Coach you have made some excellent points. I been in coaching for 50 plus years and this has become a major problem. I maintain that kids have not changes as much as the adults in their world have changed over the years. The adults also includes the coaches who often force specialization when...Read full review »

Agree with others: used to be a good show a while ago but too much rambling and hard sales now.
dj colickyboy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/18
I use to really like this Podcast, especially early. Lately, however, this s podcast has become advertising for certain people/products, as mentioned in an earlier review. There was a rope trainer episode that was over the top. I understand this is a tool, but the whole show was a glorified...Read full review »

Really cool hearing from a dad/coach point of view that knows a lot about the game! Strongly suggest watching previous shows as well

All levels can listen and gain something. Great show.
Robinbird466 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/17
Actually thinking about getting a rope trainer.
Drew9302 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/17
I understand wanting to get paid for podcasting. And honestly I was thinking of looking into the rope trainer. But it has started to dominate your show. And I feel like the rope bat was a whole advertising episode. That was frustrating to listen to, and I don't really know exactly how it...Read full review »
Nic, what do you mean its takn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/17
Most of us are single commuters so we need companionship during our drive to and from work. I actually look forward to driving into work now since I'm a new to podcasting and think its a terrific medium. If you are a baseball parent and enjoy hearing about real life stories involving the...Read full review »

This podcast is an amazing body of work that I've listened to religiously now for the past two weeks on my morning and afternoon commute. I'm a huge fan of the Matheny Manifesto and agree that the joy of youth sports has been eroded by overzealous parents and bad coaching. The show is...Read full review »

Love all the great info!!!
Illinois dad 2007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/17
Great show. With great guests. My favorite episode was the Dad round table. I recommend that to be a monthly or quarterly show.
Brian D. 54 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/16
I really enjoy listening to the show on my commutes. As a new baseball dad, you have introduced me to many good things just in the month I have been listening and I am very thankful for it! My son is 7 and in his 2nd season of babe ruth rookie ball. I am glad I found the podcast. I've read...Read full review »

Jim is seriously the worst interviewer I've ever heard. And dislike all the ads.Read full review »

CTSwartz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/16
Great information with top notch guest! Cromer seems to be very well connected to get top tier interviews. The show is very professional in the way its ran.
Folkz75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/16
Loves the majestic coaches corner! This podcast has been a go to for me. A lot of good information here and keep on listening to them again and again. Great job!

Baseball dad, far removed from the US over here in Australia but your show is still relevant and I am learning a lot, thank you

Great info and interviews. Always learn something.
Baseball Meddler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/16
I'm always looking for programs that empower coaches & parents to bring out the best in their athletes. This show does that, with a host who clearly, but humbly knows his stuff and cares about excellence off the diamond as well. The format moves fast and the guests are great! Highly...Read full review »
Gina Parris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/16
There is good information to be gained in each episode. Guests are well-chosen and typically offer some tidbit of info that helps me coach my kids. But, as is often the case, coaches are not trained interviewers, and Jim could dramatically improve the show if he could take a few lessons in...Read full review »

Youth Talk Baseball was one of the first podcasts I ever listened to. My young boys are catchers so I follow Xan Barksdale close. Thus my first exposure to Youth Talk Baseball was his episode after I got an email from Xan telling me about the show. Since then I've listened to all +20...Read full review »

I moved from Seattle to the Metro East of St. Louis 5 years ago and Jim Cromer was the first guy I spoke with that answered my youth baseball questions. Jim is a learner and listener at heart with a huge appetite for understanding baseball. His compilation of wisdom is worth a lot more than...Read full review »
@STaylorSTL via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/15
The views host Jim Cromer seemingly come from the heart and he really seems to care about the kids. Between the guests and great topical discussion, I will never miss an episode.
Pigpen1204 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/15
perfect show for baseball parents (or parents of any child athletes) - loved the Mike Matheny episode!
LBL_LBL via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/15
Very professionally done, and with an objective view about youth baseball. Fantastic.
Mcphuguy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/15

I went on iTunes looking for a podcast about youth baseball and found this. It was exactly what I was looking for and more! Jim does a great job and has guests who really have important wisdom to share. I have been really impressed and will look forward to listening to every one!
Indy Top Gun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/15
This is a great podcast for both parents and coaches.
Nolesfan924 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/15
I'm no baseball freak…just the mom of a son trying to sort through the maze of youth sports. I loved the podcast with Darren Hendrickson and look forward to more with Coach Hendrickson. I love that he didn't have an answer/prescription but acknowledges the problems we face when we...Read full review »

This podcast nails the goals and objectives of youth baseball right on the head. A must listen for amateur baseball coaches of every level.
Cornerstone Coaching Academy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/15
Jim gives an interesting view on the topic of Youth Baseball. Dude definitely knows his stuff. 10/10 I would back Jim up in a knife fight if necessary!
AdmiralAmsterdam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/15
Well thought out talk on how coaches are honest with recruitment. Very good first episode, hope you can bring more experience for young kids and parents for learning the ins and outs of the little aspects that are involved outside the lines.
Dawgmike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/15
Very helpful. Nice hearing from the P3 guys from Bud Dome. Very knowledgable. Jim does a nice job and you can tell he cares.
