Off season is made to see who can work in tuff times. Little league, select ball, rings, trophies, come so easy. Young kids don’t know what failure looks like. Let kids struggle its ok

Interestingly enough there is a large portion of former players that push back hard against this stuff. I’m of the belief that the game will come back around some from where it currently is. At least on the development side. One thing about data is that it’s doesn’t lie. You can only cover it up for so long before you get exposed. Coaches and parents, if you want your player to get ahead in the game, and have a leg up as he advances, do these things 👇 1. Find a hitting coach that preaches hard contact and coverage to all parts of the field. Line drives! Your son should despise striking out as well! 2. Find a pitching coach that helps develop your son’s ability to throw STRIKES along with stuff. Velo and stuff is important, but it doesn’t mean anything unless you are over the plate. FB command and off-speed command are huge. Throw STRIKES! 3. Don’t let your kid be a “Tik-Tok” baseball player. He’s there to win and compete, not to dance and pimp homers down 7-1 in the 8th. Real winners hate losing. 4. If you want your kid to be special, then he needs to be different. Being different means he acts different, he works different, and he competes different. My dad used to say this: “Separate yourself from other players in a good way.” If you want to be noticed by scouts or coaches, separate yourself from others in a good way. Hustle, encourage, and finally, COMPETE WITH ENERGY, not arrogance.

1,2,3 inning in his major league debut! Not a bad guy to get for your first career strikeout! @BackhusKyle

Couldn’t be more proud of you KB! There isn’t a more deserving person out there! See you in Arizona tomorrow! @BackhusKyle

Not joking when I say this, but the best thing he can do is play well. It really is as simple as that. There are not many secrets out there anymore. If a player is good, coaches will find him. Then the player needs to perform when the coach sees him. That is how it works. YOU CAN’T FORCE THE PROCESS. I tell that to parents all the time.

The crowd after Corey Seager's home run... chills

Last year, my daughter got cut from her 7th grade volleyball team. She made the first cut, and thought she had a good chance. But on the second and final cut, they called her name, and she put her head down and walked out to the car where her mom and I were waiting. She opened the car door, sat down, and started bawling. It was so hard to watch. She wanted to be on that team more than anything. I thought she was good enough, but the coach didn't. My heart went out to her. But we didn't sugarcoat things for her. We told her we understood how much it stings. I've been cut before. Her mom had been cut from sports before, too. It's an ego shot and a gut punch. We told her to go ask the coach what she could work on for next year. The coach gave her good feedback. And told her she was the "first girl cut". Which sounded promising, but only added to the sting. She said to me, "If only I had been a little bit better and made a few more serves..." We told her she had a few choices. She could let this be the end. Or she could use this as fuel and fire. And to use it as motivation to work hard to make the team next year. For a solid year, she practiced 4-5 times per week minimum. She went to every camp, every practice session she could find, found a travel team she could play on, and spent her entire summer at camps, practices, or in our backyard smashing the volleyball against our house (and denting our siding lol). She had her tryouts this week. In the first tryout, she unleashed her new jump serve and hit 20 straight volleyballs over the net. The coaches were stunned. She said all the coaches came up to her immediately in the first 5 minutes with their clipboards and said, "What's your name?" They started using her as a demonstrator, saying "Hey, Brooklyn, can you show everyone how to do this?" Even over the returning starters. I asked her how she did when she got back. "Hey, you've been around a lot of volleyball in the last year. How did you do? Were you in the upper half of the players?" She's a humble girl. And she proudly said, "I was the best player on the court." She made the team, obviously. I'm beaming as a father this week. I told her how proud I was of her. But not just because she made the team, or she's a great player now. But because she didn't give up. She didn't cry about it (after that first day). She didn't ask mom and dad to go lobby for her to be on the team. She got after it and worked hard for a full year, taking no breaks. Her other volleyball friends were for sure taking it easier. Chilling out and vibing during the summer. She was attending camps and practicing and getting better while they were relaxing. Sometimes as a parent, you hope you're teaching your kids how to do things. But this was a case where she taught me how to do things. 100%.
