More than 500 coaches came together this morning at Dodgers Dreamfield No. 58 for Coaches Training #2 in partnership with Nike ⚾️💙
From trauma-informed coaching to skills and drills, coaches from across Los Angeles spent the day learning how to build connection, resilience, and confidence in young athletes — on and off the field.
A special thank you to @dodgersalumni Dennis Powell for joining us and sharing his insight and experience with our coaches as we continue to invest in the mentors shaping the next generation.
Through Dodgers Dreamteam, we’re committed to training 1,750 coaches this season and using sport as a vehicle for social change. #DodgersDreamteam #BiggerThanBaseball
Great coaching isn’t just what you say, it’s when you say it. Just like a batter waiting for the perfect pitch ⚾️ knowing when to step in makes all the difference. Coach @bigmeech_2 would know. Find your timing at the link in our bio.

People across sport, mental health, and youth development coming together around one shared belief: when done right, sport can heal.
This is how healing-centered sport moves forward. In rooms like this. Through honest conversation, shared learning, and people committed to doing the work differently.
Grateful to @getgamechanger for sponsoring the event and to Carmel Hill for supporting a first-of-its-kind, three year sport and mental health coach cohort initiative.

Last week, we joined the Minnesota Twins Nike RBI coaches for a healing-centered coaches training made possible by the @jacksonyellefoundation .
Together, we explored practical tools coaches can use to build healthy baseball and softball environments. Because when coaches have the right support, sport becomes more than competition. It becomes a place where young people can grow and heal.
