10 Inconvenient Truths of Coaching 1. Not every kid wants to be great. 2. You will often be misunderstood. 3. Some parents care more about playing time than team success. 4. Your best players aren’t always your best leaders. 5. No system works without buy-in. 6. Success brings criticism, too. 7. Culture isn’t built in a week; it’s built daily. 8. You can’t coach every player the same way. 9. Wins don’t always reflect your impact. 10. The job takes more from you than it gives… until years later. Still worth every second. Still a great profession.

I coached 6 games this weekend with our 15U and 17U teams. No trash talk. No bat flips directed at opponents. No showing people up. Just players competing their tails off and respecting the game. That’s the kind of baseball I want to be around.

@ChiefShughes I did whatever it took to get to all of my son's games. Enjoy every minute of it. You'll remember the games better than he does.

A buddy of mine snapped this picture while I was watching my son play baseball last night. Honestly, it probably captures something I didn’t even realize in the moment. Like many parents, I sometimes get wrapped up in these games. I think part of it comes from knowing these moments won’t last forever. Deep down, we know we’re living through moments we’ll someday miss more than we can explain. These games become more than wins and losses. They become memories. And while I know there’s still plenty of baseball left, I also know there will come a day when I’d give just about anything to sit in a folding chair one more time and watch my kids play ball again.

One of my favorite people to talk to and pick his brain was Marcel Lachemann. Asked him one day what one of the biggest mistakes coaches make and his answer was… “Trying to attach their name to a players name.” In other words, try to claim some responsibility for a players success.

Great topic here! I was surrounded by baseball people that never wanted to take credit in anyway in reference to a players improvement or success. Now its a Tsunami of the exact opposite. Gurus posting videos of every hit or a runner thrown out. 👎

Ive now had 3 former Major League Baseball players that are friends of our family tell me a few nuggets regarding my son and his baseball endeavors: 1. Stop with “lessons”. “Stop letting coaches validate themselves by finding something to change.” 2. Let him hit, hit, hit. 3. Stop hitting off machines. They aren’t realistic. Tee, flips, BP. That’s it. 4. Let the athlete be an athlete.

@DanDicke @BaseballDudes48 @JohnnyVanBee Played a game this weekend vs a team using both an earpiece (coach calling pitches) AND wristbands with numbering system for the defense. Even my kids thought it was stupid. 14U.

@JohnnyVanBee @BaseballDudes48 @DanDicke I say “have fun” and I let players call their own pitches. But the two have nothing to do with each other. Kids can 100% be encouraged to have fun, but also still need a coach to manage the strategical aspects of the game.

@BaseballDudes48 Too many coaches coach to win, they don’t coach to coach. The dead give away is not letting catchers call pitches. I played baseball till I was 32 and a coach NEVER called any of my pitches. Ever. It’s wild to see in every single game I watch in PG.
