“I have been in the game 37 years, coached our USA National teams at the 16
u and professional level, Coached Independent professional baseball, started
my career at the world-famous Mickey Owen baseball school and listen to the
show all the time because I learn something new on each episode. Whether
it’s from Rob teaching from what he has learned, his experience with his
young teams or from his great guests. I am impressed with Rob’s genuine
ability in teaching coaches. He does a great job in asking questions,
challenges traditional teaching, he brings up new ideas in every podcast,
well organized, passionate and in a very short period has helped a lot of
coaches.
