Random thoughts after finishing up coaching on the floor with these middle school and high school athletes. The sets reps and percentages is the easiest part of coaching. Anybody can learn it it does not take long. What makes coaching special is being able to connect with the athletes you get to work with. Find ways to connect so they want to train so they have better intent. Find ways to help them with their nutrition. Connect to unlock the secret sauce.
It’s important for your head sport coach to visit the weightroom. They don’t have to stay long but frequent visits say “this is important”. Less important for assistants. Players notice a head coaches presence. Support your local strength coach. @BrandonHerring0 @coachdeesmith
Should the final year of strength and conditioning degrees (and possibly all allied health degrees) operate more like a trade; with the student working full time (or close to full time) for the whole year? Thoughts?
Spoke to an Athletic Director friend today. His school is cutting his coaching stipends in half. Just paying Head Coaches, no assts. Making him fundraise for the rest. He has to tell coaches. He asked for advice. I said "Go to EdJoin.org, and look for a new job!"
Along with the @d3baseball All-Region teams, we also name a player, pitcher, rookie and coach of the Year for each region. d3baseball.com/awards/all-reg… #d3b #d3baseball
Out “hold up” drill Over/under hooks. Simple goal, jack up their posture (amount dependent on skill/ability), make it messy and reshape to power and find a good tackle. Release earlier for learning/younger, release late for more developed players.
