After briefly coaching college baseball, Jake joined Positive Coaching Alliance and is now the Business Development Manager, overseeing Chapter Expansion.

Here, Wald urges all coaches to have common courtesy and treat umpires with decency. Coaches should remember that umpires do not have a malicious intent and are simply doing a very difficult job in the best way they know how.
