Rebecca Weaver from Travel Team Hero joins Rob D. and Samarra to talk about the chaos of tryout season and how one frustrated parent turned that frustration into a national tool for families, coaches, and players. They cover the biggest mistakes parents make when searching for teams, why tryouts should be treated like a two-way interview, and how data, filters, and automation are reshaping the search process. They also dig into future ideas like pickup players and other sports and activities that could benefit from the same kind of centralized platform.Resources:·         Travel Team Hero Tryout Tracker·         Travel Team Hero Instagram·         Travel Team Hero Facebook·         Team Coach Schu Instagram·         Team Coach Schu Booking·         Call or Text Team Coach Schu 619-370-6328·         Softball Central Podcast·         Softball Central Newsletter·         Softball Central Instagram·         Softball Central on YouTube·         Softball Central Facebook Group·         Call or Text the Podcast 323-909-2112
