Your Players Are Suffering Because of This | Tim Corbin's Reality Check

Vanderbilt's Tim Corbin, one of the most respected coaches in college baseball, shares the lesson that changed how he leads: the pressure a coach puts on a team can be the very thing that breaks it. He tells the story of 2007, the year Vanderbilt was ranked number one for weeks and expected to reach Omaha. After a painful loss to Michigan, a mentor told him something he never forgot: "I could feel the pressure you were putting on the team." The chase for the outcome was getting in the players' way. The lesson for every parent and coach: if you're only in it to win the last game, you'll drive yourself crazy. There are 300 teams, and only one wins it all. It has to be about the process and the young man's growth, not the scoreboard. Get out of their way, and they'll grow. This is one of the most important conversations I've had on this channel. — Your next step — Want an honest read on where your son stands?
