And that’s exactly why I built Coach Ballgame University — a home base for coaches who want to do things differently.

This isn’t about cookie-cutter drills or screaming at kids until they “get it right.” It’s about building a coaching culture that kids love, parents respect, and you can actually enjoy.

Inside CBU, you’ll find:

  • The Playbook – the mindset, psychology, and heart of how to coach.

  • The Skills Course – how to teach baseball & softball fundamentals the right way for young players.

  • The Practice Plans – done-for-you sessions that keep kids moving, learning, and smiling.

  • Hit By Pitch – a quick-hit mini-course on handling one of the toughest moments for kids (and parents).

Each piece stands on its own. But together? They give you a complete Game Plan for coaching with confidence.

Let’s dig into each one, so you can see which game plan you need right now.

What Coaches Are Saying about The Playbook

“I'm a first time coach with little baseball experience feeling a little nervous going into our season. I couldn't be more thrilled with the boost of confidence this course gave me! This course has both incredible coaching concepts and real life baseball examples, which are sure to set up our season for enjoyment and success”.

- Andy M

"Looking for that silver bullet to turn the tides of the current state of coaching in your community? It's you. And this course prepares you to be the spark your community or program needs."

-Chrissy A.

“Coming into this course, I had already abandoned the win-at-all-cost mentality and was on board with instilling fundamentals and joy for the game. So that messaging was preaching to the choir. What I did need was some encouragement and additional practical approaches to implement that philosophy. HOLY MOLY, did this course deliver. I feel pumped and ready to coach next spring with my big 3. I want the kids to…Learn strong fundamentals; Have fun so they come back next season; and make some life long friends. Thanks Coaches. Atta Boys!”

- Mallory M.
