Tips

Communication

Said no coach ever: Keep it down out there! Stop all that defensive chatter. Vocal leaders are hard to come by. Especially ones that are sincere and authentic… communicating because there’s something relevant or important to say.

BACK TO FRONT, FRONT TO ARMS

From my understanding, this is the path described as “the kinetic chain.” This is how we build and produce a pulse of power… transfer it forward, only to capture/catapult/and add more power to that burst… and then transfer it into the hands.

BEST DAY EVER

Ryan Fuller. Ever heard of him? I hadn’t either. Ryan was just hired by the Baltimore Orioles to coach hitters and Class A ball in Maryland. I shared a roundtable discussion with Ryan recently and was fortunate to hear some of his cutting edge opinions and teaching techniques.

ATHLETICISM

Baseball has turned into a job for many. With single sport specialization pushing younger and younger, college and professional coaches are starting to see single-sport robots arriving on campus.

Algorithms

“If this, then that.” Algorithms are a great way to make decisions easy, get in front of disciplinary issues, and create non-emotional rules for your squad.
