    Kids haven’t changed!!
    We set the tone and expectations for kids and kids will respond
    If you are organized and they know you care you can build the culture
    The big change has been the parents and travel/showcase baseball with a lot more selfishness
    Teaching the kids what I want them to know!
    What are we trying to get out of this from a personal perspective, 
    Constantly trying to reinforce what I want them to understand
    You can’t assume! You need to teach
    Personal goals come behind the team goals
    Have a resume with me so I can share with college coaches
    Brick by brick - how we build our championship season
    Feeling good is overrated!! 
    If your behaviors are not matching up with your goals, then you need to change your goals!!
    Commitment, self motivation, and completely driven
    Same consistency on and off the field
    I am not intimidated by people that are smarter than me, I encourage it!
    The big 5 (routines of core drill work)
    Short hops, ozzie drill (knees), 3 step, 5 step, choose your hop
    Check out his YouTube channel! 
    Once you build routines then players can execute without coaches being around
    Train them up so they can build their routines
    Throwing routines are huge! 
    Each position has a specific routine to help them get better!
    Understand the WHY!! Not just that you saw it on Twitter
    The mental game is hugely underrated
    We define the 6th tool to train the tough mind
    Allow your kids freedom and permission to fail to be free some being tight
    Have a blend of giving freedom and your expectations

    Who the person is, what works best for them, and how to implement it to help them
    Know what to focus and focus on it at the right time
    If you have the ability to turn on and off what you want to focus on is a big separator.
    It is just as important to turn off as it is turn on
    Reset routines (looking at the foul pole, deep breath, visualize) to help focus better
    When you change the routine you are messaging your body that something is wrong
    Contingency plan (plan when I fail) - being aware of when I am struggling and stop and work your plan
    Be whatever you want it to be as long as it has MEANING
    INTERNAL MOTIVATION is the biggest factor and separator
    Bridging the gap between old school and new school while maintaining confidentiality by creating relationships with players and coaches
    Number 1 is build trust with players
    Be around, be there to help build trust and show you care about the person first (say hello, how YOU doing), baseball player second
    KNOW THYSELF
    Growth mindset and fixed mindset, educate people of where they fall, and which one would help their career, and then work to get/keep that mindset
    Culture, Coaches, and Players are the priority of mental skills to be part of the lifestyle
    Routines, Being in the present moment, Inside your control (process not outcome)
    Being in the present moment - self talk, use deep breath, 
    You can't know what’s in your head without being in your head
    Has to be practiced outside of the game
    I work myself out of a job!!! 
    Mental skills need to be danced not wrestled to the ground and forced
    Mental skills need to start with the WHY, then HOW, and finish with WHAT
    Use the everyday skills (make your bed, brush your teeth) as foundational mental skills to implement in the game
    Let’s focus on how we studied versus the grade I got (process versus outcome)
    Implementing it on a daily basis
    Not having electronics at the table to instill being present!
    When you are evaluating yourself evaluate what you can control!! 
    Refine the mindset to focus on the process not the result - here is why you made an A (I know how hard you worked to get that A)
    Praise the process and be consistent
    Reward the things that people can control!! Attitude, effort, preparation (control your APE)

    Hand shake distance (visual out in front)
    Know your player to know how much they need to know Some guys need more, some less
    All about relationshipsAsk guys and open communication
    Just need to talk
    Understanding the learning style - verbal, picture, kinesthetic
    Know how much you care before they care how much you know
    They need to trust me with their career and show them they can trust me
    Have a plan with open communication
    Get feedback after a drill about how they feel and if it work for the players
    Foundation is the relationship with the players, and its not about ME! 
    Once base skills are there then go position specific
    Corner guys lower and different groundballs
    Middle guys more lateral and different groundballs

    Starting double plays with accurate throws
    Good first baseman and good catcher will prevent a lot of runs and will not lose games for you!
    Playing multiple positions to perform different movements to help with athleticism
    Wall drills!Throw over shoulder
    Throw bag down and first baseman steps to bag and picks
    Shuffle off bag and catch groundball off wall
    Instruct it first, model it, and be there, and then float and let them go
    Make a checklist of everything you want to cover as a group
    Make a checklist of everything you want to cover as individual (position)
    Spend time on the things that happen in the game more frequently
    Stick to your time and just end it! 
    Angles towards the base or ball. Be deliberate on the practice that they do more frequently
    Collect data that will help you design practice and specifically get better
    Pay attention to angle taken
    Pay attention to the time needed to make play
    Where are they consistently making errors? Chart that so you can practice their errors
    Good infielders have:Footwork - 
    Proper way to play catch
    Develop arm strength and proper arm angle 
    Hands
    If there is a problem with their body that is symptomatic of them making errors then you have to put in the time to determine when to work on it
    Foundationally kids catch the ball one handed and we have to teach them to put the other hand there, so let them be free and promote one hand more
    Catcher, pitcher, and first baseman are all one handed catchers.
    High IQ as an infielder
    Keep the game slow, can slow the game down, control their breathing
    Fail more in practice
    Short memory - take glove off, turn around, and then come back to the hitter when you are ready
    Practice each moment and those time you are trying to stay under control
    Practicing even in your life, not just in baseball
    Put a success rate on a drill, high or low difficulty to allow them to push themselves
    At intersquad every batter is 3-2 count to create game like atmosphere and chaos!

    Triggers - coach yelling, good pitcher (to find a trigger do a daily checklist of when you were fixed or open to find reoccurring events)
    Trying new skills - “neuroplasticity”
    Recurring theme is self awareness - if you are not aware of yourself we can’t make changes

    EPISODE NOTES
     
    Parental influence and delusion is a lot higher now 
    Never hand out guarantees, a lot can change, and what motivation is that going to give them
    Be true to yourself, don’t try to be someone else
    Be fair and have standards and hold guys accountable
    Each player accountable and coach needs to hold the best player to the standard to the weakest
    Believe in the baseball gods where if you take care and do the right thing, the game will reward you!
    Day to day do the right thing will reward you
    Some guys need longer rope, and some guys you need to be on. Need to understand the kid
    How they adjust to failure will dictate their successful 
    Learn how to channel the frustration of the failure into understanding of how to handle themselves and respect themselves and not draw negative attention
    You need to take something valuable away from them to get the point across
    The longer you coach you understand how other coaches manage - get on umpires, small bunt, big inning, etc
    Treat each game more special than the other, treat each game the same and on an even keel
    Press those buttons when it is necessary to get the team going.
    You can do everything you can do as a coach, but if the kid doesn’t perform, there is nothing we can do
    Trust your gut, and be willing to live with the consequences
    You play the odds, but you can’t be consumed by the odds (surprise factor)
    Baseball teaches life lessons
    Kids maturity not only shows up in athletics but in life or academics, and just handle themselves better
    Good players have allowed us me to be consistent
    You try to get good player, good kids, and academics, and hopefully we get 2 out of 3. 
    Success breads success - expect to win, teach players to win. NOT hoping to win
    Don’t fear your opponent, Respect your opponent!
    Have to have a formula (standards) and hold your guys accountable
    I have to be able to trust you (the player) to give you the ball
    If we know the result won’t happen, then it is dumb to go with the play

    So much of coaching is timingWhen to get on more, less based on who they are
    Send the client a questionnaire to know the player better
    Before you have a relationship with a player a player does not feel comfortable, so the questionnaire helps that relationship
    Making visuals for players - gifs, powerpoints, 
    Video is still the best place for players to see what they are doing
    Ask questions about what happened in the game to get context because that matters most
    Helping kids get recruited because no player of mine should not have to hire a recruiting service
    Game footage of hitter from a good angle
    Coach needs to help and be honest with the college coach
    PBR (prep based reports) is good for a baseline sophomore/junior year
    Good fit and best fit rather than getting hung up on division
    Grades are super important to make it easy on yourself
    Killer mindset #1 tool for a good hitter
    With a killer mindset it will get you out of a slump earlier! 
    Coming up with content for clients to be able to access to get into their headspace
    Be less negative instead of more positive when you are struggling so you can “get to neutral”
    Anything time you say out loud it is 4 to 5 times more impactful!
    ~Don’t say stupid stuff to yourself out loud!
    Are we giving guys time for the player to get ready, guys need freedom to find what works for them
    Better to incorporate killer mindset in team settingLeaderboards
    The great players have a plan, approach, and not freaking out, and not giving away at bats
    In the cage they are clearly working on something
    Fixed mindset versus growth mindset players
    “It takes what it takes” by Trevor Moahwad
    Quick tuneups don’t work - it takes time to be great!  You have to practice way more than seeing a private instructor or team practice
    Deliberate practiceLocked in and focused
    Have a purpose
    Accomplishing a specific task
    It's not about how much time, it's about the quality of time spent!

    Legacy by James Kerr
    Change while you are on top to avoid decline and extend growth
    Evaluate yourself as a coach when your player no longer needs you after they leave you!
    Ask why, so the players own it and empower the players.
    Experience has taught me that I did not give them enough skills to be their best coach
    This has taught us balance, and perspective on what really matters. Good time to pause and reflect 
    Do as good a job with a balance and perspective as possible
    Went to see Chad Bradford to learn about submarine pitching
    Peacock feathers of a pitching staff (all different arm angles)
    Same ratio between arm and shoulder/elbow, it is just a bend at the waist (hinge)
    Do a ton or core and stability because you go to weaker position (bent over)
    Stay down and stay in it
    Body organizes itself
