Notes
Not going to settle
Getting to know our current roster
Do the right thing - attach to anything and everything
Giving guys the comfort to be themselves
Giving guys opportunities and in pursuit to become the best version of themselves
100% focus
100% effort
Don’t flinch - body language will not be affected by circumstances
Can people see it when watch us play
Challenge players after a win - tighten up
Clips of what we want, and review what we want - we want to get it right
Classroom sessions as needed
Team meetings - attach videos
The name on the front of the jersey is important, but I don’t want to diminish the name on the back!
If you have the chase to help and willingness to help someone through something you can get in
I’m not going to the field looking to cross guys off
Can you lead yourself?
Can you help someone else?
Scheduled conversations - end of semester, end of year, and as needed
Players stay true to what’s best for them (more stable)
Get in the right hype level
I never want hype level to get in the way of what’s right
Stack different game situations
Make sure we are repping what it going to impact the game the most
Baseball BP - stacked machine (FB/CB), coach mix, coach mix scouting report,
During live balls as much as we can during BP
Attach decision making to the types of frequent lanes with a certain type of runner
Pitching with runners on no matter how clean you may have been in an intersquad
The guys that can handle the moment, they are the ones you want to give the ball to
“Sequencer” can help you project lineups
Being aware of stacking guys up between each other
Breaking up the pockets
Switch hitter/LHH in 2 hole
Continuity of the lineup to start anticipating options
Better Men, Better Ballplayers
