Tryouts are a job interview where only one side knows the questions.

The organization has talked to a thousand nervous dads before you. They know what you're going to ask before you park the truck. Fees. Schedule. Playing time. And they have a polished answer waiting for every one of them.

These are not those questions.

WHAT'S INSIDE

  • The 12 questions to ask before you write the check, sorted by your son's age

  • What a real answer sounds like, and the answer that means walk away

  • The daddy ball question nobody asks out loud

  • Why a cut at 13 isn't a talent evaluation... it's a snapshot

  • The one question no revenue-driven program will ever answer

Bobby Minor — Founder,

Chasing Baseball Dreams

Nobody pays me to keep you comfortable.

I'm Bobby Minor. D1 player. 35 years of coaching, rec ball through high school. I ran my own select organization, so I know exactly what gets said in the parent meeting... and what never does. I have no financial stake in any travel program, showcase circuit, or lesson business.

I've also sat where you sit. One of my sons quit at nine because I pushed too hard, too fast. The other nearly quit at fourteen, stuck it out, and just finished his third year of college baseball. These twelve questions are the ones I wish somebody had handed me twenty years ago.

Ask these questions and the worst that happens is a coach gets uncomfortable for ten minutes.

Skip them, and you learn the truth the way most dads do... two seasons and eight thousand dollars from now.
