“I love that Deven always has an eye on the player’s long term health. I also love that it addresses the profound role that the Coach plays in the development of not only the young athlete, but most importantly, the person. This is clearly evidenced by Deven’s emphasis to love, support, and empower the kids — and if the kids feel loved, they’re more likely to love the Process of development, love playing the game of Baseball, and love who they are, on and off the baseball field.”
