Episode 10 - Pitcher Personalities

Episode 10 - Pitcher Personalities How Great Catchers Learn to Lead Different Pitchers Your catcher can have five pitchers on the same team... and every single one of them might need something completely different from her. One needs encouragement. One needs accountability. One needs to be challenged. One gives absolutely NOTHING away. And one might bring so much energy that your catcher is the one who has to reel her back in. In Episode 10 of The Gear Up Podcast, Coach Erin is pulling a lesson directly from Gear Up Catching®’s signature Battery Boss® course to break down five of the most common pitcher personalities catchers will encounter behind the plate. Being a great catcher goes beyond receiving, blocking, and throwing. It's about learning how to lead the person standing 43 feet away. Inside this episode, you'll learn: The five pitcher personalities: The Princess, The Head Case, The Tough Cookie, The Silent Type, and The Team Player The strengths and challenges that come with catching each personality How to recognize the early warning signs that your pitcher is starting to struggle What each type of pitcher uniquely needs from her catcher Why great leadership doesn't mean communicating with everyone the same way How knowing your pitcher off the field can make your catcher a stronger leader on it How catchers can evaluate their own communication style and identify which pitchers they lead well and which ones challenge them The biggest takeaway we hope you leave today’s episode with: Your pitcher is a person before she's a pitcher. The best catchers learn how to understand the person in the circle, communicate in a way she responds to, and become the teammate their pitcher can trust when the game gets hard.
