My son’s coach pitch and first year of player pitch were stressful. I was just one of the dads that was there every practice. They had two coaches. I was just the dad that would put a glove on and help.
That quickly became being the “coach” who plays catch with the kids who are horrified of the ball. I really felt like I helped. lol one kids was huge. If he wasn’t terrified he’d be a good player. I got him to stop turning his head and started knocking down the ones he missed. I felt like Joe Torre just doing that.
It was nerve wracking as hell when one of those kids took the field.

This along with the coach that teaches a kid to actually throw a baseball are HUGE roles and can make a world of difference in a season.
