    NOTES

    • The experience that I feel is best for kids and the reality it is, we need to find what’s best for us
    • Staying together in the summer and fall has brought us bigger things that baseball
    • Outsourced a strength coach (sports performance coach)
    • The HC needs to monitor it all.
    • Bring in people that the HC can trust and let them work
    • A lot of what you are dealing with is not on the field
    • If you have good people and you trust them that is the best
    • Got to have good players and guys that are willing to work
    • The guy was just a worker! His work ethic stood out
    • They were very prepared in the whole system that prepared them for college
    • Pitching, defense and baserunning is what you do to win games
    • We prioritize pitching, not just fit it into practice
    • In the live stuff we do, that is the most live baserunning situations we can get
    • Play more live! Use the baserunners when pitching on mound
    • Using their eyes to run the bases
    • Base stealing and base running are taught in two different segments
    • Year to year we focus on certain things more than others depending on your team
    • You have to have guys that can do it (vault stealing/ new school leads)
    • You have to have the time to teach it and put it into your program.
