Name: Oren Ben-Ami (Top left)
Profession: Product Manager, Fiverr
Team you coach: Modi’in Miracles Minors
Years as a coach: 3‎
Your first baseball experience: I first played baseball in Little League in Madison, ‎Wisconsin (3rd grade)‎
You’re a fan of: Milwaukee Brewers‎
The player you most admire and why: Paul Molitor because I grew up watching him. ‎Even though I was sad that he left Milwaukee, I was happy because he finally got a ‎World Series ring with Toronto. ‎
Your most memorable baseball moment as a coach: My son’s first year playing, when he ‎was only in first grade. It was our first playoff game and he was playing second base. He ‎caught his first fly ball of the season. When I saw the look on his face, especially when ‎the other kids congratulated him for the out, it was priceless. We ended up losing the ‎game, but that catch still sticks with me.‎
If you weren’t coaching baseball, you’d be…: Coaching basketball. I love sports.‎
Your top coaching tip: Play to the best of your ability and don’t worry about winning the ‎game. If my players have given their best effort, then that’s what makes me proud. ‎Winning or losing will take care of itself.‎
Your coaching mantra: It’s not about being the best; it’s about being the best you can be.‎
