    Chuck Box - Jackson Academy

    Today's guest is Chuck Box — Head Baseball Coach and Associate Athletic Director at Jackson Academy — and this conversation is absolutely loaded.  He has spent 34 years in baseball. And Coach Box still believes the game is about much more than wins and championships. Chuck has coached at nearly every level of amateur baseball—from high school and junior college to Texas A&M and the University of Texas—and his perspective on coaching, development, culture and relationships is one worth hearing.

    Mark "Lunch" McKenzie - USA Baseball

    What do you do when you sit down with someone who has spent more than five decades teaching the game of baseball? You listen.  My latest guest is Mark “Lunch” McKenzie — one of the most respected and experienced coaches in the game, with more than five decades dedicated to teaching, developing players and giving back to baseball.  Longtime coach at Concordia University–St. Paul, USA Baseball coach, teacher, mentor, and one of the greatest baseball minds you’ll ever hear. And this conversation went far beyond wins, hitting mechanics, and championships. Listen. Learn. And maybe look at player development a little differently when it’s over.

    Brett Ratcliffe - Trine University

    This week, I’m joined by Brett Ratcliffe, Head Baseball Coach at Trine University, for a conversation that goes far beyond wins, losses and recruiting. With more than 30 years in coaching and experience at the high school, college and USA Baseball levels, Coach Ratcliffe has seen player development from just about every angle. Why fundamentals are still lacking when players reach college Why development is a process — and why you can’t skip steps What college coaches are REALLY looking for in recruits Why players need to earn opportunities Building a culture of “WE instead of ME” What his USA Baseball experience taught him about identifying elite players Stories about future MLB stars — including a young Freddie Freeman And why, after more than 30 years of coaching, so much of what he believes still traces back to learning the game from his dad.  This was one of those conversations where an hour went by incredibly fast.

    Shellee Howard - College Ready

    Every high school baseball player dreams of playing at the next level…And a lot of families believe baseball will pay for college. The truth?

She’s helped families navigate the process the RIGHT way.  Don’t just chase a roster spot — build a plan that sets you up for life.
