Rob Crews talks about:
- Why most slappers aren't actually fast—they just play against slow defenders
- The coaches who sacrifice a kid's development to win local games
- Regional differences in softball and why Northeast kids get exposed when they travel
- Why your 14U playing 18U isn't a flex—it's sad
- The honest conversation he had with an 11-year-old her first time in the cage
- Why families who can't handle the truth at 11 won't handle it at 16 either
- Players who come back years later just to take one more lesson
- How the game becomes a support system that's bigger than softball
