If you’re a volunteer coach, you are the heartbeat of youth sports. You show up after work. You give up weekends. You juggle family, careers, and long days—just to give kids a place to grow, learn, and belong. What you do matters more than you probably hear. And let’s be real: volunteer coaching isn’t always easy. You’re planning practices on the fly. You’re managing group texts, parents, and schedules. You’re trying to teach fundamentals while still making the game fun. You’re learning as you go—often without much guidance. This space is for you. Let’s help each other by sharing what truly works: "What is your best time-saving tip for practice planning or team communication?" Apps, routines, templates, shortcuts—anything that saves time and reduces stress. "How do you balance teaching skills with keeping the game fun for kids?" What’s helped you keep players smiling while still improving? "What’s one thing you wish you had known before stepping into a volunteer coaching role?" Something you learned the hard way that could help the next coach avoid burnout or frustration. If you’re new to coaching, this is your place to ask questions—no judgment. If you’re a veteran volunteer, your experience is gold. Share your wins. Share your struggles. Share what you’ve learned when things didn’t go as planned. This community grows stronger when volunteer coaches are supported, not stretched thin. Let’s crowdsource the best habits, tools, encouragement, and wisdom so no coach feels like they’re figuring it out alone. New volunteers—ask anything. Experienced coaches—what would you tell your rookie self? Drop your thoughts below and let’s build this together.

As coaches, it’s easy to get caught up in the scoreboard.The win totals. The trophies. The championship photos on the wall. And don’t get me wrong — winning feels good. It matters. But if we’re not careful, it can become the only thing we measure. And that’s a mistake. I was reminded of this while thinking about my wife — she’s been a teacher for over 24 years. And over those years, she’s been invited to baby showers, graduations, weddings, funerals, and birthday parties. Not just by students... but by families who saw her as a life-changing influence in their child’s story. Not because she was the best math or reading teacher in the building (even though she is). But because she showed up. She listened. She cared. She saw her students as people first — not test scores. And that’s what we’re called to do as coaches, too. Sure, we teach mechanics. Build game plans. Study film. But what sticks with our players years later isn’t how well they hit the cutoff or whether we finished .500. It's whether we made them feel like they mattered. It's whether we helped them believe they could do hard things. It’s whether we taught them how to win at something bigger than just sports. That’s why I coach. For the relationships. For the growth. For the chance to be part of someone’s story — long after the last game is played. Now I want to hear from you. Why do you coach? What’s your real why — beyond the scoreboard? Drop a comment below. Whether you’ve been doing this for 20+ years or just got started, your story matters here. Let’s remind each other why we do what we do. —Coach JTPack Baseball & Softball Academy
