As a baseball coach, I am always looking for ways to motivate my team. I wanted to do something encouraging and uplifting for the players. Try these baseball coaching tips with your team. They are simple AND very effective.
At baseball practice while we are in stretching circle, (which by the way each boy leads us in a stretch as a way to start practice) I mention each player by name, and he comes forward. I specifically name what it was that they did from the previous week’s game , from striking out a batter, to getting hit by a ball, and getting right back out there.
I proceeded to give that player a roll of lifesavers. I noted something specific and well-executed each player on my team did at the baseball game the previous week. This was such a hit that I do it at every practice after our games (a different treat each week).
We always work on what needs work, but how great to acknowledge what went right. It was a great morale booster. We won that game, but won’t always, yet there will always be something positive to point out to the players.
