Thread: Learning is awesome. And what I have learned as a coach is we need to create environments where players can learn. Becoming a father helped me understand this process even more.

2023. We will put a video of mocking a kid for winning the wrong way and it will have 1000 comments and 20K views.
Put a video up of an athlete praying during a dog pile. Crickets.
Negative sells. Negative gets likes. The world is mad right now
This right here is absolutely awesome. When you see it you'll get it. I noticed it live. Awesome stuff ✝️

Can you say this to your teammates. Try it. Try being that guy.
It's easy to turn on TV and see how crazy good he is. But others could be also if they had the mindset to outwork everyone.

Whoa. #UVA Tony Bennett
Turns down raise and asked to provide raises to his staff
Then
Donates $500K to school for a career development program to assist athletes that go pro in something other then their sport
Pretty amazing stuff a coach putting others infront of himself

As we see tweets about Trout and Harper contracts and using it to tell kids to play the OF. Let's remember.
Mike Trout was SS through HS
Bryce Harper was a catcher through HS
Moral of the story.
Learn to hit and they will find a place for you.

I have searched for this clip probably 1000 times. The day I need to hear it the most. I finally found it. This take has stuck with me since I was a teenager & something I feel I have lived by since. Anytime I get asked "what's your goals" and I say I don't have goals. Here's why

When the pitch is too slow but you load correctly you can delay the launch even tho your foot got down. All back all fwd hitters cant make this adjustment.

Some solid comments & advice in this take. It's not easy writing that lineup everyday. You know someone is gonna hurt. Players shouldn't take it personal. Keep pushing for your moment. You never know when it's gonna be your turn. Negative energy thru the process will only hurt u

When guys say "I would have played for free to have a shot at mlb" realize they did. You had a shot in HS and had a shot in College. That was your shot? And it was decided you weren't good enough to get paid to play. But don't be confused. We all had our "shot"

Seniors who signed. Enjoy it. Soak it up. Throw a party.

Next year. No one cares about today. No one cares how big your offer was. You are with sharks who have a hell of a lot more experience then you.

Better then any lessons. This is pretty advanced skill honestly.
This ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
A kid may not have the perfect swing. A kid may throw weird. A kid may clank the catch. But if that kid is having fun playing the game, he’ll keep playing the game.
COACHES/PARENTS: Let our game be just that... a game. A fun game.

I hope HS players are watching th3 Vandy MissState game. Vandy goes 1st to 3b nearly every time a ball is hit thru.
That 90ft is there more often then you think.
Good break. Run hard. Good reads. Decision Is made before They get to 2b.
Great baseball

Attack first dang driveable fastball. Stop letting them pass. Step in the box ready to do damage. Make the pitcher uncomfortable to toss one in the zone. Then. The hits and walks will come. Stop hitting from behind.

Bregman interview after he collected

"Still have room to improve still want to do better. As far as the RBI. That's a team statistic that speaks to my great teammates"

For all u guys who
Complain abt not being a starter
Complain abt not being on A team
Complain abt play out of position
Complain abt playing time
Remember #NickFoles. Had his role. Embraced his role. Prepared for the moment the team MAY need him

Biggest complaint I hear from college coaches.
Kids aren't coming in knowing how to win.
They are having to teach kids how to compete everyday and fight to win.
Why. Bc The youth model is flawed. We play more then we practice and use the game as another form of practice

Baseball needs more athletes. Not more swingers. Not more throwers. More athletes. If we can get baseball players MOVING better and MOVING more efficiently then we will have HEALTHIER HITTERS AND PITCHERS. This should be the goal of any coach. Skill will come. Create athletes

I have found one of the coolest parts of coaching is seeing how the kids you coach treat your own kid. I'll forever be greatful for all the ball players who have an impact on my son. Yall have no clue how big of an impression you have on him. THANK UOU

My man Lane went 0-2 last night in 10U Little League. After the game all I could talk about was how proud I was when he was playing LF and a ball went past 2b into RF he ran over to back up 3b in foul territory. Dudes never been taught that. Learned it watching the game.

Lane starts coach pitch this yr. Needs a bat. Googled what bat & finding ones over $170
That's flat insane
Talk abt why kids are walking away. Its that.
With that. Lane will swing the $40 last year close out special.
He will be taught to say
"Its the Indian not the arrow"

If your scared cause your college signed more then 5 players and there are a couple who play your position. Your proving the reason they signed more then you. Scared to compete. If you can't compete during the week. What makes u think u can compete on weekends

My man Lane said the only backpack he wanted this year was @RazorbackBSB one so he can be like @KevinKopps. Have a feeling he will want to wear his Call the Kopps shirt on his first day. Love my son has amazing people to look up to.

I love it when guys say
"If I had practice facilities like these kids do I would have made it to the bigs"
People. The facility doesn't make the player work harder or want it more.
Ask those who have made it from the Domincan what their facility was like.

Everyone pointing the finger at everything they can at the reason for arm injuries. Few will look in mirror.
You can't convince me the amount of baseball played from 9 to 18 isn't by far the leading cause. Constantly playing thru peak development stages.

Not everyone can hit Homers. But everyone can hit doubles. Drive the ball over the infield and bust it out of the box thinking two until its not.

Having a QAB is one thing. Trying to check on box on QAB sheet during the at bat is another.
Heater middle middle take
Heater middle middle take
Ball, ball, ball
Heater foul ball
Heater foul ball
Heater middle middle take or chase strike 3
That is not quality. 8 pitches or not

This message right here is it. Make sure your athletes understand sport is what we do not what defines us. It isn't what defines our love for them as parents and coaches. It can be a dark place when they think their performance in sport is what defines them

Base running.
1. This isn't all about speed
2. It's about lead & secondary
3. It's about knowing IF positioning pre pitch (3b)
4. It's about reaction time off bat
5. It's about hustling
It doesn't take just 80 speed to do this. It just takes ball player wanting to win

Lost for the right words tonight. I lost a man that meant so much to me. A man I looked up to. A man I wanted to be. A man who counseled me. A man who saw the best in me. A man who accepted the worse in me. Prayers to his beautiful family and all the people he impacted.

I was today years old when I learned this. TBH I always thought the 90ft mark was the peg for each base. Never thought it was edge of bag. But to know now it's back edge on corner bags and peg at 2b is really messing with me. Lol.

Baseball IQ. Perfect call at Perfect time.
1. Recognized early it could be there
2. Found the highest leverage time. Two Outs 2nd 3rd 2 run game. Slow runner at 2b looking to extend lead to help score
3. Got the call to the dugout to get to the P pitchcom.
This is playin ball

There is a reason we practice the hop. Both these guys feet are OFF the ground when ball is hit and their decision where to go is made.
Hit the ground running.
