8 Realities of a High School Coach

1. It will consume you
2. There will be critics
3. You are not in it for the $
4. There is no overnight success
5. You need a supportive spouse
6. You will not make everyone happy
7. You can’t want it more than the kids
8. It is still worth it!

Extra-inning postseason baseball does not equate to good sleep.

But damn I love this ...

🚨 DBU 3 Cone Front-Toss

• Set up 3 cones in a line from back foot to front
• Call out a cone before you flip the ball
• Back Cone = Oppo
• Middle Cone = Middle
• Front Cone = Pull

⭐️ Great drill for working on timing & hitting to all fields!

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

James Wood just hit a gargantuan second-deck HR to right center field. Haven’t seen maybe people hit the ball up here. That’s 9 jacks for Wood already.

[Jerry Weinstein @JWonCATCHING]

Obviously a great throw by Tatis. A couple takeaways other than the throw.
1) On a throw from RF the catcher’s initial set up is in foul territory. That gives him a chance to move to HP to make the catch & tag. It also increase his chances/range on throws on the foul side of HP.

James Wood and Nasim Nuñez, aura-farming pals, knocked in all 3 runs in this #Nats win on Tuesday. Both train extensively in the offseason w/ @CoachG_MD on making good contact. The other player in their trio, Trey Lipscomb, hit a HR in Triple-A. A good day for Coach G's guys. 🔥
