Driveline Academy Youth Baseball Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The Best Podcast We've Ever Done | Season 4 Recap

Deven & Jeremy discusses the growth and evolution of the Driveline Academy baseball teams, along with reflections on both the successes and challenges in developing young baseball players. The hosts emphasize the importance of long-term development over immediate results, explaining how they focus on building athletes who can compete at a high level in the long run, rather than short-term wins. A major theme is the integration of training and competition, as well as the value of implicit learning environments over traditional, direct instruction.

They highlight stories of individual players who have stuck with the program, noting the payoff in their development, both in terms of athletic output and competitive success. Throughout, they also discuss how technology, biomechanics, and data-driven insights help shape training and improve athletes' long-term performance.

What Is The Point of Little League?

(hint: it's development and engagement)

The central topic of the episode, inspired by a listener's question, revolves around the purpose of Little League baseball. The question poses a dilemma between focusing on success, particularly in Little League All-Stars, and ensuring a fun experience for all players. The hosts delve into this discussion by arguing that Little League should serve all players but in ways that cater to their different needs. They advocate for engaging kids in the sport to encourage their continued participation and suggest that retention rates can be a measure of success. Furthermore, they emphasize the importance of skill development and providing equal opportunities for all players to learn and grow, rather than focusing solely on the few who might excel early on.

Giving Love to HS Coaches / Fundamentally Wrong Hitting Fundamentals

The boys are back in town © Thin Lizzy!

Deven and Jeremy are reunited, talking about the love that HS baseball coaches have for teaching the game, HS tryouts, the start of the LL and HS seasons and then a fun segment tearing apart the "fundamental" hitting advice given by a guy who should probably pay as much attention to the competition level of children as he does his keeping his spray tan dialed.
