A 13-year-old throwing 46 pitches on Saturday and then coming back to throw 97 more on Sunday? No one has a "RUBBER ARM," regardless of what "adults" think! In March, in the Southwest, all under the banner of "travel ball fun"? That's not development. That's reckless. Any coach who green-lights that workload on a kid that age has no business leading young pitchers ever again, at any level. Period. We don't need another committee to debate guidelines or form a task force. We need immediate, real change: strict enforcement of sensible pitch limits, mandatory rest, and coaches who actually prioritize arm health over wins or showcase stats. I've seen too many promising athletes sidelined for life because adults put "exposure" ahead of their future. Enough. Protect these boys. Their arms aren't indestructible. @Pitchsafe_co @ArmoredHeat @bsblbluebook @TylerBeede @mtabor22

I texted a coach this morning and asked how the new job was going after about a month.

His response was one I’ve heard many times… and lived myself:

“Not bad. Some kids pushing back culture wise. Always worried about staff and numbers.”

If you go into a program and start making the changes that need to be made, be ready for pushback.

That’s normal.

My advice to him:

Water the good grass.
Don’t let the weeds hold you hostage.

Too many coaches start looking the other way because they want to keep players and coaches happy.
They convince themselves they can slowly change the culture.

It doesn’t work that way. Culture doesn’t drift in the right direction. It moves toward the standard you enforce.

Stay strong to your principles.
The right grass will grow. 🌱🏈
