What if you could change the culture of youth sports for the better? Join us as we talk to Don Bozzuffi, a man who has done just that by taking on the issue of parental behavior at Little League Baseball Games. With nearly 50 years of experience in youth sports and serving as the president of Deptford Little League since 2010, Don shares his journey of tackling this pervasive issue and how his efforts are creating a positive environment for young athletes.

In our conversation, we dive into the reasons behind the drastic shift in parental behavior over the years, from entitlement to misunderstanding the importance of being a positive influence. 

Don also sheds light on the impact of inappropriate language and actions on children, emphasizing the necessity of teaching situational plays and the skillset of baseball. Furthermore, we explore the implementation and benefits of a code of conduct policy to protect volunteers and ensure a more structured and disciplined atmosphere at games.

Our insightful and thought-provoking discussion with Don Bozzuffi offers hope for a better future in youth sports. By addressing the issue of sportsmanship head-on and implementing a code of conduct policy, Don's efforts have garnered national attention and inspired others to follow suit. Listen in to learn how we can all work together to create a more positive culture in youth sports and raise the next generation of champions.
