Excellent information, especially on drills to keep practice fun and relevant. I would recommend to any parent or coach of 8-16 year olds playing baseball

Great for parents of youth baseball players

This is great information delivered at a pace that you can pick up the gist on the initial listen but subsequent listens will allow one to pick up additional information.

The sad part is it seems this podcast is defunct or (more optimistically) on hiatus.

Regardless if more episodes get released or not, I am grateful for the ones that are here.

Informative and entertaining

As a new manager of an 11U Little League team, I found Rob’s podcast to be insightful and entertaining. I’ve listened to close to 100 episodes so far. There have been lots of great interviews, but the lessons learned episodes are my favorites.

Great Podcast for Youth Coaches
