-
- Baseball
This episode we interviewed Lale Esquivel, coach of the Texas Canes Elite. His 12u team went 101-0 for their 2020 season. They also:
Won 5 USSSA Super NITs, including 2 at 13u AAA level
Won the 2020 12u USSSA Wilson DeMarini Elite World Series
Won the 2020 12u Perfect Game National World Series
Ranked #1 Team in Nation by USSSA and TravelBall Select (and probably everyone else)
Here are a few questions we asked Lale:
How did they manage not to lose a single game? 2. How many players and pitchers on the 2020 team?
Typical speed they pitch at? Any protocol for pitching ? (# of pitches per game/day/week) 3. Where do your players come from?
4. What is turnover like from year to year? Do kids continue at this pace or get burned out?
5. Talk about player size/early maturity as a factor?
6. What does their season look like?
7. Are the kids being recruited yet?
8. How do the kids get to be so mentally tough?
