Today we discuss the intangible benefits, or non-baseball benefits, of travel ball. (We will save the benefits of community rec ball and little league for another day :)
We thought it would be fun to have a veteran travel ball mom join us to speak about long-term benefits she has been able to observe over a long period of time.
So today we are joined by guest Sue Wood. Sue is a mom of 4 kids, aged 18-30. Her son, Zach Olszewski (25) played both little league and travel baseball out of Bay City, Michigan. Zach O was part of the founding Saginaw Bay Riverdawgs travel baseball team at 12 years old, in or around 2009, at a time when travel baseball at the youth level was almost non-existent in Mid Michigan. He played at John Glenn High School and then moved on to play D1 baseball at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Sue brings her expertise as a veteran baseball mom to the discussion about intangible benefits of travel ball.
