Complete Players Start Here: Lessons from the GameChanger Scout Team
Manage episode 512425027 series 3664487
What makes a great baseball player? Beyond throwing hard or hitting for power, it’s often the intangibles—character, resilience, and mindset—that separate good from great.
In this episode of Athletic Intelligence by GameChanger, Jason Ferber—head coach of the first-ever GameChanger National Scout Team—joins hosts Aman Loomba and Alex Trezza to explore how metrics and mindset work together to shape complete players in youth baseball.
From his early days as a coach in Central Park to leading 26 of the top 12U athletes at IMG Academy, Coach Ferber shares why he values motivation as much as mechanics, and how tools like Trackman, Pelotero, and Pocket Radar can support development without overshadowing the joy of the game.
You’ll hear:
- The balance between hard skills and soft skills in player development
- Why feedback, patience, and even failure are crucial parts of building confidence
- How baseball analytics can guide tough decisions for parents and coaches
- What families can do to keep their kids’ imagination and love for baseball intact
