This week, I'm joined by Mike Deegan, Head Baseball Coach at Denison University, for a conversation that goes far beyond wins and losses.

We discuss: building a program around standards, not shortcuts, what college coaches are really looking for in recruits, the role culture plays in sustained success, why coachability and character still separate great players and what today's players, coaches, and parents need to hear about long-term development.

Whether you're a coach building a program, a parent navigating the youth baseball journey, or a player chasing your next opportunity, this episode is packed with practical insights from one of the game's premier leaders.
