"I had a great experience with Coach Youngblood. He not only is a great
coach, but a great person that wants to win and does things the right way.
He really knows the game and can definitely get players to the next
level." Scott Wingo (SC Dist. 1 World Champions 2007, University of
South Carolina (National Champions 2010)

“I played for Coach Youngblood on the SC District I Host Team in 2004. It was a privilege to have played on such a talented team as the one we had. From that 2004 team, I believe all of us went on to play college ball with a few making it to the professional level.
Coach Youngblood did not try to mold his players into one style of play. He would take the skills and talent the player already had and build on them from there. One quote that I still remember from Coach Youngblood is "We aren't trying to re-invent the wheel." He knew how the game was played and put his players in a position that he knew they could be successful.
It was a pleasure to have played for Coach Youngblood and there is no doubt that young players can benefit from his knowledge of the game.” -Andrew Runion (SC Dist. 1 World Champions 2004, USC-Upstate)

"Coach Youngblood knows the game of baseball, and plays it the right way. Without Bobby Youngblood and the help of his former colleagues, I would have never reached my full potential as a baseball player."  -Joey Friddle (Upstate Express Select Travel, Sports Academy, Young Harris Junior College, University of South Carolina, College of Charleston)

"Playing on the SC District I host team and on the Upstate Express Travel Team was a great experience.  Playing with and against high levels of talent and competition helped me develop as a player and gain a lot of exposure. I think the most valuable thing other than the baseball aspect was the lasting relationships I grew with players that are still great friends today." 
-Andrew Guest (SC Dist. 1 host team, Upstate Express, Erskine College)

“My experience with Coach Youngblood was very brief but one I will remember.  When he speaks if you're smart you will listen because the man has the experience and knowledge to help you do things the right way.  Since I moved from Venezuela I can honestly say that Coach Youngblood is the best coach around the upstate area to get any kid ready for college ball or pro ball. I have a lot of respect for him and what he represents. I love listening to him talk baseball.  Thanks to him and all my teammates I am a World Champ and nobody can take that away.” -Arturo Mogrezutt (SC Dist. 1 World Champions 2007, Spartanburg Methodist College)

"This program taught me the virtues and work ethic that it took for me to reach my goals. Without this experience my college and pro career may have never happened. Coach Youngblood knows how to teach the game the right way. Hustle, hard work, and team work are the things that I learned and I'm proof that this system works. You will not be disappointed!"  -Jonathan Bolt (Upstate Express Select Travel, USC-Aiken)
