There is a major balance between winning and development. Since retiring and becoming full time kid Uber driver, I’ve coached youth baseball and have watched many a girls Volleyball game. Prioritizing winning over development is something that needs to be addressed. Yes, we must always play to win, but at these ages, particularly the younger ones, winning is secondary to development. As they get older that pendulum will shift to more winning. Even when I was in the minor leagues the Brewers didn’t care if we won or not, they wanted to get us ready for the Show. With that said, no one will care about a 7U championship ring in 10 years. At the youth level we must develop first, and win second. However, teaching kids how to play the game the right way is more important than leaving your stud pitcher in to throw 100 pitches and never playing your back up players so you can keep the starters in. Or teaching your kids to be crazy baserunners because the other team is having trouble with cut offs and relays. Develop/teach first, and the the winning will come down the line.

Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others. 🧠

What makes a champion? An analysis of over 6,000 athletes found distinct differences between those who made it to world-class versus those who didn't progress from child star. Similar research has been done on one-hit wonders and Nobel Laureates. Here's what they found:
