My first post here as well. I joined not that long ago and love reading all the posts, new and old.
My son is a 2029 who plays both baseball and football, and about to go into a super competitive High School (in all sports).
He was always the smaller kid, but grinded and finally hitting significant growth spurts. He turns 14 next week and it seems he has flipped a switch and really starting to mature in sports and where he wants to get to.
The one key thing we did maybe a year or so ago is not focus so much on the private lessons. Yes, we still see a hitting coach a few times a month, also a pitching/fielding coach maybe once a month outside of normal practice. What we replaced all that with is a speed and agility coach. It has been night and day in his athletic ability and its showing on the field. This coach is also a mentor to both my son and me. He's seen a LOT of athletes and still works with pro guys in their offseason.
This site has been a huge resource for me trying to navigate what to expect coming into the HS baseball chapter. I hope the long timers stick around to answer questions and provide guidance.
