Jon Kourie

On this podcast, we are recording from The Yard Sports Academy in Deer Park joined by Jon Kourie - founder of Freedom Baseball. We discuss their growth since the organization launched and recapping their 2021 season.  Then we discuss some of the issues with travel baseball, the fallacy of ranking youth baseball teams, why you should not commit early to a college, what you should be focusing on during the college recruiting process and when a player looks pro ball ready. Lastly, we touched on his relationship with the late Mike Leiderman, the impact he had on his career and his life and the legacy he leaves behind.
