CoachTraub Showcase Camp on 6/25 at Eastfield

Who cares.... PD I thought you did not allow personal promotions on this site. All this guy is trying to do is drum up business. Please stop it.

Coach -- please move your post to the Camps/Showcases/Tryouts topic. It's fine there -- that's why the topic was started and pinned at the top of the Forum. Thanks!

Newscout -- seems like this opportunity could benefit many area players. We'll keep an eye on the free advertising thing. Thanks!

I see nothing wrong with Coach T's post. I find it no different than Metro scout league posting information, Dallas Cubs posting tryouts information, or anyone else trying to give out information. Like we have never seen a bat company advertise their website or other sports company hoc-ing thier goods. Have you become the censorship monitor and you don't like it so remove it. I say if you don't like it, don't read it.

Its ok Ed.......he didnt mention ant tryout fee so he cant get chastised.

Free advertising for websites and businesses is discouraged for obvious reasons -- see the topic on the cost of running this site. But I agree that this is like many of the other topics involving opportunities for area kids --- whether it be tryouts (free or otherwise), showcases, etc. There is however a topic dedicated to the subject -- pinned to the top of the list. It would be best if everyone used that area.

Promoting websites, goods and services, etc. for free will continue to be monitored as best we can. Sometimes it's a fine line. And remember, the moderator's paychecks ain't that grand. The ads you see on the site are not free.

Thats the PD I know.....lol

I can't be controversial 100% of the time, JAFO.

How about 5% ?

I agree with Ed Sir, what harm has been done?

I was a bit annoyed and wrote most of this, then my wife decided to go ahead and give birth yesterday to Ariel and Carissa (both fine so far, in NICU - 9.5 wks early - prayers appreciated).

This site is supposed to promote hs baseball, and my business is supposed to promote hs baseball. Why wouldn’t I use this site to share information (advertise) about opportunities I’m working hard to provide? You tell me, Newscout, is there another one-day camp out there that will give each high school baseball player a pro-style tryout, a max 9-1 camper-coach ratio, mental skills training, hitting instruction, primary position instruction, a scrimmage with a guarantee of 2ABs for each hitter and 5 BF for each pitcher, and written objective and subjective feedback? And do it in front of a DI, NAIA, DIII, and JuCo coach, each from successful programs where I would be comfortable sending my son… for the low price I'm charging???

My job is to add value to people’s sport experience. Sometimes I get paid for that. Is that a bad thing? Obviously, I don’t think so. If you do, then don’t go to my camps. If you don’t like my posts, please don’t read them! I’m so confident that there are parents out there that want this information, will attend camp, and be glad that they did that I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on this camp and every event I ever do.

CT,
Don't let NewScout get ya down. You've got 2 little ones that need your focus and positive thoughts right now. Some people just have to be negative. Looking forward to pics of the little ones!

Prayers sent for a speedy homecoming by everyone!

Congrats CT, Now your real mental skills will be put to work. Glad to hear the family is doing well.
Good luck as you now have your hands full.

As a father of NICU twins, my girls were born at 25 weeks weighing 1 lb. 15 oz. and 1 lb. 11 oz., these are stressful times for Coach Traub. Everyone needs to be in prayer for his children, his wife and for him.

Coach Traub -

Congratulations on the birth of your twins, our family is praying for Ariel and Carissa, and for you and Mrs. Traub!

Yes, prayers of comfort and support to the entire Traub clan!

God's blessings on your entire family. Congratulations!

It will take a while to get to know your job as the daddy of two girls, but it will be so easy to love your job! Many prayers and and postive thoughts. Fifteen years later, our NICU baby is 6'1-180#. The NICU staff will take good care of your family.

Coach, Prayers go out you and Mrs. Traub for both Ariel and Carissa. Hopefully you will bringing them to the ball park very soon.

I just wanted to add, my older son played for coach in college and my younger son attended his camp last year, both experiences were very positive. There are very few people I have met in baseball that put more time or effort into what they do to support player development in the Metroplex.

Last Fall my son's HS baseball team held an on-campus mental skills classroom session with Coach T (parents and family members were encouraged to attend.) We all found it helpful, insightful, and entertaining.

He seems to be a genuine baseball guy trying to promote player skills development. What is so wrong with him posting here in an efort to make a buck doing what he loves with honesty and integrity?

I understand there are rules, but hey, we've all been beaten down with P1's constant recruiting barrage (no offense P1) for his son's "paid" club team. Coach T has been a positive contributor and yes self-promoter, but goodness it's not like he's selling Cr*ck.

Oh and by the way, Newscout, if you are so concerned about he efficacy of the site, hope to see your donation come across soon!

Thanks to all. Ariel and Carissa are doing well so far, infection free and growing. After losing weight initially (normal), they're both over 3 pounds today. Nicole, my wife, is home and recovering nicely. The girls have many tubes and did the anti-jaundice light for a few days, but the NICU staff is fantastic. Still, we can't wait to get them home.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like they're in excellent care. Prayers continue.

CoachTraub

Congrats on the birth of your twins and I will be praying that they are home soon with you and your wife.

On a side note, CoachTraub is one of the nicest, most genuine guys you will meet. He loves the game, he knows the game and he will help boys that want to play past baseball find the "way" to continue the game. If you get a chance to attend his seminar, as a parent, you will come out of it with as much or more as your son does. He is one of the "good" guys in this game.

Coach Traub is the reason that my high school team was ranked as high as 4th in the state in 4A at one point, if you aspire to be a ballplayer at the high school level or beyond, I would seriously consider sending them to a Coach Traub-ran-camp. It was one of the most helpful experiences that I have been apart of. The walk through the mental approach of the game is something that I had never heard before, "grip it and rip it baby" used to be my thoughts stepping into the box. NO. Coach Traub has great stories/advice for every position you can get yourself into out on the field. THANK YOU COACH TRAUB, YOU TRULY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY PERFORMANCE THIS PAST YEAR! And good luck with the young-ens.

Wow, Dawg10... Thanks. I'm so glad I could help, but I was clearly not the reason for your success, or your team's. I provide ideas, and information isn't power, information combined with action is power. Obviously, you made adjustments and took actions that enhanced your performance, and you deserve all the credit for that.

My wife loves this thread of course. She's doing great, and said this last post sounded fake...too good to be true. I have no clue who Dawg10 is (I hope you'll PM me, because I'm certainly curious). I had the pleasure of working closely with two elite 4A teams this year. All credit for their success goes to their coaches for all their work (and wanting a small assist from me), and of course to the players.

By the way, my next showcase camp is coming up: July 16 at Northwood University, with Head Coaches from Northwood and Eastfield, and recruiting coordinators from UTD and Central Arkansas. I am also opening up my softball mental skills training camp to baseball players. CoachTraub.com

Thanks, everyone. Have a wonderful day - I will because I get to go back to the hospital and see those angels. Twice. They're healthy and growing!
