Doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest path - but it always pays off in the end. Even if it’s years until the reward comes.
When you’re in those gray areas, you have to trust your gut. Make the choice to do the right thing even if it’s difficult at the current time.

More coaches need to realize that they don’t have all the answers. When players buy-in and want to learn, and coaches are continuously learning and trying to get better by learning more about the game to better teach their players, that leads to success.

Funny, guess who had to talk about this today with our underclassmen? 🤷♂️
PLAYING CATCH is the most important fundamental skill of the game. The teams that play catch the best are generally the one's who win the most because they simply take care of the baseball.

*player goes out 100 ft
*2 throws later
“I’m good coach!”
Long Toss means throwing a far distance. Push yourself to get stronger. Push yourself to be better. Don’t just settle and rush through the “warm up”. A game of catch is so much more than a warm up, yet most take it as one

“Be better than My Bad” is one of the best things I’ve seen. All too often I say and hear people say “my bad” without even a thought.
Definitely something to think about, not just on a baseball team, but with every area of our lives. Show that you truly care.

All position guys AND pitchers: your catch play is the best time to improve your throwing/footwork/delivery whatever it is. If you can’t do it while simply playing catch, it won’t happen in drills or in games.
PITCHERS: it’s not only on a mound when you work on your delivery. Every time you throw the ball is a chance for you develop as a pitcher, especially when you are playing catch. Take pride in HOW you play catch and you’ll become a better pitcher.

Some summer ball thoughts:
1 No college is going to ask for the team’s record or how many tournaments you won
2 Join a team that is best for your development as a ballplayer (especially off-season development). A 6-week summer season won’t dramatically change your level of play

GC baseball flirted with perfection today against Clarenceville! Senior Kevin Widmer took a perfect game into the final inning before a leadoff error ended perfection and a 2-out single took away the no-no. Still a spectacular outing with 10K and 0BB for Kevin!

Heard a story once from a D1 college coach who said he went to watch a kid, didn’t like his attitude and was about to leave. Saw a kid sprint onto the field and he stayed to watch that kid cause of that. Ended up giving the kid a scholarship. This really does happen!
Scouts are watching your every move. Remember this when you step on the field. Sometimes the tiebreaker between you and another guy is the fact that the other guy sprints on and off the field between innings. Bust your butt, be a teammate, and everything will fall into place.

Efforts takes zero talent! It does take you swallowing your pride and ego and not “looking pissed off” that you popped a ball up.
Finish the play and hustle!
Effort yields extra bases.
Extra bases lead to runs.
Runs win games.
EFFORT WINS.

Last practice i was not happy at all with our defensive focus during BP. So today, we changed BP into a BP scrimmage with an odd scoring system:
+1 Hard Hit Ball
+1 Run Scored
+5 Defensive Web Gem
+5 Win the Inning
Boy was it fun watching them play defense today

Players be LOUD with your communication! Don’t be afraid to say the wrong thing, or to embarrass yourself by yelling.
You have to get over the noise of the crowd, other players, and noises away from the field to make sure your teammate hears you.
COMMUNICATION: the most underrated aspect of team fundamentals.
Whether you are getting the out on a bunt, executing a rundown, or throwing the ball back in on a relay, you should always be talking on the field. The diamond isn’t a library!

Everything you do is a choice. Your day, your game, your life is just a series of choices.
Win each decision. We CHOOSE how we act, how we focus, what we pay attention to, what we prioritize.
Yes, things happen, but we choose how to respond.
Control what we can control.

Most important thing in coaching is building a relationship with your guys. You won’t get anything out of them until they trust you.
That trust can go a long way. It does not matter what you know until you have that trust from them.

Playing the OF is not a punishment in upper levels of baseball. Kids are taught in Little League and youth ball that best guys play infield and if you’re bad you’re stuck in the outfield.
Good teams HAVE to have good outfield play. The reads to make & athleticism to make plays

“Teams teach their players as if they know nothing so they can all get on the same page and move forward as a team”
Yet at the HS level, we’re often “too good” to go back to basics. HS kids, if the pros aren’t too good for it, you aren’t either!
One of the coolest things about
#SpringTraining
is how
@MLB
clubs’ workouts look a lot like summer baseball camp. In many ways, teams teach their players as if they know nothing so they can all get on the same page and move forward as a team.

Some of the best, most impactful conversations with players come away from the field or with an unexpected question, and with no distractions or time constraints to the conversation.

When you skip a rep or take a break behind the coach’s back, don’t think of it as getting away with something. You’re only hurting yourself. You’re cheating yourself by “getting away with it”.
Coaches notice everything. We may not hand out a punishment, but we notice.

100%. This is great Paul.
Spend time really teaching the game in practice and challenge players in an environment where they are encouraged to be unafraid to fail, knowing mistakes will be there.
Then, step back and actually let the guys enjoy playing the game on game day

When you’re facing a tough pitcher:
1. Get on the fastball with your timing. You need to be smooth with your load to get there on time/in control. You can make adjustments on offspeed if you aren’t rushing.
2. Stay mentally tough and compete, even when your team is struggling.

I’m convinced of the only right answer to this question after our tournament this weekend:
Which is faster?
a) watching grass grow
