Coach Orlando Jones is the first one to tell you that It is one his highest goals to teach boys, that are underrated or overlooked, in the game of baseball.   He is a financial advisor, coach, and an entrepreneur who coach athletes to become better people. In other words, by becoming better people they will want to play the game the right way and master their skill sets.

His journey has led to a path full of purpose and uniquely made for Coach Jones. He first learned the game at Warrenton High School. After graduating from college, Coach Jones delved into the world of teaching but later decided he wanted to pursue something in an advisory role.

While working in education, Coach Jones  started coaching after a year off from the game he loved.   When he began coaching he saw the players coming into high school were not acquiring the skills he knew they needed to be successful in the game of baseball, so he began coaching middle school and that path led him to coaching in college.  In this episode, you’ll find out:

• Why Coach Jones uses psychology in his teaching of the game.

• How his family, faith, and friends helped to shape his career

• How you can become active in participating in baseball and use it to learn about your child.
