Hi Jbusold -

Welcome to Wikipedia. I just thought I would reach out to you about your edits to Wikipedia today. The issue is that you have added attendance at a non-notable baseball coaching clinic to the WP articles of numerous subjects. Ballplayers and coaches routinely provide this kind of instruction and/or speaking, so this is not considered appropriate for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Even if there is a source to back up these events, they are so minor and routine (in the grand scheme of things) that they should be left out. There are some events that are marginally notable (based on the amount of coverage that they get in independent reliable sources) and it might be a close call as to whether or not to include them, but this one is not even close.

Also, please see WP:COI for some guidelines around conflict-of-interest editing on WP. For starters, if you are representing an organization, you should declare that COI on your WP user page. Also, if you make an edit and another editor reverts it, it's a good idea to either avoid making similar edits or at least to reach out to the editor for more explanation if the rationale is unclear.

I appreciate your willingness to incorporate this feedback. I just don't want you to waste your time here making changes that will ultimately be reverted. I think you will find that there are more productive (and more professional) approaches than using WP for SEO or marketing purposes; the encyclopedia is just not set up for that. Thanks again.
