I know this is probably a smaller demographic on this site but curious to see if there are any high school coaches who have taken a break from coaching to follow their son's collegiate baseball experience? My situation may be even tougher to relate to because I am a football coach. My son will be attending school in a warm weather state and like many other programs, they have a cool intrasquad world series along with open practices. He will be far enough away that I won't be able to drive but airfare is very affordable if planned in advance and I definitely want to make at least a couple of trips out in the fall and obviously in the spring as well.
It might be possible to make something work while coaching football but I would hate to tell my son that I could not come out to watch him play because of practice schedule, etc.
Thoughts from anyone who has shared a similar experience?
