  • Enough monologuing

    Sometimes it is great, but you have to listen to a lot of complaining and psychobabble too.

    Man this episode really hit home and resonated with me. I’ve had a very similar experience with my family. I wish you guys had an academy close to Katy Texas outside of Houston. The values you guys express that are bigger than baseball is hard to find in youth sports today. Great podcast.

  • The BEST youth baseball podcast

    If you care for your kids development this is the best place to get it. The guys are super educated and have skin in the game.

    One minor critique: the audio is out of balance, I have to adjust the volume between the hosts.

  • Must listen for coaches and parents

    The information, perspective, and most importantly the heart behind this podcast makes it a must listen for anyone who cares about youth baseball. Coaches and parents will learn a ton about the game, but also be reminded that at the core of youth baseball are the kids that we love and no matter where this game takes them (or doesn’t take them) love those kids first.

Intent Is The Silver Bullet | Listener Q&A - Academy Youth Baseball Podcast EP 96 | Driveline Baseball
Q: How would you structure T-ball for a four to five year old age group?

Intent Is The Silver Bullet | Listener Q&A - Academy Youth Baseball Podcast EP 96 | Driveline Baseball
Q: How can we structure tournaments better to ensure pitchers aren't being overused?
Morgan suggests allowing a more generous strike zone at the 13u-14u level to prevent overuse by ensuring kids can be more successful on the mound, contrasting it with the stricter high school zone.

Q: What is your opinion on the kinetic arm sleeve?
Morgan shares that he has not explored the research on the kinetic arm sleeve, but he emphasizes that constraining a child's movement might reduce stress on the arm in the short term. However, he questions whether restricting movement and speed is a sustainable path to performance development.
