Little League & Travel Baseball: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Tony Manolatos

“Find your joy,” Elizabeth says to her 12-year-old son Alex before every baseball practice and game. As a former D1 athlete and CEO of one of the region’s largest non-profits, Elizabeth knows people, especially young athletes, are at their best when they are loose and happy. Young baseball players who play with confidence and joy tend to separate themselves from their peers, but the mental side of the game is a constant challenge for players at all levels.
