Travel ball coaches, notice how they pulled her from the field and sent her to the bullpen to warm up before putting her in to pitch. 👀

Your 12U pitcher deserves a proper warm up too.

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

Don’t ever take the people who love you for granted. Give them their flowers while they can smell them and tell them how much you appreciate them.

[Kelly Riesberg @kriesberg07]

Anyone who knows @Coach_Piv knows this moment perfectly captures who she is every single day. The passion, energy, and genuine love she pours into her players and program is something special. She sets the standard, and I’m so glad the world got to see it. Proud of YOU, Piv!

This is what it’s all about. Pinch hitter Katie Hoffman with a two-run single for @SDCoyotesSB to tie the game 4-4 in the 7th.

The emotion from her and the coach saying “I’m so proud of you.”

[Nick @NickOwensnic]

Club & HS coaches take some notes! This right here is how you coach. No cliché sayings, no ramblings, no yelling at the top of your lungs, just absolute respect for the player and vice versa. This is what sports should be about! This team balled out at the end of the year!!
