Coach Dan is here! After last week's episode about taking on obstacles, I wanted to follow up a topic we've been wanting to discuss for a long time. What are the challenges smaller leagues tackle regularly? And what can small leagues do to survive? All leagues around the world have been wondering about their mortality as of late, but we fear small leagues will be hit the hardest and since the majority of leagues in the world are small (like our own league), we want to show them some love with this episode. ? by Ciara Janae Find our transcribed episodes on our Patreon page at https://www.patreo ..read more
