Show Notes

After you win a championship no one cares

Servant club called WAR - Christmas time going and volunteer, doing something for veterans

Who are you going to serve?

We need champions for kids

I can’t find a good story, nothing positive.

Kids follow the model that we set for them

Going to a Unified sports meet 

2 minutes at the beginning or end of the practice to set the mood (mentality)

2 hour vacation from life

Make an error, take your hat off, and when your ready put it back on

The kids changed me as I discovered their stories

RELATIONSHIPS

Its not black and white - its not

Restorative justice

Normal is what you know

Each week is a theme

“Season of Life” book by Joe UrmanWhy do I coach

Why do I coach the way I do?

What is it like to be coached by me?

Two other questions

How can you project a kid ability?

Everyone is a pitcher until they are not

Be unusual - usual gets SMASHED

Most guys are not 90 mph kids so they should

Power, crafty, funky, arm plane (sidearm, submarine), hide the ball, timing wrecker, one pitch guy

Know your kids and the better relationship with the kid the easier it is to put them in a role

How are the kids feet? Good feet and footwork = good arm plane guy

When the pitcher shows you their pocket, hitter shows you their pocket

Sidearm - be quick, great movement, emulate the hili paddle (throw with a bent arm)

Keys of pitching - Location, velocity, movement, deception

How well do you know the kid?

Go find good coaches, and study them!

2 worst things are pop ups and strikeouts

More games are lost than won

Slashing is helping give us a chance to stay out of the air and not strikeout

Ball, close, and a strike and you better be swinging at 2 of them!

Mindset that is self made and self motivated, and have to want to do it!  Finding ways to make himself better.  I want to be better!
