CYB 107: Are the Lunatics Running the Asylum
I have known several youth baseball league presidents over the years and they all have shown to be very nice, hardworking, dedicated and the desire to provide a good experience for the kids and families that they work with. Only thing is they are nowhere close to well trained, player development people. In fact, they had little to no baseball coaching experience. Yet they are picked to continue the youth baseball format that they have been handed down. The league admin are told to just carry on the same format as always regardless if the players are 1) having fun and 2) getting enough reps to increase their baseball and athletic skills. The use of lunatic is not directed at these dedicated people who lead our organizations. Rather "lunatic" is used here more to reference to how idiodic it is to force our kids to play boring games and rarely if ever have on-field baseball practices. The people who think that is the best system we can come up with are lunatics. coachandplaybaseball.com

CYB 106: Chasing Youth Baseball Tournament Championships
One of our listeners sent this to me…"Listening to your podcast has really changed my perspective on youth baseball. I coach 11-12 year olds in rec league and in the tournaments. I was "that" coach focused on winning district tournaments. I used to think 12u was the end-all-be-all of baseball. Boy was I wrong. I'm 100% resetting this year to player development. We've had a bunch of practices and I've been using your drills and scrimmage games. Kids love the scrimmages. Our league is also going to run coach-pitch sandlot games on the weekends to give kids more playing time. Thanks, and keep up the good work!" coachandplaybaseball.com
