Notes
We have our team values
If your early your orgranized
No blame, complain, or defend
CARDS - bottom of every practice plan
Players are now speaking the language
Working with you not for you
The best teams are player led, not coaches fed
When you get out front you get vulnerable
You can’t talk about win the pitch and then be losing your mind
The beginning you are talking to yourself
Meet after practice
Mental game - what does it mean to you?
Getting them to recognize they are doing something with them knowing it
Helping you get to the next pitch and realize you are going too fast
Breathe and get to the next pitch
You can gripe and complain about it or you can adapt and change
Its a 40 year decision, not a 4 year decision
In order to set the goals, you had to work towards the goals
Back map from doing something the program has never done before
Deconstruct winning a conference
Track positive at bats
Do your job - doesn’t matter how, execute quality pitches with conviction
Each team needs to create their own identity
Play as hard as you for as long as you can
Process > outcome
60% positive at batsPercentage of QAB determined what we need to do
60% or better we win
50% and we need to play good defense and pitch it well
40% then we better of pitched great and caught it
WHO got the RBI - talking RBI not hits
Educate kids on the situation. If the kids don’t know the situation that’s
