The Old School Way

 
 

“Coach, this is stupid. I don’t need to practice hitting off the tee!”


Now, I’ve been a coach nearly since the game was new – ok, not quite – but I’ve seen a thing or two.


And I’m confident saying that this generation of young ballplayers-in-training is no worse than the one before – or worse than we were back in our day.

But they do have a lot more distractions.


Posting Tiktok videos during games and responding to WhatsApp messages between pitches.


But, ultimately, kids are dealing with the same growing pains that we did once upon a time.

Struggling to embrace the fundamentals.


Like not declaring your ability but demonstrating it with good play.


Earning your place on the team by showing up early, working hard at practice, and supporting your teammates.


The old school fundamentals, right?


Learning what it means to be a ballplayer.


And this is what Old School Legends Baseball Fantasy Camp is all about. November 9-15 in Tucson, AZ.


Join us and let’s play some Old School Baseball.
