Dugout Therapy

There isn't enough room in this episode description to describe how great this episode was. Stu Fritz is the current ABCA President and head coach at Hope College for the last 26 years. He has led the Hope Flying Dutchman to 9 championships, the same amount of times he has won the Louisville Slugger Coaching award. The experience and knowledge discussed by Stu in this episode spills out from minute 1 to minute 45. If you want to be an influential person or mentor to your players or the kids you coach start today. Start by listening to this episode and understanding how the game is changing and what our role is as coaches to help get the best out of our players not just on the field but off.

This was recorded as everything with COVID-19 was just unfolding in the US. Justin Sherman is from the New Rochelle area, which has been greatly impacted. Justin has put his lessons and coaching on hold during this time so our country can practice social distancing and stay healthy. Instead he will be partaking in virtual lessons with his athletes, and was also able to chunk out some time with us to chat. Justin provided a much needed lens to the current state of youth baseball and how coaches can navigate working with parents, and on the flip side how parents can step in and be great parent coaches at the little league level. He often does guest speaking at little leagues to shed light on how parent coaches can help kids have fun while building structure and work ethic. Absolutely great listen with plenty of tid bits for coaches at the youth level. Get your notepads out!

A conversation about being an ultimate competitor with Maryland Hitting Coach Matt Swope. Previously the Director of Baseball Operations for 5 years and 2nd All Time in Hits in his career at Maryland. Matts practical simplicity he brings to hitting is extremely refreshing in a hitting world full of noise. The discovery work is the process, and coaches should be truly authentic to build the proper culture.
