My Dad Bob Barron Sr. is in the Men's National Fast Pitch Softball Hall of Fame. He has taught me how to play this game right.

Training a student who is raw & with hard work applying my drills & watching them improve & become a confident player.

Playing the game I understand what these young people feel about the struggles and the joys of the game. Also I know how to motivate and build confidence. If they can handle the game of baseball and softball then they can handle all the things life throws at them.

He teaches everything there is to know about softball. Defensively, offensively, mental strength and strategies. The drills he teaches are fun and challenging and he is constantly looking to change things up so that his student is kept on their toes. He gives 100% in his teachings and expects the same from his students. The best and most knowledgeable coach I have ever trained with.

As his daughter, I may be a bit biased, but my Dad taught my sister and I so much about the game since such a young age. His drills were always far more advanced than those we used while playing for our high school and college teams. This is largely due to my Dad’s vast knowledge of both sports from all his high-level experience in pro minor league baseball and men’s fastpitch softball. Even now, after many years past his competitive days, my dad is still a student of the game and constantly learning and reinventing his trade.

Barron is super easy to talk to & made lessons fun. He is very passionate and knowledgable about both Baseball & Softball. It was always great to hear his stories - both Baseball & Softball. He challenges his players to understand WHY they are doing certain things vs. going through the motions.

Bob was the epitome of work ethic! Always working to be the best player he could be. I know from personnel experience with my own daughters that he worked them to the best they could be...he demanded to “practice perfect”...in this day and age where we condone mediocrity Bob’s style is refreshing...there is really no free meal in anything, and in sports we need to instill a work ethic or we will be promoting failure......Bob is truly a great coach and a really great person!
