In this episode, hosts Jen and Aaron are joined by Jen’s son Colton and Aarons’ son Jace. This show is meant for the fans, players, and coaches of Little League baseball. Today, Jen and Aaron take us through the creation of the podcast and what they hope people can get out of it.
Starting off, Jen takes us through how they came up with the name Slide. Each letter stands for something different. S is for sportsmanship, L is for leadership, I is for inspire, D is for determination, and E stands for excitement. All these things are what the sport stands for to the hosts and what they hope to exemplify with this show.
Next up, Aaron and Jen talk to Aaron’s son Jace about what he loves about baseball. At 7 years old, Jace says his favorite thing is fielding and hitting. He loves catching the ball, and he loves seeing his friends catch the ball and get people out. Colton joins in to say that he plays the same position as Jace and he loves hitting most. Can’t wait for his first dinger!
Every night, Jace and his dad do squats, jumping jacks, and push-ups to keep their bodies in shape. Colton and Jen talk about what makes a good coach, and Aaron and Jen talk about coaching their own kids, what makes it easy, and what makes it hard.
To finish this inaugural episode, Jen and Aaron talk about the pressures on the kids and why they started coaching in the first place.

02 – Isaacs’ Infield
2 RecommendationsIn this weeks’ episode, Jen and Aaron are talking with Coach Lee Isaac’s Little League team who just won 5 games over a championship weekend and took home the championship. The kids are here to talk about their experience in baseball and about their championship run.
Joining the show are Atlee, Kaiden, Jackson, Nixon, and Bryson. To start off the show, Jen talks to the boys about their favorite part of a practice, which turns out to be everything from catching, sliding, and hitting. Then, the kids discuss feeling pressure and how they deal with it on the field. It comes down to buckling down and believing in yourself.
Next up, the topic of conversation is the team’s winning streak. For the last 2 seasons, they haven’t lost a game and they are starting this season off strong by taking home a championship. The kids let us know their walkout songs and home run stats so far, and Coach Aaron tells the kids about his early home run record of zero.
The conversation turns to favorite baseball players. The kids are fans of everyone from Freddy Freeman to Jackie Robinson. Everyone discusses the movie The Sandlot and how enjoyable, and scary, it was. Coach Jen then asks the kids what they say in the huddle and how they deal with small hitters and people’s perception of them as small hitters.
To end the show, Aaron and Jen talk to the boys about their family ties in the sport and how they deal with it. The kids all get a surprise as a thanks for being our guests today.
