Notes
What works in college baseball?
I got to get a hold of this guy!! (Learner)
Think about more of the stuff we DO have, and not what we DON’T have
We are trying to get our kids to be their own best coach
Track
Swing and miss in the zone
Strike %
Avg miss
Swing and miss
Don’t want kids to lock up due to too much information
Kid to kid - coach needs to have an idea
Buy in from the information that puts kids in best position
Information holds coaches accountable
Coaches have an idea of what the kid can handle
Overall goal of pitcher is to get outs efficiently
Videos in locker rooms of guys having success
Before any knowledge you can give them they need to know you care
Communicating with kids is most important to build relationship
How was your day
Are you having a good day
Being there for them
Talk to them outside the baseball field
Ultimately you create more buy in based upon being there for the guys
Be sure the information we are giving guys is allowing them to still play loose and fast.
Do not get caught up in the negative results
Consistently preach your message, so they don’t fear the mistake
Get our guys in a position to understand themselves
Practice
Ton of baserunning - 20/30 minutes
Bullpen pitcher right to the field to take reps off pitcher. Multiple lines to maximize reps.
Live fungo
Individualized as much as we can
Break down each guys movements and plan how to attack it
Be comfortable in an uncomfortable situation
Relief guys don’t throw on a fresh mound!
Start with starters!!
The things that you value the teams are better at
Create a situation that we can help multiple guys
“Competitive moments”
Last thing we do everyday
Little bit uncomfortable
Whole team
Create different situations to compete and outside comfort zone
VMI had 3 guys in the major leagues this year!!
Your best learner is failure
