Great content! the comments starting at 9:27 is spot on. I've been coaching girls 7-10 softball last 2 years. Being a positive influence has been the biggest thing i've done. Having families tell me how much their kids love playing the game now and can't wait to come to practice or game. Having them request you as a coach season after season is a win. When 10 of 12 players (other 2 age out) return following season when other teams have 1-4 players says a lot to me about being positive. I had a grandmother stop me leaving one night to tell me how much her granddaughter loved me and that she was thankful for me. Said I was the only positive male person this little girl has had in her 8 years of life.

BIG WIN right there! Requesting you as a coach again is the best compliment. Thanks for sharing.

We ALL want to win as coaches, but sometimes we forget it is about the kids development, enjoyment and well being. Like you guys said you sometimes have no idea what struggles some of these kids are going through and baseball needs to be their safe space to relax and get some positive encouragement. Not to mention happy, loose kids play better, play longer and investment in the game and themselves.
