While doing lessons today
Today I saw a kid yell at his dad over and over because each pitch wasn’t perfect. While the mom stood by and shouted every exit velo. The kid in my lesson stopped, and said “my dad would never let me talk to him like that”
The most important part of coaching, is communication.
“Hey bud you are sitting, because I have you slotted to pitch tomorrow.”
When they don’t know the plan they guess. Solve the problem for them
My next lesson, who just recently got cut from his HS team. Went and picked up all the baseballs they didn’t on his own.
Just a friendly reminder that being a good human being goes a long way
