Youth Baseball Parents: Stop Talking!
from Dear San Diego Hosted by Tony Manolatos
As little league seasons kick off across San Diego we take a deep dive into youth baseball with three guests who are as committed as anyone to the sport: Jeff Rosa, Joe Lewis and Chad Starkey. Our guests shared essential advice for parents, coaches, and players, on handling nerves, failure, car rides home, “daddy ball", arm care, and much more. They also highlighted some of the ways baseball, and the love of the game, teaches kids life skills that serve them long after they’ve finished playing the game. Tune in to hear that, and learn what Tony and his guests enjoy doing with their Little League and travel ball teams when they’re not on the field.
