We also talk about the dreaded attendance death spiral, why both tiny rosters and gigantic rosters can create.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest theme running through all seven? Communication. Most of these problems aren&apos;t unavoidable disasters. Teams can usually see them coming\u2014but only if players are willing to talk about them before a minor annoyance turns into the reason half the roster leaves.<\/p>\n<p>Check out past episodes, Beer Leaguer social channels, and the Beer Leaguer shop at <a href='https:\/\/thebeerleaguer.com\/'>https:\/\/thebeerleaguer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Links<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href='https:\/\/youtu.be\/RT1wzDgsCXU'>Why You Should be the Glue Guy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href='https:\/\/youtu.be\/u5kRjtfx1OM'>10 Things Beer League Teams Don&apos;t Warn You About<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href='https:\/\/youtu.be\/w-xdS7cQfDE'>Starting a Beer League Team?
