Benefits Of Softball Coaching

Coaching philosophies differ all over the world, from one sport to another. They are the central foundation to any good coach’s success in his/her respected programs. A coach’s philosophy does not only guide and lead the other members of the staff in the right direction, but it also allows each athlete to know what is expected of them, and how they should behave. By being aware of a coach’s philosophy, the athlete is fully responsible for his/her actions both on and off the field of play. In the words of the great Nick Saban, "It 's about what you control, every minute of every day. You always have to have a winning attitude and discipline, in practices, weight training, conditioning, in the classroom, in everything. It 's a process."

Step one- Get appropriate equipment such as baseball(s),baseball field,baseball glove that fits on your hand (none dominate), a person to catch for you (optional) if you do have someone catching be safe and wear proper catchers gear if possible.

For this reason they do not start first time players off on a major league size field with pitchers, instead they play t-ball with a stationary ball so they can easily hit it, and a smaller field and extra players for defensive purposes. To some this may not even seem like the same game or even a game at all, but in reality what looks like a bunch of children with no attention span chasing a ball around is really a sound way of teaching the fundamentals of the game. Swinging the bat repeatedly and even just getting used to wearing a glove lays the groundwork for improvement of these skills by being exposed to more difficult areas of the sport. None of this growth occurs however without a coach to teach you along the way and to hand down advice for you to build off of. And of course as you progress through the levels of baseball coaching improves as well as the talent of those around you who also help into developing into the best player you can

As the level of competition increases among children, they begin developing their skills at a younger age. Recruits attend camps, showcases, home run derbies, and receive private instruction. Continually, parents think they must spend thousands of dollars for their child to play on a highly competitive travel ball team. Consequently, colleges begin recruiting at an earlier age despite the substantial amount of growth and change that occurs during the teen years. Therefore, in today's world of softball, if a player has not verbally committed to a school by the time they are a sophomore in high school, numerous division one spots have been filled and they are most likely out of luck for a scholarship. This problem of children aged 13 through

I enjoy helping others pursue their passions and achieve their goals. Softball is a sport that has taught me many important life lessons including teamwork, leadership, and dedication. As softball is a sport that has taught me so much, I spent several weeks of my high school summers volunteering at softball camps. It was always rewarding to see the young girls discover their passion for the game just as I did when I was their age.

Each of my years playing softball has been a momemtous experience for me. Indeed, I have learned valuable lessons about life. I have not only gained experience on how to approach different life situations, but the game has also provided an insight of me. In other words, softball has impacted my life and will also shape my future. Therfore, this will seek to discuss some of these impacts contributions to my life.

Before we told our daughters that they could be anyone, or anything they wanted to be, we told them that they could only be what was acceptable for women to be, and that they could only do things that were considered "ladylike." It was at this time, when the nation was frenzied with the business of war, that the women of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League decided that they could do and be whatever it was that they chose. These women broke free of the limitations that their family and society had set for them, and publicly broke into what had been an exclusively male sport up until that time.

Do you want to be able to beat everyone at the next home run derby? Ok you may not go to any home run derbies or be in softball, but learning to swing a bat correctly can give you an upper hand and give you something to teach other people. When you are a parent and your kid wants to learn the sport of softball or baseball you will be able to teach them the perfect fundamentals in swinging a bat. There is a lot more to swinging a bat than what most people think. When you think about swinging a bat do you think about your feet, your head, your hands, or your hips? I don’t think most people do. Well these hitting fundamentals will teach you how to have the perfect swing and these four easy stages will help you to teach others and if you want to hit the farthest.

When I was playing travel softball for Angels Fastpitch in my second year of ten and under softball, this memoir began. My coach would not play me much because he said I was not good enough, he said I could not catch. He said many other things all were horrible. The emotions that came

Obviously, a coach is going to need to know how to play the sport that they are coaching. If a coach doesn’t know how to play, then what's the point of playing. You would be most likely to lose the game if you had a coach that didn’t know how to play the sport they are coaching. Your coach needs to know how to play whether you're playing softball, baseball, basketball, football, or any other sport because when you play sports, you always want to win the game no matter what right? Like national sports teams or college leagues, you want to play just as good or even better, so to be able to do that you have to have a good coach that can play the sport they are coaching.

For the past century, baseball has been America’s national pastime. As these games play out on television, younger athletes are primed to take these players places someday. As kids begin playing, they have to often learn the basics of hitting, fielding, pitching, and running. Parents often push their kids into playing sports at such a young age to begin creating a positive friend circle. Often known as the Boys of Summer, these young baseball players play often throughout the spring and entire summer with their friends, with pizza parties and ice cream stops after a victory sprinkled in. During the long and usually overwhelming season, these young children rock the diamond in often many cities and towns across their home state and beyond.

This is Coach Randy, I am your daughter’s 10u softball coach for the fall. I am looking forward to a fun and exciting season. I received the roster yesterday and I can't wait to get back in the dirt.

I know everyone will be busy with the first week of school, but let's prepare for practice by ensuring your daughter is ready and has the proper equipment. We are all here for the girls, I love computation but sportsman(women)ship is most important to me.

There are a number of definitions to what coaching is; I feel that I can personally relate to the following definition:

The coach will portray that mistakes are not acceptable and the athletes should make as little mistakes as possible. The coach will also show that he/she does not have patience for the athletes that cannot pick up the skills quickly. The coach will condition them if they make mistakes. The coach will have a very loud strong voice, demanding, and intimidating attitude. The coach will enforce fundamentals and skills that the athlete will need to be successful in the sport.

This past year the Stockton Softball team hired a new coach to add our staff. The hitting coach was new to all the returning players because we had never had a coach specifically for hitting and a new addition to the staff. The whole team and I had to adapt to change because the new coach had new rules, expectations, and
