Your son's dream deserves more than “let's see what happens.” ⚾

What if your 12-year-old tells you he wants to play Division I college baseball?

Do you tell him he's too young?

Do you tell him not to get ahead of himself?

Or do you help him figure out how to get there?

When my son was 12, he told me:

“Dad, I want to play Division I baseball. I want to play in the SEC.”

He was a chubby kid with slow feet, growing up in central Pennsylvania. Nobody around us had played in the SEC.

But I wasn't going to steal his dream.

I told him, “Let's go!”

Here's why.

He had the dream. But at 12 years old, he didn't know how to build a plan to achieve it.

That's where I came in.

As a parent, I had experience setting goals, executing plans, staying focused, and adjusting when things didn't go as expected.

I could give him the guidance he needed to start working toward his goal.

And that's the message I want every baseball parent to understand.

Your job isn't to decide how big your child's dream should be. It's to help him understand what it takes to pursue it.

If your son genuinely wants to play college baseball, don't leave him guessing.

Help him develop his skills.

Build his athleticism.

Teach him discipline and accountability.

Find people who understand the process and can guide him along the way.

Because a big dream without a plan is just a wish.

But a young player's dream combined with the right guidance, consistent work, and a development plan can create real opportunities.

Don't promise him the outcome.

Give him the tools to pursue it.

Yes, we are preparing young players for a “job interview.” ⚾

And no, I'm not talking about a real job interview.

I'm talking about an important moment in a young player's baseball career.

Around 15 or 16 years old, if he wants to play college baseball, he's going to start getting more serious attention from college coaches.

That's the moment I'm talking about.

And here's the point:

The players who have been preparing for that moment for years have a huge advantage.

They've had guidance.

They've developed their skills.

They've built athleticism.

They've learned how to compete.

They've developed their baseball IQ.

They've learned how to carry themselves.

They've been working toward a goal long before college coaches started watching.

Now compare that to the player who shows up at 15 or 16 and says:

“I hope this works out.”

Why would you expect that player to beat out kids who have been preparing for years?

That's not how development works.

You don't wait until the opportunity arrives to start getting ready for it.

You prepare before the opportunity comes.

That's why I talk so much about developing young players at 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 years old.

Not because they need to live like college athletes.

Because they need time to build the foundation.

When the recruiting window opens, you don't want your player wondering if he's ready.

You want him to know he's ready.

Start early.

Develop intentionally.

Be ready when your moment comes.

What could 9 months of focused development do for a young athlete?⚾💪

I recently asked one of my young clients a simple question:

“You're 15 or 16 years old. How much muscle do you think you can realistically gain in nine months?”

His answer?

**“I have no idea, Coach.”**

And that's okay.

But I didn't give him the answer.

I gave him an assignment.

**Go research it.**

Come back next week and tell me what a reasonable goal is for a young athlete.

Why?

Because I don't just want to give kids information.

**I want to teach them how to learn.**

Let's say, for example, the goal was one pound of muscle per week.

That's an aggressive goal, and what's appropriate varies by the athlete, training age, nutrition, and individual circumstances.

But let's use it to understand the power of a long-term plan.

Nine months is roughly 36 weeks.

36 weeks × 1 pound = **36 pounds.**

A 160-pound athlete could potentially be looking at a completely different version of himself.

Bigger.

Stronger.

More athletic.

More confident.

And potentially more noticeable to college coaches.

That's the power of thinking beyond today.

Young athletes don't need to wake up tomorrow and become a completely different player.

They need to understand:

**What can I become if I consistently work toward a goal for the next 9 months?**

That's development.

Set the goal.

Do the research.

Build the plan.

Put in the work.

Then let time do its job.

Developing young players shouldn't steal their joy. It should create more of it. ⚾

I work with young players because I love it.

And let me be very clear:

I'm not trying to take the fun out of baseball.

I'm trying to bring more joy to the game through development.

The things we do with young players are fun.

They're learning mindset.

They're developing athleticism.

They're competing in challenges.

They're playing games.

They're learning new skills.

They're getting better.

And they're having a blast while doing it.

Some people see the word “development” and immediately assume we're putting unnecessary pressure on young kids.

That's not what I'm talking about.

You can develop a young athlete without making baseball feel like a job.

You can teach discipline while having fun.

You can build athleticism through games.

You can develop a strong mindset through challenges.

You can prepare kids for their future while still letting them enjoy being kids.

That's the whole point.

And here's why I believe starting early matters:

Most young players will never reach college baseball.

So if your child wants that opportunity, you can't assume it will just happen.

Development matters.

But development doesn't have to mean pressure.

It can mean fun, challenges, confidence, growth, and a love for the game.

That's what I want for young players.

Not less joy.

More joy. More development. More opportunity.

“Job interview” doesn't mean an actual job interview. ⚾

I've talked about young players preparing for their future “job interview,” and apparently, some people took that literally.

So let me clarify.

I'm using job interview as a metaphor.

If your son wants to play college baseball, there will eventually be opportunities for him to play in front of college coaches.

That's the “job interview.”

College coaches are evaluating players.

They're watching how they perform.

They're looking at their skills, athletic ability, baseball IQ, competitiveness, and how they carry themselves.

And ultimately, they're deciding:

“Is this a player who fits what we're looking for?”

That's why I talk so much about developing young players early.

If you're 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 years old, you don't wait until you're standing in front of college coaches to start preparing.

You build the foundation now.

Develop the skills.

Learn how to compete.

Build good habits.

Learn how to be a great teammate.

Develop your baseball IQ.

Build the mindset you'll need when the opportunity finally arrives.

Because when that “job interview” comes, you don't want to start preparing.

You want to be ready.

The goal is to give your son the best possible foundation so that when college coaches are watching, he has something worth noticing.

Want to stand out as a baseball player? Be willing to look different. ⚾

If you're the kid who hustles down to first every single time, some players might make fun of you.

They might tell you that you're trying too hard.

They might ask why you're running so hard on a routine play.

Do it anyway.

I used to tell my son something simple:

When other kids make fun of you for out-hustling them, that's a sign you're doing something right.

They're uncomfortable because you're making them look slow.

You're making them look like they don't care as much.

And that's okay.

Because the players who matter are watching.

College coaches aren't looking for the kid trying to fit in with everyone else.

They're looking for players who compete.

Players who hustle.

Players who pay attention to the details.

Players who do the right things even when nobody else is doing them.

So don't avoid doing something the right way because you're worried your teammates might think you look weird.

Be willing to be different.

Be willing to stand out.

Be willing to do the things most players aren't willing to do.

Because if you want to separate yourself from everyone else, you can't always act like everyone else.

The little things aren't negotiable.

Play the game the right way.

Hustle.

Compete.

And let people notice.

Travel baseball should be about more than winning. ⚾

I believe travel baseball should be development-minded.

It should be about coaches who understand that the scoreboard isn't the only measure of success.

Yes, we're going to compete.

Yes, we're going to give everything we have to win.

The effort to win matters.

But what happens beyond the scoreboard matters too.

We're going to:

• Get better
• Learn the game
• Develop our skills
• Become great teammates
• Learn how to handle adversity
• Play with energy and passion
• Have fun

I want our games to look like backyard baseball.

Kids playing hard.

Kids competing.

Kids laughing.

Kids learning.

Kids making memories they're going to talk about years from now.

That's what travel baseball should be.

Not adults chasing trophies for their own ego.

Not kids afraid to make mistakes.

Not winning at the expense of development.

Develop the player. Build the person. Compete like crazy. Have fun.

That's the kind of travel baseball I believe in.

Why do you coach? ⚾

If I asked you that question, what would your answer be?

For me, it's simple.

I love baseball.

I love kids.

I love teaching the game.

I love watching young players get better and helping them reach their goals.

I want to see kids earn the opportunity to play at the next level, and I want to help prepare them for that opportunity.

But baseball is about more than baseball.

I want to teach life skills through the game.

I want to have a positive impact.

I want to be a mentor and a role model for young men.

Even the way I coach matters.

I don't use profanity because I believe I should control what comes out of my mouth. And for me personally, I want the way I live and coach to honor my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

That's why I coach.

So if you're thinking about coaching with me, don't just copy and paste my answer.

I want to know YOUR why.

What do you love about coaching?

What do you want to teach?

What kind of impact do you want to have on young players?

Because great coaches aren't just teaching baseball.

They're helping shape young people.

And authenticity matters.
