Watch a big league game tonight and watch why they step out of the box and do what they do Baseball class all year long Use classroom to show the WHY Give them a paper, what are you going to do to let that go? WRITE it down, and then practice it!! I want to see it!! Every time something bad happens, we need to do something. Before practice starts we do mental training and just listen, breath, and relax. Contain yourself, calm yourself down, and get back to green lights. We work on it in the weight room too! Control your breathing Different kids learn different ways I love the game so much I can listen and learn from them so much I want to continue to learn and be a student of the game, don’t ever stop learning I want to see my kids be successful I want them experience that type of success My heart has laces on it!! Pitching need to attack the zone Ways to compete in the zone We want quality PITCH (not strike) Play horse with 9 hole net I want them to know WHY we throw those pitches Pitchers should have a good routine Pre game to be ready for game time Players can come up with their own routine Type it up, laminate it, keep it with them Hitters - routine and approach at the plate (mental approach) Attack fastballs early in the count Each of them have their approach HS goal - hit a double in oppo gap Pitch dictates Feeling things is one of the best things you can do to get better Flat bats Palm up through the ball, no rollover Chart hard hit balls (self scout) Not yelling instruction while guy is at the plate Having the correct mindset and approach is where the at bat is won!! A3P - after 3 pitches, what happens within first 3 pitches 13 pitches of less each inning - we chart Chart on the wall to see how their inning went Tell him how confident we are with him to help with A3P, tell him how good our defense is to make a play for him (make 100% of the routine plays), throw the ball in a spot and do your job. They don’t have to be the best baseball player, they just need to believe they are! Practice planning Arm care - bands and arms up Mental break - lay down, listen, breath, and just be quiet Brian cain daily dominator Practice plan Catch play Fungo work BP session Cages - focus bats, flat bats, regular bats On field Bunt, hit and run, behind runner, score runner, firework show!! Baserunning group Defensive group Cage group Group guys based on all levels Baserunning every other day and at the beginning of practice Not every lead is good for everybody Vaulting (jump) lead is not good for everyone, but others is sooooo good Tight turns Break up infield and outfield to teach/throw and then switch Grass, dirt grass = 1st/3rd Dirt, then grass, and side to side = 2 bases 3 days a week year round In season - one light day, heavy day, and one recovery day Be open and honest with trying new things, but if I don’t know why then we won’t do it Give them a goal to allow them to be successful, Find the best way for them to learn Allowing kids to grow into their body before you make big time decisions to see where they may end up. Show them that you care!! The things they learn from the basebal field is what they will take long after they are done playing I want to get as many wedding invitations
