PS..also can we please stop the pitchers and batters from looking at a waist “cummerbund” and/or a wrist band to figure out what pitch to throw, and whether to swing or not!!This game is not that hard and let’s keep the flow of the game going so the fans don’t fall asleep!! Thx 7

If you want your athletes to be receptive to your coaching, you need to be a low maintenance coach who has a plan, is organized, and is consistent in the treatment and approach to your players!
If there is mutual trust, the chances for more fun and success are greater.

You can tell what kind of person you are by the people you surround yourself with.
It’s something we all tell our own kids but from a coaching standpoint, it always helps to be surrounded by knowledgeable, confident, and loyal assistants and support staff. 👍

Strong communication skills are absolutely essential to the winning
coach.
A coach must be able to verbalize clearly to his players and his team in moments of victory or defeat. He must be able to relate to his players so that they understand what is expected out of them.

Effective coaching and teaching requires a strong knowledge base and great communication skills.
Communication has to be a two way street: information and instruction going out and processing, reaction, and action coming back.
