Great thread!
I'll just say that I've probably made every mistake in the book as far as being a baseball dad. And yes we are insane. By the time my son was a Junior in HS I had finally figured it out.
The main thing i figured out , was that it is absolutely important for me to keep my mouth shut. Period.
I have absolutely no business talking to a HS baseball coach or travel ball coach about baseball stuff. And there are no exceptions to that rule. Ever.
Fundraising....yes.
Injury/ health issues....Yes.
Baseball.....NEVER.
The same rule also applies to NCAA recruiting coordinators / PG Staff / Current NCAA HC
-Baseball is none of my business. That business is between my son and the coaches
