@CoachBeede I played in juco and will be guiding my son that route as well. One thing for certain is you find out real quick if you wanna continue to play in college. There’s no glitz or glamour and you’ll work harder than you ever have in your life that first fall.
The amount of travel coaches talking to hitters while they’re in the box is unbelievable. They have enough to think about without you coaching them between every pitch.
Sometimes you just need to let them hit.
When I was 12 years old I’d wake up on a Saturday morning, watch some cartoons and pro wrestling, go outside and throw a rubber ball off the side of the house, get the guys in the neighborhood together for Wiffle Ball, go inside for Atari and snacks, ride my bike to Dairy Queen for a Mr. Misty, listen to Casey Kasem, flip on ESPN and watch sports with no social commentary, flip it over to MTV, which showed actual music videos, go back outside for more Wiffle Ball, and then think “Hey, it’s almost 3 pm.” Living my best life and had no fucking idea how good I had it.
