Episode Notes

Cal Bailey really knew how to connect with players

As a baseball coach was a continuous learner, books on the bus, asking questions

Negatives in the office, praise in front of the team

Promised a good college baseball experience, serve the community, care!

Competition is our number one priority (cages, weight room, everything!)\Barrels in the cage

Attacking our irrational beliefsWhen an action happens (ump bad call) you react negatively with bad self talk

“Are you that bad of a player that everything needs to go right for you to win?”

Marketing your brain (whiteboard on a mirror, seeing your intentions)A - Activating Event (bad circumstance)

B - Belief system (my perception of the event)

C - Consequence 

D - Disputing those beliefs (do I have to have everything go right for me?

E - Executing the new belief (positive self talk)

Have players create their own processes and release (ownership)

If I talked to you the way you are talking to yourself you wouldn’t like me very much! ~ Cal Bailey mound visit

Classroom sessions are as needed, and sometimes may be just for a player

“Social stretching” - time to just stretch and relax and get the talking out of our system

Use Google Drive to drop in resources for each player, and their specific needs

Given a goal during a practice or consequence after practice (pants in the weightroom)
