About Marty Schupak & This Blog

  Marty Schupak has been coaching youth sports for 25 years. He has coached over 5,000 kids in youth athletics. Many of his former players have gone on to play in high school and beyond. Many have received athletic college scholarships. Coach Schupak has coached children in baseball, basketball and soccer. He has served on many leagues’ boards of directors and is a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association.

  Marty began coaching after being unhappy with the way his oldest son’s Little League coach would run his practices.  He investigated the sports coaching field and went to numerous practices around the country observing successful coaches. The one common element he found was that there was zero wasted time and all the players were always doing something without any standing around.   When he became a coach he followed the same formula. He found that his players loved coming to his practices and this led to success on the field. As he became more and more successful, he put his techniques in a series of videos which have been viewed by millions of coaches and players around the world.

  Thousands of youth baseball coaches have been trained at his clinic How To Run A Youth Baseball Practice. He is the founder and president of the Youth Sports Club, a group dedicated to improving coaching and youth sports practices. His web site www.YouthSportsClub.com, is one of the most popular resources for youth coaches and parents.

     He also authored eight books including the popular young adult Cliff Vermont series. He received a bachelor's degree from Boston University in 1975 and a master's degree in physical education from Arizona State University in 1978. Schupak lives in Valley Cottage, New York.
