    Very frustrating to listen to
    The flow of the discussion sounds like a bad tick tok video, without video… good content, but very annoying recording style, seizure inducing.

    A must for the parent/coach
    I have been a listener for the last two years and went back and caught up on the episodes before I started listening. I have coached my boys in several sports throughout the years and Coach Bo gets it. He understands the importance of kids having fun in sports. A great way for them to have fun is to be competitive. I make my practices centered around competition and the kids moving from drill to drill. I also make my practices harder than games and limit the amount of coaching in games so they can focus and have fun. My kids have a love for sports and I believe this podcast has helped influence that. There are also a lot of leadership lessons that I use when leading my crew at the fire department. This podcast is full of useful information for any parent or coach. Thank you Coach Bo.
  • Baseball as Life
    Every week for FIVE years I have loved and learned from Coach Bo.
    As a coach and high school teacher I keep being reminded that kids are not just little adults. I have learned from Coach Bo how to think and teach age appropriate. The success rate is greater. Their love of the game grows!! This is not a one-trick pony approach. Baseball, like life, is nuanced and always ALWAYS being prepared creates success. Coach Bo had a winning strategy that I works; more than just W-L stats but kids win in their love of the game. Coaches win because the joy of a sport well played.

    Great youth baseball coaching podcast without ads!
    This is a great podcast for anyone involved with youth baseball. Coach Bo is great to listen to and his interviews are awesome. You can tell he does this to help us coaches instead of trying to make money. No ads! Thanks coach Bo!

    Best youth sports podcast I’ve found
    Great content for youth coaches and parents. Can get a bit repetitive if you are binging on the large back catalog, but nothing that’s too bothersome. Although focused to baseball, most of the content would be applicable to other youth coaches as well.

    A must listen for little league
    If you are a parent, coach or both, this is a weekly must listen. Coach Bo pumps out fresh topics and thoughts. Listen once and you will see!

    Solid Gold - this Masterclass is a must!
    Coach Bo is on point with his baseball wisdom, each week providing helpful nuggets of information to help coaches, players, and parents better understand and breakdown the game and all of its life lessons. I have found his message to be both inspiring and motivational, and there is no doubt this podcast has help me become a better coach and parent. I love how he pulls from various sources, giving others credit, and adding his own creative spin to make it relatable to youth baseball. A good example of this was his rendition of the seven habits of highly effective baseball players. I’ve had long road trips and binged 8 hours of straight content and the entire time I felt engaged and like I had a front row seat to his masterclass. 200 episodes in and I still get excited to listen to new content. Every little league across the country should have the 80/20 podcast as a go-to-reference in their library. Keep up the great work!

    Really picks up after episode 50
    Really picks up after episode 50. I’m about 100 episodes deep and had to add another star. Bo repeats himself a little more than I like but it’s not intolerable. Keep up the good work.
  • PastorChip
    Exactly what I needed!!
    The only youth baseball podcast you need! Coach Bo has a wealth of knowledge, and does a great job of giving us busy dads what we need to be most effective
  • NALCU
    Game changer!!
    I’m a new listener and have enjoyed the message. My kids are new to baseball (12u & 10u) and the podcast has opened my eyes to so many things. Keep up the good work and I appreciate the amount of effort you put into your content.

    Good content, but over edited
    Content is good but removing all the natural pauses of normal conversation make it hard to listen to.

    Great Youth Baseball content
    I’ve been listening for almost 2yrs now and Coach Bo does a great job bringing fresh knowledge, tips, strategies and ideas to the youth baseball community. Thanks Coach and keep up the great work!
  • 9U Mom
    Motivating and helpful info
    I’m not a coach, but am a mom of a 9 year old baseball player. I was in search of something I could listen to help him with mindset/mental toughness. Also something that he could listen to from time to time. He gets a lot of directives about the technical side of baseball, but not too much on the mental side. Hoping to improve that and this is a great tool. I can’t quit listening to these and have gained a better understanding of the game and found ways to be more supportive while my son plays!

    Great podcast!
    This podcast has helped me tremendously in coaching my own kids as well as others.

    Thank you! Inviting, insight listen for new coach
    Coach Bo, binged 40 episodes in the last 3 weeks as I started as a fresh coach for my son's 8U Fall Ball: phenomenal! You helped turn my rag tag team into baseball players... in 3 weeks! We went from mostly newbies who defensively got 2 outs from 37 at bats amidst tons of confusion
  • Redoak15
    Like a check up
    I’ve been a head coach on every level from college down to T-ball over the last 37 years. I have enjoy listening as it helps refresh or simply state something a little differently from how I have said it in the past. I believe you cannot continue using the same vocabulary year after year for ever or you risk some players missing the point: 2+2=4 so does two plus two….

    ONE OF THE BEST!!!
    If you are a youth baseball coach this podcast is for you. If you value your time and have a busy life and a youth baseball coach look no further than here. Coach Bo gets you a lot of information in a very concise way. He does not focus on interviews like most youth baseball podcasts. He gives you the information you need to help you become a better coach pushing the boundaries of old school and new school methods. This show does not get lost in the weeds of minor details but instead focuses on the things that really move the needle on with your team. Thanks Coach Bo for you time and effort to help this underserved community of youth baseball coaches.

    Crushing It!
    If you are a youth coach this podcast is a must listen! I coached 7U and 10U baseball this last summer/fall. I felt like there was more out there to make baseball better for the kids. I ran practices like I had practices when I was young. Ok ground balls, ok fly balls, ok cutoffs, ok lackadaisical batting practice. That is so boring for the kids to run it the way it has always been run. Coach Bo does a great job of giving new ideas and really inspiring you to be better. He also focuses on why we play sports and it isn’t so we can get a scholarship. I found the podcast when he had put out roughly #90. Then I started from #1 and have worked my way through. I would highly recommend it and take some notes. There are so many good nuggets!

    I’ve enjoyed listening to This podcast over the last few weeks. Coach Bo offers a new perspective on various topics of the Sport. He’s knowledgeable, experienced and passionate, which is evident given the energy he brings to every episode!

    Coach Bo has an electrifying enthusiastic voice, you can sense his knowledge and passion. I’m a little league coach for my son’s baseball team, and already I’ve found it useful on the playing field. Thank you for all that you provide.
