How Strong is Your Farm System?

Today’s conversation raises an important question about the future of your program – how strong is your farm system? We know the importance of this system at the professional sports level, with teams pouring money into the development of their young players in hopes of future success. In the same way, coaches at the high school level need to be pouring into the leadership development of their middle school, freshman, and sophomore athletes if they have any hopes of a long-term, positive, high-level program culture.
