Manifesto.

Over-managed and under-coached.

We see it all the time. Mostly well intentioned but nonetheless destructive: Grown adults living out their fantasy baseball dreams while trying to make a team of kids be perfect.

We have news for you. It doesn’t work that way.

AND IT ISN’T FUN. YOU’RE RUINING BASEBALL.

These are young players and what they need most from you is coaching, not micromanagement, confidence not perfectionism.

Trust us, if that player is a future professional ball player there won’t be much you had to do with it.

If that player learns something important about how to compete in the game of life, you were a success.
