Youth coaches and parents are faced with a difficult task: improving the performance of youth baseball players while understanding that baseball is a game of failure. Baseball can be fun, but more often than not practices are constructed around trying to reduce failure rather than maximize fun.

The cost of not solving this is high. Practices aren’t fun, performance doesn’t increase and youth athletes are left wondering if they want to keep playing at all.

Youth baseball players should be able to have fun while also knowing that they are developing the skills that will help them the most in the long-term. This course will teach you what skills to focus on and how you can orient training and practice around those skills in an entertaining and fun way.
