Straight line running is a skill and everyone can get better. Players are at many different levels when it comes to speed. Coaches need to educate themselves or get someone with track experience and incorporate running drills into their practice plans.

Some players have attributes you want but their skill level is not quite up to what is needed. It often happens that you keep that player with the hope that she might make it. Is it better to make the cut early or see what happens?
Always believe in your success and stay away from hoping to be successful
Переглядів 18Місяць тому
We have all seen it or been a part of it. A team is beating a team that is better and should beat them or we make a big rally and go ahead in a game and LOSE. It is something that coaches have to work on and create that mindset of believing and we belong here. Don't get nervous and start hoping to win and become defensive. Sometimes you can just feel the tension and know it is not going to end ...

Satellite fields in showcases are a problem
Переглядів 6Місяць тому
When we go to a showcase, we don't know if we are going to be scheduled to play at a satellite field. Sometimes these fields are some distance from the primary sites. When this happens it makes it more difficult for college coaches to see the players that they want to see. Players and coaches have to be prepared when this happens to figure out not only the game schedule, but when players are go...

The idea of a pitching staff vs. a pitching ace. You need to have a strategy on how and when to use that staff to have the best chances of winning at the end. You can't rely on just a pitching ace.

Re-evaluate your players on a continuing basis
Переглядів 142 місяці тому
Sometimes we form an opinion of a player and keep it over time. Players develop and change as well as their mental game. The game changes, it keeps getting faster. Therefore we need to evaluate all players and what they are contributing on a continuing basis. They may not be performing at the level of our opinion or they would help the team in a different position.

Question 🙋 am I putting the most pressure on my pointer finger when snapping the wrist 👆
😑 P r o m o S M
Great video! Consider what happened in the second inning of Game 4 of the 2023 World Series. The Rangers scored first on a wild pitch. What was the catcher doing? Did not prevent the run from scoring.
Why would your goal be for the ball to hit chest instead of catching it?

Incredible explanation! Thanks so much.. my daughter is starting to learn on her own initially, the Curve Ball.
Great advice.
So what is expected? We supposed to step on their toes and squeeze our way past them in the dugout to get on field? How would this be done if the only entrant to the field is through the dugout? Do you have keys to the centerfield gate where the 4wheeler comes in to drag? Do the girls hop the fence onto the field? This is a great idea in theory. Applying it in principal is impossible unless you’re playing on an open field. Out here 90% of the fields are locked with a wrap around fence. They lick them better than fort knox. I really wish we could do this. Impractical if your only entrance is through the dugout.
🤷 Promo-SM!
Always enjoy listening to you guys chat, thanks. My highschool sophomore daughter and I are second year into coaching a 10u team. We've lost and won our share but that hasn't been the measure of our success. I remember executing things we've worked on more than the wins and losses. Planning a practice after a tournament this fall we couldn't think of anything we needed to focus on from the weekend. I can't remember if we won, but I remember how proud I was when planning that practice!
Any recommendations on building a balance beam?
