My goal is
to develop the skill of all athletes through a focus on
the fundamentals. I will provide a positive working
environment to help develop and improve these
fundamentals, which includes instilling an overall
knowledge of baseball, as well as improving one’s mental
and physical approach to the game. I will bring my
professional experience and knowledge to aid not only
the athletes, but also the parents, coaches, and teams
with which I work.
COACHING
PHILOSOPHY
Baseball is an
outstanding game, however, faith, family, and
academics always comes first.
Stress the
importance of good character & sportsmanship in all
situations, win or lose.
Establish a
productive working relationship with all
participants.
Teach baseball
fundamentals in a structured, disciplined, and
enjoyable format.
Establish clear and
precise individual and/or team goals for each
participant, allowing for the tracking of progress
made throughout the program(s).
Instill the
philosophy that work ethic and attitude are as
important as talent and skill. A “smart” work ethic,
combined with a positive attitude, is essential to
increase the opportunity for one to achieve their
goals.
Utilize the best
training available, including quality instruction
and the most advanced video technologies designed to
break down mechanics and identify problem areas, as
well as reinforce sound mechanics.
Encourage all
participants to ask questions, seek improved
understanding of baseball principals, and practice
all fundamentals learned throughout the program(s).
I cannot stress enough the importance of
participants to practice ALL of the techniques
learned throughout the program(s). One cannot expect
improvement by just attending one
camp / clinic / seminar and not practicing at home.
Committing to unleashing all of one’s potential
takes sacrifice, self-discipline, and perseverance
as well as many other very important character
attributes.
What & Why
principle: explicitly explain what it is that I am
teaching and explicitly explain why I am teaching it
this way and the benefit(s) it will produce.
