Talk on Pitchers and How to Stay Away from Tournament Ball Overuse (Setting Pitch Limit Standards)

A Look at Pitcher Overuse in Youth Tournament Baseball

In this video I cover overuse of tournament baseball pitchers and talk about coaches setting some personal standards on pitch limits, along with rest days.  Also I address key indicators of onset fatigue that can lead to injury if not caught early.  I also talk about setting up a proper warm-up routing and recovery process for after care.

How Communication Impacts Influence

All of us have the power to make a difference in the lives of others. For me it starts with the quality of your communication. The way you communicate and relay information to others directly affects the perception people have of you and the way they perceive you. The level of your communication will also impact your level of influence and leadership.

Whether you are a parent, business owner or coach your influence will come from how you communicate and the quality of the actions you take. If you are wanting something different to happen in your life or with your team or even your family, start by serving them. Change the way you communicate with them and change what you are giving them. If you want love you must give love. If you want obedience, you must give obedience. The people you want influence over must respect you.

Respect is always earned. Sometimes in the beginning of a relationship and sometimes later on. Greet, give and show respect and you will see this reciprocated. Once you have this don't ever lose it. It's terribly hard to get back.

If you are looking to make a difference. Look at the changes you must make first. Challenge yourself to be the communicator you see yourself as. Challenge your level of influence by serving others first. Show change and you will accomplish change in others and in you.

Be blessed everyone.

What Makes a Successful Coach?

Coaching success comes in many different forms. However, well beyond the wins of games lies the true success as a coach. I look at winning as a byproduct of coach and athlete success.   Or in other words it's just a successful moment.  Now there are some games that are won that in my mind would measure true team success. Championships for certain. 

For me, as coach with 30 years of baseball experience and having coached all ages and levels through college. Success as a coach happens when the players you coach ,develop, train, fight for and fight with come together to form a life long bond that can be called upon throughout life's journey. 

Success happens when these players believe in you and your ability to lead them and they are willing to do anything for you on the field of battle. There is a mutual respect and trust which together molds a cohesive team.

My advice is for you to get to know your athletes. Learn what makes them tic. Today's athlete is not yesterday's.  There are cellphones, computers, twitters and all sorts of fun mediums that can spark a disconnect from the coach, player connection. Try to have a real genuine vested interest in their life. Work hard to help them to see and make the right decisions. Encourage them to strive for what they want and to set high standards for themselves. Teach them to handle the "Jungle of Life". They will forever love you for it. Be blessed.
