I talked with one of the best coaches I’ve ever had this week and he shared some valuable advice…thought I would share. He said “Cryer, sometimes the best thing you can do is keep your mouth shut.” 👀 This was a great reminder for me, and I feel like a lot of us should probably practice it more often. Here are some swings from Ace today…no coaching, no suggestions, no critiquing, just intentional swings. 💯 by @jecryer

This is Justin Cryer. Former Division I player. College coach. Spent 6 years as an area scout with the Houston Astros. Now works in the MLB division at Marucci Sports. Baseball dad. He said something in our recent podcast interview that stops most dads cold.
⠀
Not every at-bat is huge. Not every tournament is critical. Not every loss resets the season. Yet we live like it does because we need the money we spent to mean something. We need the drive to matter. We need the sacrifice to land.
⠀
Your son already forgot about it by Wednesday.
⠀
The ones whose kids still love this game at 16 are the ones who can tell the difference between what actually matters and what just feels urgent in the moment. The full interview is on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts under Chasing Baseball Dreams. Listen to the whole thing.

A lot of parents say they want their son to be tougher, more athletic, and better able to handle failure.

But then they keep him in the one environment that feels the most comfortable.

In this clip, Justin Cryer — former scout, travel ball coach, and dad — talks about making his son play flag football. Not because he loved it or even wanted to, but because Justin believed it would make him a better baseball player.

And it did.

Why?

Because adversity matters. Body awareness matters. Movement matters. Learning how to show up when something feels hard matters.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your son’s baseball career is push him outside his comfort zone.

Parents, one of the most important things you can do is know your kid.

Not just whether he’s talented.

But whether he actually loves baseball.
Whether he can handle what comes with the next level.
Whether his personality fits the path you’re pushing him toward.

In this clip, Justin Cryer shares something he used to tell families when he was scouting for the Astros: if you make decisions based on industry noise, outside pressure, or what you want, without first understanding your child, you’re opening the door to a mistake.

Don’t let all the noise drown out the one voice you should know best: your kid’s.
