Baseball: Coaching Ain’t What it Used to Be

This is a cartoon I did this week for North Metro News on the nuances of coaching in this day and age. Three of my good friends are coaches. Kyle Banister, is a baseball coach, Mark Wolf, who used to work at the Rocky, is a basketball coach and Debbie Minter who is a world class ice skating coach. I admire these guys who are mentoring young athletes. The idea for the cartoon wasn’t based on any of their experiences but the technology today certainly is a challenge for parents everywhere.

I’m on the road for the next few days and so my blogging schedule might be a bit different. I might even do some sketchbook kinds of things form some of the things I’m seeing on my travels. So stay tooned.

I’m still stunned about the tragic news regarding Colorado Rockies president Keli McGregor. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Rockies family. Feel free to leave your condolences.

  1. Good one, Drew! Have a great trip.

    Doesn’t it seem true that only the good die young. Thanks to Mr. McGregor for his hard work. Thanks to Mr. McGregor and his family for the pleasure we get from the Rockies, becasue behind every good man is a supportive and loving family.

  2. GMFO,

    I love the cartoon. Back when I was coaching if I could get the kids to stop picking on each other it was an accomplishment. Everyone wanted to pitch or catch and no one wanted to play in the outfield. the kids were 8-10 at the time. Most didn’t want to be there but the parents saw it as a chance for them to get some exercise.

    The president of the Rockies was so young. 47 or 48. You have to be sure that you tell your family that you love them each and every day because we don’t know when our time will come.

    Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

    Gene
