I make my baseball coaching debut tonight with my youngest son's team, they're 8 and 9 year olds. This could be my big chance to be that guy all of us fondly remember, the salty old coach chewing on a cigar while barking out orders!
Probably some rule about the fields being "tobacco free".
Anyways, this ought to be interesting. I've been coaching youth hockey for years now, I'm a head coach at summer camps, I coach coaches on how to coach, and I coach high level teams as well. But I honestly don't know shit about baseball. I didn't play past little league. This will be a good exercise in whether or not the skills to effectively work with kids will transfer over to another sport. I'm banking on the other coach having some actual baseball knowledge.
