Using data to drive instruction | Pocket Radar [INT]

What this episode covers

We have a bonus episode for you! We were approached by PocketRadar because they wanted to introduce their new product, the SmartCoach radar to the softball world, and we immediately know it was a great fit! If you’re a softball coach and haven’t heard of their handheld radar gun, you mayyyy be living under a rock. We’re here to today to discuss how you can use their radars to help your players get better, faster! There are no shortcuts to top performance, but there is a more efficient way to train. And not just physical skills- mental, too! We are thrilled to share our conversation with Pocket Radar’s President & COO Chris Stewart and CEO Steve Goody! In this episode, we discuss how the PocketRadar products can help improve your players’ mental game by: * Improving their confidence with accurate data they can trust * Helping your players focus on the right feedback in order to improve * Staying engaged in practice using fun competition * Focusing on the process of getting a little better each day * Staying committed through measurable goal-setting * Improving consistency by tracking data * Taking away some of the fear of injury by knowing and watching your numbers, and * Their tip for coaches that you can start implementing today! Today’s bonus! We’ve put all of the tips for improving your player’s mental game using the PocketRadar products in an easy-to-reference infographic! We hope this will help you use data consistently, throughout the season, to develop your girls’ mental toughness! I’ve you’ve already started to implement the mental game, want more guidance and resources for building it into everything you do (especially when your time is limited and have a limited budget), consider joining our Mental Sweet Spot Academy!
