Coaches:
Be careful of following the ball!!
When done well, a team with multiple coaches shouldn’t miss a beat. Designate coaches to specific areas. For example:
• One coach for the outfielders (make sure their positioning is right, they are moving together, their pre pitch is there and they are adjusting to their pitcher and the hitters and watch what they do after the ball is hit, even when it’s not to them).
• One coach for the infielders (make sure they are ready, pre pitch is there, positioning is correct based on outs and hitter, communicating with outfielders and watch what they do after the ball is hit, even when it’s not to them).
• One coach for the pitcher and catcher (watch the pitcher after the ball is hit, make sure they are always moving together back up on a ball to the outfield, pay attention to how they are holding runners and make sure your catcher is getting to the proper stances based on counts and where the runner are and communicating with their pitcher and team well).
When every coach in the dugout follows the ball from the pitcher to the batter to where the ball was hit then to where it’s thrown, too many coachable moments and team development opportunities will be missed every time.
** Take notes throughout the game too!
Good luck out there!
@SportPsychTips The number one job of any coach is to build culture. I define culture three ways.
1. Culture is what you allow.
2. Culture is what you emphasize.
3. Culture is every day.

The #1 job of a coach is to build a culture.
What is culture?
1. Culture is what you allow.
2. Culture is what you emphasize.
3. Culture is every day.
Your culture never arrives. Build it and clean it each and every day.
Culture Wins!
Your assistant coaches reflect your standards.
Not your words.
Your standards.
What are they modeling every day in practice?
That answer tells you everything about your program.
Culture isn't built in a speech.
1. Culture is what you allow.
2. Culture is what you emphasize.
3. Culture is every day.
What are you doing to build your culture today?
