I have been coaching as assistant coach , head coach, and pitching coach for alot of years in softball. Had my ups and downs like all coaches. Had several people that have tried to do things to support me and their are ones who did the opposite. However, it had always been about developing kids to help them achieve their goals and dreams.
Here in this week I saw big business that I thought were all about the kids. On the 4th of August I was working with some of my pitchers in P360 where I rent to work with pitchers. I started receiving text messages from several parents of the pitchers I coach. They were asking me why P360 was closed. I told them I knew nothing about it. They sent me a copy of their text stating to all members that as of August the 1st P360 location was permanently closed. I told them I was sorry however I knew nothing about it. When I finished that evening I called some of the coaches that work in the same facility and they knew nothing about it as well. Next day I texted one if the owners and he told me it was true. In my text I told him how much the operations of that location meant to so many kids. He told me that it was true about the closing however it was the landlord that wouldnt agree to the management team they wanted to put in after the manager retired. Even though the lease was good for the rest of the year.
The thing that I questioned was how unprofessional it was to send a notice to all members that had membership with that location of P360 of the closing on August the 1st and I had be in the same location for over 10 years and no notice was given. So 3 days after they permanently closed the facility I still wasn't told.
So I contacted as many people I could to find a place to be able to train and develop pitchers in hopes of receiving college scholarships to live their dreams of playing at the next level. The big business again only thought about big money and had no concern for the kids that for years help kids train in sports to be a better Baseball , Softball, and Basketball players. No 30 day notices, just a text on August the 4th announcing they are permanently close on August the 1st. They were selling all equipment, cages, turf, by August the 15th! So another big business selling out on kids that were trying to live the dreams that the owners of that same business lived themselves! I personally will never give up trying to help kids live their dreams and to accomplish their goals of completing their goals. I will find away!
