I just discovered this podcast and after listening to the latest episode I went back to the beginning. There is so much value in each episode and I’m not making it through very fast because each episode needs to be listened to multiple times to glean as much as possible. I really appreciate how...Read full review »

Even though Rob’s not updating as much as he used to there are several podcasts that I have listened to multiple times. Hopefully Rob can keep giving us more if not I need someone to take this style and keep running with it.

This podcast has taught me so much about baseball.

I’ve been an assistant coach for my young kids’ baseball teams for years now but finally took the leap to head coach for my 8 year old’s travel team. With that leap, I have been doing a ton of research into all aspects of coaching and Rob’s podcast has been the most eyeopening and helpful...Read full review »

I’m so grateful that I came across Rob’s podcast. I have an 8yo who is loving baseball, and on my own I’ve been prepping his mental game more than the physical. His interview in episode 18 with Justin Sua filled my toolbox with invaluable information to teach resiliency to my son and his team. I...Read full review »

The show was suggested to me by a good friend. I’ve been listening to each individual episode when I have the time to pay attention and focus.

This is by far the best youth baseball podcast I’ve listened too. Rob does a great job asking questions and the content is more often than not practical things you can put into practice.
Jeremiah Kiser via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/23
As someone who has never played baseball my knowledge for the sport was minimum. My son started playing and turned out he was good at! Since I was helping coach his teams I started researching different material on coaching and a lot of it was confusing. I stumbled upon this podcast and it has...Read full review »

My 9 year old listens to your podcast every night before bed and insisted we leave you a review. I love it as well, we just wish the episodes came out more often! ;) Best youth baseball podcast out there! Keep up the great work and thank you! - Jennifer & Braxyn

I played HS and failed at JUCO. All the kids at JUCO were “Polished” players. Rob Tong has allowed me to learn what I didn’t know I didn’t know, and now I “Polish” the youth players skills. I highly recommend the two podcasts w Tyler Gillum. Those two episodes over and over might be the best of...Read full review »

TrustNasty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/22
Hey Rob, Just want to say thank you for what you are doing. This podcast should be mandatory for all youth coaches. It is amazing the ideas it generates.

Asked to be an assistant coach to my daughter’s 8u coach pitch team, I was happy to help. For the following two seasons, however I was thrust into head coaching duties on several occasions. Frantically searching for some guidance I stumbled across the YBE podcast, and over time, our little team...Read full review »

Rob Tong, Driveline and now, Speedball amongst so many other great resources for youth coaches.

I’m listening to #120 with Mike McKinley...where did he buy his large /giant stopwatch to time infielders? Gotta get one🤩⚾️👍🇺🇸 Love the podcast - highly helpful.

So informative and inspiring! Thank you and keep them coming.
boilfin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/22
I love what Rob is doing here, and his values around teaching the game are on point. I’ve learned a lot, like in Episode 83, where Rudy Garcia described how he runs batting practice. I’ve started using his approach with my 11U travel team and love it. What’s missing for me is any description of...Read full review »

Such great content and so entertaining. I started listening during drives in the car with my 9 year old, and we loved it so much we had to go back to episode 1 and listen to them all in order. Such a helpful support for him as he grows in his baseball skills!

Covers such a wide range of topics, but almost always seems to touch something close to me. Ive learned a lot listening to this podcast the last few years and I wish I could remember half of what I learned.
johnjaysfan via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/05/21
Enjoy the podcast. Started from the beginning even though I just found it in 2021. Rob likes to ask the right questions to the interviewee and it just works. Like the multitude of different topics.

I’ve found this podcast to be a tremendous help in shortening my learning curve as a coach. The host as well as guest, seem to be genuinely interested in progressing youth baseball and developing players. It’s not all about the W. I’ve been coaching for about 5 years, without any previous...Read full review »

This podcast is pure gold. I just discovered it and have already listened to 6 episodes on strength training topics. Along with Eric Cressey’s podcast this will be my go-to podcast on long car rides to games. Good validation that my sons have been training wisely the past two years with strength...Read full review »

I have only recently found this podcast, but I’ve been sharing it with as many other youth baseball coaches and parents as I can.

Found this podcast 2 seasons ago and have forwarded so many episodes to my players parents and their coaches.

I am late to the game but have listened to several shows trying to catch up. This is a great show for any baseball fan but especially for those involved in youth sports.

Can’t get enough.
bluejayry via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/12/20
I’ve been a youth head coach for 5 years. As a parent who didn’t grow up as a baseball kid, I got into it when my son expressed interest. As a coach this has given me a new perspective and set of tools to work with the kids in a more structured focused way. There’s something substantive for...Read full review »

A must listen for any coach, parent, or coach parent. Rob is in essence just like any of us as he’s just another lover of baseball with the tough task of trying to find the answers to the questions of an ever evolving game. What makes it even more relatable to most is that he’s also a coach and...Read full review »

Love this podcast. Tons of great discussions and advice for coaches and parents at any level. Rob does a great job of asking the right questions and putting things into context. I am definitely a better coach and parent since I starting listening.
Tonytdawg17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/20
A lot of depth and knowledge but not to the point of overwhelming for people to listen to. Even you pull some of the highlights of each show and share with your baseball player it will help him or her get better and understand the whole baseball process
