Dugout Confessions
Hi friend! We're the Johnson's. For the past 15 years we've lived life on a diamond.
From college ball to pro ball. To opening an academy and working with teams in travel ball. To getting involved in our local rec park - coaching our kids and leading the league as commissioner. To finding ourselves back in college as a D2 pitching coach. We've seen it all. We've done it all. And now we're talking about it!
Our hope is to create a community that can relate to the different situations that are shared from others who follow. Maybe it helps you see your situation isn't as bad as it could be or find comfort in knowing others are struggling in the same areas you are.
We started the social media platforms with our story and our confessions.
& now we're sharing yours, too!
Join us on the journey to find sanity in the chaos of youth sports.

Building Confidence in Players
The most viewed & interacted with video we've done was the simplest, most profound.
I asked Coach, "What do you wish coaches at the youth level knew?" one morning before he went off to work.
"How to build confidence in players," he said.
Without a doubt, one of the missing components in young athletes today is confidence. There are many reasons for why this is, but that's not what we want to focus on. Instead, let's talk about how to build it!
In this episode we highlight some of the ways that Coach has found success with building confidence in young players and how we implement those principles in our home as mom and dad.
