Booking Overview

This is an interview-focused youth-sports podcast about improving coaching, parenting, athlete well-being, and sportsmanship, typically featuring accomplished baseball players, coaches, and broadcasters. Agencies could credibly pitch former professional athletes, respected coaches, sports broadcasters, and experts with strong perspectives on youth sports, leadership, resilience, or healthy competition; booking is likely high difficulty because recent guests include World Series champions, a Cy Young Award winner, and a major-league broadcaster.
