Coaches, stop making it about you. Let the kids play, learn and grow. Invest in them. Be better.

👂 👂 👂 In other words. It ain’t about you. Let the kids learn how to play the game. Esp the first pitch takes Seriously, if you give first pitch take you’re a dream crusher. Hitting is hella hard with three strikes let alone two. Then you’ll tell the kid they aren’t playing because they aren’t hitting even though you’ve given away the best pitch to hit.

Parents, Coaches, and Players choose your words, actions and body language wisely because we're all in the business of being difference makers! Say it often, "YTB'," You're The Best!"

Great article. Worth the read.
