Don’t let your team shy away from challenges — no matter how much good you think it might do.
There is no doubt that emotions kick in when we see our kids getting on base and scoring runs. I want to win as much as anyone, but there is something happening that I have to take issue with.
How many of you know a player who in their heart and mind believes that they have never been thrown a called strike that was really a strike?
One of the most amazing things I have experienced as a coach and even more now as an instructor are the parents or players who think that bad habits or bad techniques are easy to fix.
Coach Tory’s grandfather was a man of few words. He didn’t say a lot, but what he did say carried a lot of weight.
When it comes to improving your skills in fastpitch softball we’re all always fighting to break bad habits and replace them with good habits.
How do we know we are improving? Keep score!
We need to be aware of human nature in our training, in our practices and in how we prepare to play the game.
Players waste a great deal of time and energy on these feelings which gets them nowhere. There’s actually a much bigger potential problem.
Maybe is a dirty word around the softball field.
