Podcasts about little league

A little Town Meeting Day, a little Little League, a call for anyone with memories of The Orwell Orgy (the 1970s music festival that wasn't, get your head out of the gutter) to get in touch with us, and more on this month's Orwell Bugler!

What if I told you that training a new team member wasn't much different from coaching an Olympian?Bear with me for a second.When you coach your son's Little League baseball team, you're likely giving him and all his teammates one of their first introductions to the sport. That means you have to teach them every aspect of the game—from their batting technique to how to lose gracefully.That's going to be very different from the experience of a coach who's training an Olympian, someone who's already the best of the best at what they do.And yet… Olympians still need to be coached.The difference between coaching Little League and coaching Olympians (aside from the obvious age and size difference) lies in what the athletes need to be coached on.The same can be said within the context of your center. Do you see where I'm going with this? If not, keep reading.Of course, every school leader wants to hire an "Olympian"—the team member who can hold their own and exceed expectations.But hiring a top-notch employee doesn't mean that person doesn't need any training at all. In fact, falling into the trap of thinking you can leave them to their own devices is an example of neglect, and it happens all too often.This week's podcast episode is the second in a three-part series exploring the Delegation Dip and how you as a leader can respond—rather than react—to this phenomenon. This week, I'm talking about neglect, which is the sneakiest reaction to the Delegation Dip.Join me for a conversation about:What neglect is and why it happensThe signs of neglect and how it develops over timeIts effect on relationships in the workplaceHow to course correct once you've identified itTo be successful, every team member—whether closer to the Olympian or Little League end of the spectrum—needs loving guidance and support, no matter how capable they are. As a leader, it's up to you to ensure that no one gets left behind.Learn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic At Schools of Excellence we're committed to supporting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of our leaders.

The S.L.I.D.E brings you the Funky Monkeys highlighting their memories made at one of the most historic baseball fields in the history of the game, Grayson Field. Home to the Savannah Bananas now, with many greats slinging up dirt on that field years before them, Grayson Field is a must see for all who love the sport of baseball. A few of the Savannah bananas made an appearance on the show today offering some encouragement and even taking a few legendary moves from some of the Funky Monkeys to be used in some banana games soon. A surprise appearance was made by a former MLB baseball player on the 2001 World Series team during the show and Coach Aaron tried his best to use the word “drip” correctly. Coach Jenn benched him for the attempt but knowing Coach Aaron, he'll try to pull that mess again. The S.L.I.D.E. was funky, fun and had swag for days. We talked anywhere for life goals to walk out songs and you don't want to miss it.

Today on this part of the show, we get the weird story from Otis about a fish playing video games, nextdoor app nightmares Newnan, GA and the intervention with an unruly little league parent.

This Naperville transplant has a voice that likely everyone in the Champaign-Urbana area has heard. From WDWS to the University Of Illinois sports announcements, Scott is there covering games wherever he is needed for the love of sports, for the love of transmitting information and for the love of a dream that he will never let die. Listen as this broadcaster talks about pivoting from engineering and music to broadcast journalism, how being the one answering the personal questions is a lot harder than asking them, reflecting on your own life after a tragedy and ultimately having to decide what's most important: dreams vs. reality and passion vs. contentment. Scott talks about the relatable anxiety that comes with having to say "no" to an opportunity that could lead to the next big thing. Little League shenanigans and drama round out the conversation with the hopes of a quiet spring season.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, Seating and More.

When my husband coached our son’s Little League baseball team, he rewarded the players with an end-of-year party and acknowledged their improvement over the season. One of our youngest players, Dustin, approached me during the event. “Didn’t we lose the game today?” “Yes,” I said. “But we’re proud of you for doing your best.” “I know,” he said. “But we lost. Right?” I nodded. “Then why do I feel like a winner?” Dustin asked. Smiling, I said, “Because you are a winner.” Dustin had thought that losing a game meant he was a failure even when he’d done his best. As believers in Jesus, our battle is not confined to a sports field. Still, it’s often tempting to view a tough season of life as a reflection of our worth. The apostle Paul affirms the connection between our present suffering and our future glory as God’s children. Having given Himself for us, Jesus continues to work on our behalf during our ongoing battle with sin and transforms us to His likeness (Romans 8:31–32). Though we’ll all experience hardship and persecution, the Lord’s unwavering love helps us persevere (vv. 33–34). As God’s children, we may be tempted to allow struggles to define our worth. However, our ultimate victory is guaranteed. We may stumble along the way, but we will always be more than conquerors in Christ (vv. 35–39).

He has been in various roles in sports throughout his life. In his childhood he played CYO basketball and Little League baseball. In high school he played intramural softball and has also played in softball leagues in his adult life. He also coached CYO basketball in the past and nowadays helps coach his daughter's baseball league. He also had a long history as a sportswriter for a newspaper in Queens and had been the Assistant Sports Editor for St. John's University. He is the author not only of a book from two-and-a-half years ago called "Dreams Come True: Discovering God's Vision for your Life," but, more recently, a second book that just came out this past April, titled, "Batter Up: Answering the Call of Faith and Fatherhood."

Three-time Survivor star and MLB wife Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick returns to the Jack Vita Show, bringing with her a very special guest... her 11-year-old nephew Philipp LaGrossa!   Philipp's Toms River East Little League team won the New Jersey State Championship earlier this year, and came within a game of going to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Virginia. Stephenie and Jack welcome Philipp to talk some baseball, Little League and more!   Hear about what Philipp's time was like playing on ESPN, and living in the dorms with his teammates! Philipp weighs in on his favorite team, the Philadelphia Phillies, watching his aunt Stephenie compete on reality television, drinking slushies and eating popcorn and hot dogs at little league games, favorite memories from the experience, his dreams to big a professional baseball player, and much, much more! Along the way, Jack and Steph share some stories from their own youth sports careers, respectively. Philipp also makes some NFL and college football picks for the week. It's a light-hearted conversation filled with fun and lots of laughs! (0:00 - 1:20:30).   Later, on a different note, Stephenie catches us up on the latest from her life, and shares some heartfelt thoughts after the sudden passing of her brother, less than a year after the passing of another one of her brothers. Steph and Jack talk life, social media usage, sports and reflect a little bit on the past year, before entering into the holiday season. (1:20:30 - END).

I've long been a proponent of young athletes playing multiple sports. There are so many benefits to learning different skill sets, playing with different teammates, and taking mental and physical breaks from the daily grind.As summer and fall youth baseball seasons were winding down, I received a lot of questions about what to do in the off-season to help get ready for next season.I always begin my answer to this question with "take some time off" followed closely with "play another sport." And then of course we talk about lessons, strength and conditioning, family time, etc.I recently saw a Facebook post in a youth baseball group essentially downplaying the importance, or need, for playing other sports. I use this episode to refute his claims and explain why your son should be playing multiple sports in the baseball off-season.What Comes First, the Chicken or the Egg?Kids aren't just born elite athletes. Sure, there are freaks of nature that are born with more natural size, strength, speed, and agility than others, but they don't just come out of the womb ready to play in the MLB, NFL, or NBA.They are elite athletes because they played multiple sports early and often - and mostly with less structure and training than we have today.Again, and as I always say, there are exceptions. But these guys were born into families that encouraged being outside playing with balls of all sports, spent the time learning by doing, and kept their bodies moving at different speeds and in different directions for much of the year.There are  others that spent their time outside the house playing football, basketball, baseball, or any other ball that would keep them away from their unfortunate situation inside the house. Often it kept them out of trouble. And the byproduct was becoming a better athlete.What if my son doesn't want to play other sports?Why even give them the option when they're young?It's not an option at my house. I literally tell my son every year, "I don't care what you do or play, but we're going to do some activity that keeps you moving and busy."Can we just do strength and conditioning?Well, you can. But there are at least two likely issues with this.One, it's expensive. The average parent, myself included, does not have the expertise or the facilities to do this correctly. To get what you need out of it, you need to go at least 3 times per week.That's going to run you MINIMUM $100 a week.Why not pay $150 for the whole basketball season, practice or play 3 days a week, learn new skills, put them outside their comfort zone, get coached by new unfamiliar coaches, and do something different?For way less money.My opinion based on experienceBottom line, your son might actually end up a Major League Hall of Famer having only played baseball his entire life.But in reality, there's a close to zero percent chance he ends up a Major Leaguer anyways, no matter what he does.Just as high schoolers aren't equipped to determine their ultimate career path, nine year olds aren't equipped to know what's best for their athletic development.Get them experience in uncomfortable situations. Let them practice playing for coaches they don't know. Encourage them to do things they aren't really good at. Put them in a position to learn to compete in many different situations.There's very little downside to playing multiple sports, and tIf you enjoyed today's episode, please rate the podcast and leave a comment.

While the majority of 1B coaches in youth baseball tend to be spectators rather than coaches, 3B coaches in youth baseball also tend to not fulfill their responsibilities well and/or not know all their responsibilities.

The Book of Joe Podcast begins with Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon welcoming legendary musician Max Weinberg to the show.  We've been talking about 'Glue Guys' and how important they are in keeping a team together.  Max explores the importance of having chemistry in a band or team and the hurdles it can bring.  Max was inducted into the NJ Hall of Fame and discusses some of the special moments of his ceremony.  As in sports, being on stage is all about being nimble and adjusting to what's in front of you.  No matter the obstacle, Max tells us what it takes to keep the music going.  Max compares holding his drumsticks to an MLB player holding his bat and how he had to learn new grips to play more relaxed. Max takes us through his journey of trying out for Little League, auditioning for Bruce Springsteen, and being named as the leader of The Tonight Show Band.  Max reveals that Bruce is a big baseball fan and gives us a scouting report on The Boss playing shortstop!
