Coach Peter Caliendo shares some very short tips, and these will be expanded on our Baseball Outside the Box with Peter Caliendo First up Game-Speed Training vs. Repetition.

Too many players still spend hours in low-pressure reps. But baseball happens at speed—and if we want kids to react, make decisions, and elevate performance, we need to simulate real game chaos. It's not just about doing drills—it's about doing them under time, stress, and motion.

Next Mental IQ First. Baseball’s a mental game. Physical tools get you noticed, but IQ wins championships. How many players truly understand pitch sequencing, baserunning angles, or defensive positioning.

Coaches let’s talk about teaching the why behind the how. And let’s look globally. From Japan’s precise fundamentals to Latin America's flair and rhythm—these countries train different, and they develop instinctive, respectful, and passionate ballplayers. I’ve seen it firsthand, and we can all learn something from it.

One more Micro-Skills Matter. Everyone loves the big stuff—home runs, strikeouts—but let’s not ignore the catch-transfer-throw sequence. Efficiency on a basic ground ball might be the difference in a close game.

Finally Coaching with Collaboration. Dictatorship coaching is out. Dialogue is in. Let players co-create their training plans. When they’re invested, they develop faster and deeper—and they stay in the game longer.
