In this weeks episode we continue the discussion from last week of coaches getting frustrated when players just don't get what the coach is trying to teach them. Sometimes we don't realize what the players don't know. Last week we talked about outfielders not understanding that they shouldn't make a throw when they have no chance of making a play on the runner. In this case we have to have some drills that gives them a measuring stick of what their capabilities are.

In this weeks episode, we talk about what is appropriate practice based upon where the team is in their season. Practices from pre-season to the beginning are intense and a lot is covered. As the season progresses, practice needs to change based on how much the team is playing, how long they have been playing, physical condition, etc. Listen to get the coaches opinion on how to manage practice time.
