The younger they are, the more patience you must have with them. You must see the long road, not just the next weekend....

Cage Conversations: The mental model matters, whatever or however you see it, is what you will try and create.
What is long? What is short?

[Carlton Salters @CoachCSalt]

Yes performance on the weekend matters but you need to be setting yourself up for the long game of improvement. If you arent doing that, then you will be behind with the physical skill gap closes and it going to close at some point.

[Carlton Salters @CoachCSalt]

A recurring theme when speaking with parents that went to camps during the fall/spring is how college coaches are imploring players to get used to training against shapes, speeds, angles and high intensity and some pressure from the ball.

[Carlton Salters @CoachCSalt]

Too many freshmen are showing up never having worked in environments like that and its severely hampering their ability to adapt and adjust to the demands of a college practice session. Too many players and parents want to play the short game (only worried about the next weekend)

Had a great weekend with my team at the IG Warm Up!

Stayed patient at the plate (7 walks and a double in 5 games) and felt good defensively. Excited to compete at the TC Texas State Championships in Plano this weekend!

Two completely different players, you can clearly see them rotating around different legs. @Isabella791460 @Jilly_Gonzales6

The orientation change, arms are inside of rotation and in front of the body.

[Carlton Salters @CoachCSalt]

The ability to pay attention is a sought after skill.
Do you pay attention? Do you pay attention to the correct things? Do you continually make outs the same way? Do you know why? To be a good hitter you need to pay attention

[Carlton Salters @CoachCSalt]

You threw me change earlier in the game....
I know you're going to it, I know I'm going to get one and I'm going to get you.

[Carlton Salters @CoachCSalt]

Both of them were sitting Change, Grant missed hers, Woolery didnt.

Now more than ever players need a healthy relationship with the game.
A great perspective on outcomes, understanding things they can and cant control.
Clear set of goals that arent outcome based and a healthy perspective on their performance.

Family Fun Day with @DSASTX although we wanted nothing to do with the bubbles 😄

Cage Convos
1. You create the conditions that cause that bat to come from the side.
2. The entire bat rotates.
3. Using the bat better should give you more advantages.
One of them is the ability to just concentrate on the ball because you're no longer concerned about the bat.

One of them is the ability to just concentrate on the ball because you're no longer concerned about managing the bat.
