Had my youngest (8th/incoming Fr) in the barn tonight at her request. 50-70 balls working on rockets, change-ups & aggressive takes. I noticed something. She got lazy with her posture/depth (fatigue). You can't use your legs if youre not in them. Butt down, my friends.
@qbcoach18@matty1 To be 100% clear, the brawl started when Pinella grabbed the straps of the chest protector, trying to keep him from making rhe next play. He thought it was gamesmanship. Have a fist or 5 for your gamesmanship.
50 years, 2 knee replacements & a hip replacement later, I still wouldn't test my dad. It's hilarious to me that Pinella did when he was in his prime.
@mikelatessa He went to UNH on a basketball scholarship. "Cool, I'll play baseball, too, and let's wrestle in my down time. " Dad was & is different.
When evaluating a coach/teacher/doctor, truly anyone…ask them “Tell me a time when you thought you were completely incompetent.”
If they can’t think of one they’re probably on Mt. Stupid.
@GowagsKyle My HS junior is the perfectionist, working for the best grades & taking AP courses. Her older cousin laughs at her & says, "C's get degrees."
Before calling pitches to locations in LL-HS, how about just challenging the hitter to do the hardest thing in sports (squarely hit a sphere with a cylinder). When they do, "We've got gloves!!"
Youth coaches: Please teach your fiielders the difference between a force play and a tag play and to get off the base when there is no play. This middle-school 3B could have legally gotten trucked twice, and nobody wants that.
