Tim Jones, owner of Clubhouse Pittsburgh and coach with the Rawlings Tigers Pittsburgh sector, brings more than 20 years of experience developing hitters—from youth baseball to the professional level. Over the course of his career, he has helped more than 60 athletes reach the college ranks and guided players on to professional baseball.

But for Tim, great coaching goes far beyond mechanics.

In this episode of The Coach & Counselor, we dive into the philosophy behind developing not just better hitters, but better humans. Tim shares how blending modern skill development with old-school grit helps athletes build confidence, accountability, and resilience both on and off the field.

We discuss the importance of individualized player development, helping hitters truly understand their swing, and creating standards that push athletes to grow as competitors and as people. The conversation also explores the role parents and coaches play in shaping a young athlete’s experience with the game.

If you're a coach, parent, or player who cares about leadership, player development, and the bigger purpose behind sports, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
