven otherwise that student-athletes develop from the agency that comes with making their own micro successes/mistakes then having a coach discuss after. Like everything - I guess it always come down to what is the purpose/goal of it all.
