re: Nerves as a Coach

I used to obsess over lineups, matchups, stats, etc for the 11-12 year old rec teams I coached.
This year I was watching the games as a spectator, and I felt really silly for taking it so seriously then. It’s not that serious, and they simply aren’t very good at baseball.
This was rec ball, but even with travel ball, most of these kids don’t have a future in baseball, so it should be about making the present as enjoyable as possible.
My advice to you is to step back and realize that, while yes, you need to take it somewhat seriously (out of respect for the game and the kids and parents), in the end it’s really not worth worrying about that seriously.
