21 – Youth Baseball Fun with Coach Josh Hickle

Coach Josh, based in Bakersfield, California, is a dedicated mentor with extensive experience in the travel ball culture. He believes that travel ball can be beneficial for kids to stay connected outside of school and face better competition with the right coaching. However, Josh is concerned about the current trend of prioritizing winning over development, leading to player burnout and neglect of health and proper training. Emphasizing the importance of character, coachability, and a balanced approach to sports participation, Josh continues to advocate for a supportive environment that fosters both the skills and love for the sport in young athletes.
