hey guys Chris Sloane here with bad
baseball and selecting baseball teams
dot-com
if you're new to the channel thanks for
checking us out be sure to hit the
subscribe button down below so you can
come back each week and see what we talk
about all right so today I wanted to
talk a little bit about building the
travel team what it takes to put a team
together and just some of the things
that you need to kind of get going it's
something that's you know I've been a
part of them been involved with for a
long time so this this for me is is
really kind of some first steps for you
and things that I think that are very
important to to getting started down
that road so I'm really talking about
three points today there's obviously a
ton of time that we could spend and
maybe I'll do some other episodes and
talk about a little bit more in depth
but for today's episode we're just going
to hit those three items number one
first and foremost find a mentor what I
mean by that is find someone who has
started a team before has been through
the process has ran a team for a while
maybe they're not doing it now but they
have at least done before find someone
that you can talk to ask questions get
feedback from regularly and really just
establish a relationship with them long
term to help you know kind of what
things to expect and then just answer
questions and get you know some ideas on
how to answer deal with parents deal
with players deal with you know
situations that you might come across so
finding someone that's got that
experience and has been there before
it's gonna be really important as you
take those first steps in getting and
getting better at what you do right so
so find someone out there that you trust
that you know has been there and really
kind of you know established that
relationship with them so you guys can
communicate and collaborate sure you're
going to be
different teams and that sort of thing
but at the end of the day you're both
still trying to do the same thing which
is influence young men and women help
them be better people and you know help
them to grow in a sport that you
probably love so first and foremost find
a mentor and you know keep them close to
you number two set goals and
expectations for for that I'm simply
saying that it's important to know where
you want to go with your organization
and your team to really be able to track
progress and know how your team is
progressing and the things that you know
are the things that you're doing working
and that sort of thing and and goals can
really vary from age and from the groups
that you're working with essentially you
know your your set of goals may be hey
win one game then your next set is win a
tournament you know or make it to a
world series and place in the World
Series you know as you get older and
progress with high school age players
maybe it's helped your players are in a
position on their high school team or as
they even get beyond that maybe it's
helped them to earn a position at a
college or university so the goals for
your organization are going to help
define the direction that you take so
it's important to have established where
you're going from the the beginning
otherwise you're just really you know
you're just playing baseball and kids
can get that anywhere right so if you
really say hey here's who we are as an
organization and here's what we want to
do you're gonna be much more apt to help
them get to the position that they need
to go and where you want to go number
three the last and my favorite is head
over to select baseball teams dot-com
