    As a high school infielder, one of the biggest confidence boosts I can get, is seeing a big leaguer make an error during a drill. It just lets you know that no one is perfect, and even when you are making a lot of mistakes, you just keep working and get better, because the big guys make mistakes too

      Look up the 2,000 hour rule bro. In one off season I took my son from struggling as a second baseman with tight hops and hard hit grounders to begin the best in the area. We set a schedule and followed it. Worked fielding mechanics 3-4 times a week and did as many reps as possible. In one summer he’s one of the top infielders in our area now. More reps are the key, and allowing your self to fail while you perfect and hone your craft.

      It's very common in coaching younger athletes that it takes a bit to get them completely behind themselves. This is one way to do it. Put the burden on the athlete. When they finally pick it up all the way they are much stronger.

    thanks for sharing, that was an excellent video - really enjoyed it , and I got a lot from it ...... As an experienced basketball coach of elite juniors wanting to go pro one day, and a beginner baseball coach of regular domestic players with very different skill levels and outlooks for their game; I got (or confirmed) 4 big take aways or approaches to training from this , for both players and coaches alike , and I’m now convinced that they can apply to any sport:
    (1) break down the aspect you’re working on into smaller parts beginning with a simple stage that only works 1 or 2 parts of the whole , and then build up adding more parts once you have executed the stage you’re working at competently , moving towards the whole ...
    (2) fundamentals are the key to performing well in a sport . No matter what level you are at, fundamentals need to be considered, refined and practiced every time you train or work on a skill. Thee’s many things you can’t control in a game, but you can control the way you execute the fundamental skills by always working on them in practice ... more often than not the team that wins is the team that does all the little standard things properly and better than the other team ... a flashy team that cares less about the fundamentals , winged or concentrates on aspects they can’t control or always tried the flashy instead of the basic ain’t going to have much success, and will rarely improve or improve quickly ..
    (3) practice for perfection and make it game like ... whether you are on your knees in a warm up drill for preseason at your local park or you’re 1 of 2 players trialing for the last spot available at the New York Yankees, practice game like and for perfection every time -- this way you will be noticed and it will impress, it becomes a training norm that is infectious to others, bad habits won’t creep in , you’ll get the most out of every session.... then on game day or the final day of trails, it’s just the “same old same old“ , because you’ve done it with perfection, good intensity and concentration 1000s of times before..... you’ll go into your zone and execute subconsciously more times than not
    (4) listen, show respect to others, be polite, be positive and give honest constructive feedback at the appropriate time, think about how you can do better next session and/or next ball coming your way , don’t ever rest and rely on what you’ve done before and think if it works well it will always work well so there’s no need to change or try to get better at it ... because you want to always be improving , you want to keep things fresh, stay interested, challenge yourself and others, be happy and motivated , you want to have buy-in and know your thoughts and ideas are respected and considered, and you want to learn as much as you can from others (you can learn from everybody - even if it’s learning what not to do) ... all of this has the goal of sticking at something for both enjoyment and to get better ....and this is transferable to all parts of your life and can be your guide through a successful life, not just a way to get better at basketball or baseball ....
    Ok ,. I’m off my soap box now, but that video and those coaches (especially the head coach) triggered me - in a very good way ... and it reaffirmed/solidified my training ethos that i wanted to write down to make it clear and help keep it stuck in my mind ...

    Baseball is a funny sport. As an infielder, when you are young the balls are hit slower but the runners are fast. It slowly gets turned around as you get older till the big leagues where hit balls are bullets and runners are generally slow. It's still the same game but everything is different.
