TL;DR
MADE
is
a
wonderful
program
for
our
youth
that
goes
above
and
beyond
the
basics
by
instilling
good
habits,
discipline
and
a
strong
sense
of
respect
among
peers.
Identifying
the
right
coach
can
be
challenging.
Look
no
further
than
MADE,
which
has
taught
me
that
there
is
so
much
more
to
learn
through
the
lens
of
baseball.
1.
Good
Habits.
One
of
the
first
things
that
I
noticed
is
the
practice
of
players
picking
up
after
themselves,
specifically
the
player
in
the
"hole"
needs
to
pickup
the
bat
after
a
hit.
These
subtle
lessons
go
a
long
way
towards
teaching
good
habits,
which
I
believe
is
what
makes
MADE
stand
out
over
anything
else.
That
is
just
one
example,
but
you'll
learn
that
MADE
coaches
are
very
invested
in
our
players
learning
to
develop
this
life
lesson
in
many
other
ways.
2.
Discipline.
Don't
show
up
late
or
you'll
do
pushups.
May
sound
harsh
but
these
kids
knock
it
out
and
understand
the
importance
of
being
on
time.
Tuck
your
shirt
in;
doesn't
warrant
pushups
but
does
instill
a
sense
of
discipline
to
be
neat
and
show
up
looking
like
a
player.
MADE
coaches
are
not
going
to
let
subtle
things
slip,
and
that
is
exactly
what
we
need
in
these
times
and
in
this
town.
3.
Respect.
For
one
another
and
for
coaches.
From
my
(limited)
experience
as
a
bad
news
bears
parent
coach,
this
is
the
most
challenging
attribute
to
teach.
MADE
kids
develop
a
bond
and
respect
for
one
another
that
I've
not
seen
anywhere
else.
Everyone
is
welcome
and
no
matter
what
will
get
a
pump
by
their
fellow
players.
MADE
coaches
instill
a
diverse
and
inclusive
environment
by
making
sure
that
every
player
is
treated
with
respect,
no
matter
their
skill
level.
In
summary,
if
you
have
a
little
league
player,
then
I
encourage
you
to
give
this
program
a
try.
We
are
regulars
at
hustle
ball
and
camps
(a
great
option
when
school
is
out).
I
purposely
did
not
single
any
coach
out
in
my
review
because
they
are
all
great
and
deeply
invested
in
our
youth!
See
it
for
yourself.
I
often
sit
in
the
stands
and
watch
my
two
boys
getting
MADE
into
good
kids.
One
last
thing
worth
noting
is
that
I'm
not
looking
for
baseball
scholarships.
Instead,
I'm
looking
for
good
role
models
and
I
found
them
at
MADE.
