• A secondary component of the evaluation process is

Parents
For what it’s worth…
• .98% of all High School Baseball players nationwide will receive some
form of Division I scholarship. Those signing a pro contract have a 5000-1
chance of becoming a 5 year major league player
• From Coaching Principles 101: "Parents are naturally more interested in
their child than the overall team" - I challenge Parents to prove that
principle wrong…
• As Parents, we tend to want to take all the pain, heartache, and sadness
out of our children's lives. Remember, these are the things that help him
become a better person.
• Studies show that by far what kids most want to hear from the parents:
"I love to watch you play." That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less.
