  • Great Teaching

    This is a must-listen show, especially for youth coaches. Really enjoyed the most recent episode with Joe Barth. Quick question: he mentioned “The 9 Rules of Hitting” that major league teams lean on, but that Hall of Famers often break at least one of those rules… what are the 9 rules and what rules get broken most often by HOF players?

  • Brother from another mother

    Lane has always been an amazing guy and this podcast is a great to see that. The knowledge and experience and passion he shares is amazing. I also love how vulnerable he is because that helps us as the audience relate. So I feel like baseball fan or not you can grasp something from this podcast and apply it to your life. Lane, your the man brother I’m so proud of what you have become.

  • Coaching at a level for all to understand

    These 2 coaches and the guests break down why’s

    I’ve never listened to an episode and not understood the topic by the end of it. I met coach Jimmy once in passing and was able to observe his kids at practice. He does what he says on these shows. Give it a listen you be glad you did.

Shellee Howard - College Ready
Q: What should families prioritize when planning for college as a baseball player?
Families should build a comprehensive plan that balances academics, athletics, and finances from an early age, focusing on GPA, leadership, service, and well-documented activities to leverage both admissions and scholarships.

I'm great, thanks for the intro and for having me on to share the story behind the league and my book.
