This weekend was another whirlwind of travel basketball, but instead of letting the chaos take over, I focused on stewardship—both of my body and my boys' hearts. In this episode, I'm sharing:✅ How I stayed on track with my health by packing simple, high-protein snacks and meals on the go.✅ How I used travel ball as a discipleship opportunity—because our kids are always watching how we live out our faith, even in the busy moments.✅ Encouragement for fellow moms balancing it all and wanting to honor God in their wellness and parenting.No matter how full our schedules get, we can prioritize our health and pour into our kids spiritually. Let's chat about it!

I have been working in baseball my whole life and in youth baseball for the last 25 years or more. I have always been perplexed at the lack of desire in the vast majority of youth baseball coaches in learning how to run better practices. And it just hit me the reason why coaches shy away from learning. It only took me 25 years to figure it out. Come listen and find out. www.coachandplaybaseball.com

He's one of Coach Ballgame's best friends, and also happens to have given him his first job as a youth baseball coach. It's Dan Spring. "Springer" was a teammate of Ballgame's at Brown University before playing in the Tigers and Cardinals organizations. He's spent the last 20 years coaching over 30,000 kids in Southern California under the title of "Spring Training Baseball Academy." He is a master at using Positive Reinforcement to get the most out of his kids. He also happened to give Ballgame his nickname! What was a Rookie "Ballgame" like as a coach? How did he grow? Why do parents act crazy at sporting events? How do you coach the kid who lacks effort? How do we fix the Travel Ball culture?

Is travel ball the best route for Black kids to play baseball? It's clearly a very important part of elite youth baseball in 2023. So, what does that really mean? We know travel ball is expensive. Not every working-class family can afford the equipment, the uniforms, the tournament entry fees, the club monthly fees, and the add-on expenses for travel. Travel ball is an expensive and difficult grind for the adults, let alone the kids. But what if there was a way for kids to participate in travel ball differently? What if we can include more Black families and communities in the mix? That's what Coach Huey Hackett and the LA Crawfords are doing. Don't get it twisted; they are a travel ball team, and that includes a lot of things that come with the travel ball experience (including the travel and additional cost), but Coach Hackett is trying his best to make the experience affordable (no monthly fees) and inclusive (kids from ever walk of life). The Crawfords, located in South LA, offers year-round training, professional coaching and mentorship, and top-level baseball experience. Flobo and I (Cheats) welcomed Coach Hacket on our IG live last week to talk about his journey in leading the Crawfords and the state of youth travel ball today. It's a great conversation. Please follow the Crawfords on IG and, as always, subscribe to the Black Baseball Mixtape everywhere podcasts are available (especially Apple Podcast).

Join Wes on this episode as he interviews the hilarious Mark Paul, an influencer and digital creator. Mark discusses coaching for travel baseball teams and the drama that ensues with the kids and the parents. He started Tik Tok a few years ago at the suggestion of his then 14-year old daughter.  At first he vented about the team and posted satire about it for 6 months.  Growing up in Kentucky, he was into weight lifting and fitness, and had a good physique, but he wasn't good at baseball.  He was however a good coach because he can relate  and adapt to different types of kids and coach accordingly. Today he has 3 businesses. He is an entrepreneur making sponsorship deals, a clothing line, and designs sunglasses. Because of his gregarious personality and humor, and the fact that he can pal around with the CEOs down to the janitor, people trust him. He worked for E-commerce company in Louisville, KY. They asked him to speak  at an event in Florida. He ended up hanging out with all kinds of people including MLB players. A friend at ECommerce told him he can do these things on his own. He didn't need a corporation.This trust led him to the Dingers Agency where he recruits kids.. He helps the parents do things on their own such as create a website. This leads to him helping them down the road if the kids decide he wants to continue pursuing baseball as a career. He's not only good with the kids but with the parents as well. He encourages the parents to do what is best for their child, even if that child no longer wants to play baseball.Mark realizes that in order to stay relevant 24/7, he needs to utilize social media. He finds that he has a following with kids who play travel baseball and their parents. His satiric posts have an element to truth to them which makes them funny especially to those who live the travel baseball life. #travelbaseball #mlb #digitalcreator #influencer #coaching #baseball #business #entrepreneur #sponsorship #deals #fitness #physique #dingersagency #kids #parents #dingers agency #entrepreneur #ecommerce#mlbWebsite: mpthree.comTikTok: TikTok.com/mpthreeInstagram: instagram.com/mpthreebaseballFacebook: facebook.com/Mark PaulWebsite: westankersley.comTikTok: TikTok.com/Wes.tankersleyInstagram: instagram.com/Wes.tankersleyFacebook: facebook.com/shapingsuccessfacebook.com/Wes tankersleyCheck out our sponsor Tattooed and Successful @tattoedandsuccessfulco use code TANK at check out for a special Discount! https://tattooedandsuccessful.com/Support the showFor merchandise, podcast and youtube: westankersley.com Check out our sponsor The Warriors Collection for coffee, gear and more use code TANK at check out for a special Discount! https://warriorscollectionbrand.com/ Follow Shaping Success https://shapingsuccesspodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Email Wes@westankersley.com for guest ideas or to be on the show!
