In love with coverstar

Love this

I am a 10U travel ball player and this has helped me so much!!
Stormi G

Thoroughly enjoyable

This is an awesome ‘fly on the wall’ experience of growing up in travel ball. I love the relationship between the dad & daughter. This podcast has helped me determine if we are travel ball people. Good luck in college Lacie

Must Listen

Informative and entertaining. Love hearing about the father/daughter dynamic. As the father of a young (9yo) softball player and pitcher this is incredibly informative. It’s nice to hear from a father’s perspective and the shared dad experience.

Loved listening to father and daughter reminiscing about their years together in softball. This is a must hear for parents of young athletes.
