Rundowns
Monday Mar 15, 2021
Monday Mar 15, 2021
In today's episode, I'm going to talk about something that involves the whole team....at least the infielders....but it still includes the pitchers as well.
And not only that, but it's something that can be the difference between winning and losing....we all know is important....yet hardly ever practice.
I'm going to show you how you can practice this everyday and get really good at it.
Today we are talking about Rundowns.

What To Do When Your Pitching Staff Struggles
Monday Mar 08, 2021
Monday Mar 08, 2021
Last week I received a call from a High School Coach I've worked with over the past several years who does a phenomenal job...but his staff was recently struggling.
The bullpens, daily routines, practices, arm care, recovery and more were fantastic....but when they got in the game, it was a disaster.
In today's episode, I'll share with you what I told him and he was able to implement it and create a monster turn around in a very short period of time.

How Long Should Your Daily Routine Take?
Friday Feb 19, 2021
Friday Feb 19, 2021
One of my College Coaching clients called me because he didn't like the way things are going with his pitchers during their pre-practice, daily routine. He felt that things were way too loose and relaxed..especially for his taste, and he wanted to know if I had anything new for him that he could try?
After a little detective work, we were able to discover that what was currently going on was more of the problem than needing to introduce anything new to them.
In this episode, I'll share with you what we discussed and how it will help you with your program.

Lower Half Connection Hack
Tuesday Sep 01, 2020
Tuesday Sep 01, 2020
I'm sure you know how important the lower half is to a pitcher.
So the real question is...is the pitcher getting everything out of his lower half?
Or is he "Disconnecting" too early and losing everything he's got and placing more stress and responsibility on his arm?
In this episode, I'll explain to you a quick and easy little "hack" you can do immediately to check to see if your pitchers are losing their lower half or not.

Dealing With Criticism
Friday Aug 28, 2020
Friday Aug 28, 2020
If you are going to be a coach and put yourself in a position of leadership...you are going to take some heat from time to time.
But having that responsibility of being that guide, mentor and leader is not for everyone anyways.
So if you are going to do it...it comes with the territory.
You don't have to like it....I hate it every time it happens to me...but it's part of the gig.
In this episode, I'll share with you a couple stories of criticisms I've experienced, as well as a strategy that I use that seems to help me handle them and keep moving and I hope that it will help you too!
