Send us Fan MailBaseball can feel like it's thriving on highlight reels while quietly shrinking in the neighborhoods that used to feed high school programs every spring. We sit down with Pittsburgh coach Joe Capobianco to talk about what happens when you return to your alma mater and try to rebuild a once-proud program at Penn Hills while participation numbers fall and confidence is hard to find. The big question is simple and urgent: how do you keep kids playing when the cost of youth baseball keeps climbing and the community pipeline is no longer automatic? Joe breaks down the real difference between being an assistant coach and being the head coach, from constant communication with parents, boosters, and administrators to setting the tone for the entire culture. We talk practical solutions for a program turnaround, including creating an environment players want to show up for, finding small wins in practice, and removing barriers with team gear, fundraising, and creative support for families who cannot chase expensive travel ball schedules. If you care about high school baseball, youth sports access, and building a resilient team culture, this conversation hits home. Then we shift to in-game strategy: why Joe loves small ball, how aggressive baserunning can change an offense that doesn't get many chances, and how he thinks through high-pressure late-inning defense decisions at the high school level. We also lean into Pittsburgh baseball nostalgia, debate Roberto Clemente versus Dave Parker, talk Primanti Bros, and finish with an unbelievable story about hanging out with Pirates legend Doc Ellis during the “irate” fan walkout. Subscribe, share this with a coach who needs it, and leave a review with your best idea for keeping more kids in the game.Support the showFollow:  X | @BCUPod / IG @baseballcoachesunplugged Website - https://www.athlete1.netSponsor: The Netting Professionalshttps://www.nettingpros.com

Convos from the Couch welcomes Licensed Clinical Social Worker Cory Grad for an insightful conversation about helping students with ADHD navigate the transition back to school.

Listeners will learn practical strategies for creating routines, building supportive home and school environments, and helping students develop organization and time-management skills. The discussion also covers school accommodations such as IEPs and 504 plans, college support services, behavioral interventions, and common misconceptions that can create challenges for students with ADHD.

In this week's episode, I sit down with Farm Marketing School member Patty Kloft of Lonely Lane Farms in Oregon — a long-established, family-run operation producing grass-fed beef, pork, lamb, and goat. Patty's story is one of evolution: from a wholesale-focused farm to a thriving direct-to-consumer and retail business with more than 200 value-added meat products. We unpack how Patty scaled her farm while balancing family life, managing a USDA-certified processing facility, and developing consistent marketing systems to support a growing brand.

She shares about the importance of creating a relationship with parents and personalizing the relationship. She also shares a tool, AC-E (acknowledge, show compassion, wait and explore) that can help diffuse upregulated situations.
