Rick Pauly returns to Transcending Sport for another fan-favorite conversation where we contrast our perspectives on softball—me as a hitting coach, Rick as a pitching coach.
In this episode, we tackle the current state of travel ball softball and ask the hard questions: Is velocity everything, or are we missing something more important? How has the transfer portal reshaped recruiting and the travel ball landscape? Why do the rich keep getting richer in travel ball, college softball, and pro sports?
We also share what you can expect from us at the upcoming NFCA Softball Convention this December in Las Vegas.
Whether you're a player, parent, or coach navigating today's softball landscape, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.
