@CoachSwit I’ve been in the position before where we ran out of arms to safely use and forfeited next bracket play game. Player safety is more important than a picture holding a banner.

[Ryan Risedorph @RisedorphRyan]

I always get a chuckle out of the coach that says, “next year we should be good, we’ll have all upperclassmen returning” and then just simply do nothing to build upon it and continue to do same old stuff that fails them.

For next year...If you want what you've never had (league title, national championship, etc.).
You have to do something you've never done.

Scoreboards measure results. Coaches measure impact.

[GSP Baseball & Softball Training @GSP_Hitting]

Metrics are celebrated too often without any context.

Metrics mean nothing to me without intangibles

Intangibles
- Work ethic
- Competitiveness
- Attitude
- Discipline
- Decision making on/off the field
- Coachability

There’s more but you get the point.

[ABCA @ABCA1945]

We track everything in baseball—except one of the most important things.

“Momentum is built through the plays most people overlook.”

It’s not always the highlight plays.
It’s running hard. Taking the extra 90. Getting the leadoff out. Finishing innings.

The teams that understand momentum don’t wait for it—they create it.

Tis the season!

[Baseball Dudes Inc. 🇺🇸⚾️ @BaseballDudes48]

Hello Coach, nice to meet you!!

You name it, I’ve probably experienced every type of coach, and coaching style, out there. Who are you??

Happy go lucky…
Everything is good! The results don’t matter. “Just have fun!”

The drill Sargent…
Everything is done in unison. We do everything as a team. Running is a punishment. There’s always an angry tone. It’s never good enough.

The over-thinker…
They have something to say ALL THE TIME!! They critique every little thing. Their mind and mouth run on high octane constantly. They feel the need to control every aspect of everything.

How can I help YOU…
They are all in on YOU. They are there to help YOU. And will do anything to help YOU.

The red a**…
Bitter, bitter, and more bitter. There’s a good chance they feel they didn’t reach the next level because someone screwed them. Athletes will struggle to live up to their standards. They are often loud and salty.

The legend…
They live up to the hype. They only speak when it will be impactful. They sit back and observe. Their demeanor speaks to their experience and knowledge.

The front runner…
They love you when you’re doing well and want to talk to you but when you’re struggling, you’re their enemy.

Mr. Negative…
All they talk about is everything you’re doing wrong. Rarely, if ever, is there something positive coming out of their mouth. Every team meeting is consumed with everything to fix, change, and mistakes made.

The mechanics guy…
They are going to bombard you with every mechanical movement they know all at the same time because they feel it’s their job to.

Your buddy…
They want to be your friend. Give you a bro shake. But at the same time, want you to take them serious.

High energy…
They bring the energy!! Jumping up and down, often very loud, enjoy the spotlight, love to be heard.

Jekyll & Hyde…
Beware, we don’t know who coach will be today. Happy yesterday, angry today. Positive one minute, flipped a switch in the next. Players, be careful!!

Me, me, me…
They think the game is about them. They feel they are the reason for wins (but not the losses). They see you and your ability as a ticket to their advancement.

Coaching isn’t an easy gig and there are many ways to go about it. Different player respond to different coaching styles. In the end it’s about improvement and enjoying your sport. There is a lot of personal responsibility that goes into to that but the coaching piece can help too.

I feel the good ones are a mix of things but no matter who you end of being around, learn something, even if that means how you DON’T want to be if you coach someday.

Some great sportsmanship here as @cminutemen Mason Bailey offers condolences to @nridgeathletics Preston Ryan after the Minutemen's extra inning win at the 4A Goshen Sectional. @IHSAA1

[Kretz Files @CoachRonKretz]

Most coaches say they want leaders.

But very few coaches actually teach leadership.

Leadership is often assumed instead of developed.
