Your End of the Season Evaluation

Put It In Writing
If you're a coach, do not assume that your parents and players understand your rules and expectations. And don't assume that all of your expectations are reasonable. Put them in writing and make sure they read those rules before joining your team. You'll thank me later.

Customer Reviews
Love the podcast
This podcast is a great compilation of topics that can help many navigate to intense world of Youth Baseball. The logical and thoughtful (possibly controversial) ideas put fourth by Jon Loomer really help to simplify the game and process. I think there is a little something everyone can take away from this podcast. Coaches, parents and kids alike.
Finally!
I have always used your site as a go to for my coaching materials. Thank you for all that you do. Can’t wait to see the topics.
I would love to hear more about what metrics you use the most for your team. Also, how do you bring these up to the kids without them over analyzing everything?
Thanks
Nick
