Most baseball parents are making decisions that will define their son's future without a real plan.
Not because they don't care. Because nobody gave them a straight answer without something to sell them.
I've coached high school and travel ball at every level for over 35 years. I watched my oldest son walk away from the game. I watched my youngest son Julian bat .200 at 14 and almost do the same thing.
I recognized the moment. I knew what it required.
Julian became a three-year varsity starter and earned a full scholarship to a D1 JUCO in arguably the toughest junior college conference in the country.
Most dads never know they're in one of those moments.
This community exists so you don't have to figure it out alone.
Straight answers. No agendas. No guessing.
Know what to look for at every stage. Ask the right questions. Make the right decisions when they actually matter.
The window doesn't stay open.
