<p><strong>The Man In The Arena</strong></p><p><br /></p><p>"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."</p><p><br /></p><p>Chapters</p><p>00:00 - Introduction and Housekeeping</p><p>02:59 - Youth Training Tools and Their Impact</p><p>06:09 - Navigating Parental Emotions in Youth Sports</p><p>09:13 - The Pressure of Competition and Personal Attacks</p><p>12:05 - Chirping and Its Impact on Young Athletes</p><p>18:08 - The Softness of Spectator Behavior</p><p>20:55 - Standing Up Against Disrespect in Competition</p><p>24:23 - The Emotional Rollercoaster of Watching Your Child Play</p><p>27:05 - Learning from Adversity in Youth Sports</p><p>29:43 - The Individuality of Baseball and Its Impact on Young Players</p><p>33:16 - Responsibility and Growth in Competitive Environments</p><p>37:24 - Extracting Value from Experiences</p><p>39:21 - Pitch Count Awareness and Youth Baseball Safety</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Start training with Driveline now with Academy Flex:</p><p><a href="https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Develop bat speed with our Youth Power Bat for just $99!</p><p><a href="https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Skills That Scale: The Complete Youth Baseball Training Manual is out now!</p><p><a href="https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Train bat speed and barrel accuracy with our Youth Underload Smash bat - just $79!</p><p><a href="https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>⬇️ Hosts ⬇️</p><p>Deven Morgan<a href="https://twitter.com/devenmorgan " rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/devenmorgan </a></p><p>Jeremy Tecktiel<a href="https://twitter.com/jeremytecktiel " rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/jeremytecktiel </a></p><p><br /></p><p>🚨 Follow Driveline Academy on Social Media 🚨<a href="https://twitter.com/DrivelineYouth " rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/DrivelineYouth " rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/DrivelineYouth </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/drivelineyouth " rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/drivelineyouth </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/drivelineyouth" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/drivelineyouth</a></p><p><br /></p><p> 🔽 Follow Driveline Baseball on Social Media 🔽</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/DrivelineBB " rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/DrivelineBB </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/drivelinebaseball" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/drivelinebaseball</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/drivelinebaseball" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/drivelinebaseball</a></p>
