No I’m not interested in elite super select diamond sticks south north western world championship travel ball. We will go to our local park play for a local sponsored business and be just fine!! As was done for 50+ years before the cult formed
Our youth system is beyond broken. We’ve devalued real coaches. Kids aren’t developed, they are overtrained, burned out, forced to specialize early & pressured to win at all costs. Structural change is needed. We don’t teach the game anymore! We promote the game & it’s killing us
🚨 HEARTBREAKING
The Wooster High School sophomore baseball player went helping his team win 10-0… to fighting for his life at Akron Children’s Hospital just hours later, and passed away this morning.
Gone too soon. 🙏
Prayers for Maddox and his family.
"Stand your ground, we're going to be alright. We're going to get this right. Stand your ground. Do the right stuff."

Everybody wants discipline… until discipline gets loud. Everybody wants toughness… until toughness gets uncomfortable.
Hard coaching isn’t abuse. Hard coaching is correction. Hard coaching is standards. Hard coaching is loving a kid enough not to let him stay average.
If a coach is demanding effort, detail, toughness, and accountability bothers you… that probably says more about today’s culture than it does the coach.
Tom Izzo is asked by @outkick’s @RealDanZak about media ripping him for being too tough on players and Charles Barkley’s defense of him, gives phenomenal answer on accountability. Watch this:
Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:
"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."
If you know - you know!
But the community shows up and think the field just pops up in great job with a snap of a finger.
No one k owes the hours coaches spend on their field.
