Baseball Tips for Rookie Coaches - So You're The New Baseball Coach?

Baseball Tips for Rookie Coaches - So You're The New Baseball Coach?
By guest author: John Peter




So you're the new coach. Ok, now what?

Coaching a team sure seemed like a good idea, maybe even easy...until you started thinking and getting into it deeper. All those players, parents, the draft, practices...and those game decisions...ugh.
Maybe coaching 3rd base might not be so easy...
What were you thinking?

SOLUTIONS:

Rule #1 - Relax, It will work out!

You'll probably even turn out to be good at it.
How do I know? Why would I think this?

Well, first you are searching for information. Websites like ours with articles like this are sure signs you are at the very least trying, instead of sitting on your hands, ducking your head and relying on your Little League experiences from long ago. And because of...

Rule #2 - You will be organized...

And yes, you will have the time to do it. As a matter of fact, there is an article that I strongly urge you to read. It is about how to organize your team and yourself and is titled, "Plan To Succeed."

Please finish this article before you jump there (I'll include the link at the end of this article).

Rule #3 - You will have fun!

Look, the more fun you have, the more fun your kids will have...and yes, the opposite is true.

Personally, I think that some of the best things about youth baseball are the adults! I also think they are some of the worst things about youth baseball. I mean this because as we get older...we tend to forget how to have fun and play games. Life just does that to us. Here we are trying to solve problems on a baseball field like we do at work...UGH!
We get tight, our kids play tight. We say ugly things in the dugout...well, you get the picture...
Let's move on (This lesson either hits the mark or it doesn't).

One final thought (from someone who is privileged to be in baseball for 350 days each year)...
IT'S JUST BASEBALL! BASEBALL IS JUST A GAME!
(It just happens to be the best game ever!) Read more.

Baseball Power Hitting Drills - These Power Hitting Drills Are a Must For Any Baseball Player

Baseball Power Hitting Drills - These Power Hitting Drills Are a Must For Any Baseball Player
By guest author: Tyler Barton

If you are a dedicated baseball player like I am with the thirst for power hitting, you know how important a good set of power hitting drills are. The sweet feeling of entering the ball park having your teammates proud and thankful to be on your team, to step up to the plate and have the other team's coach tell the fielders to move way back...it feels great.

However, before I found the right set of power hitting drills to incorporate into my baseball training, I didn't exist in the world of batting, let alone power hitting - I sucked!

It didn't matter what power hitting drills I did..or ate. My family couldn't afford a weight system, batting gloves don't help - just a waste of money, batting tees kinda helped my level swing - useless against non-stationary baseballs, I even tried eating a plate of spaghetti before every game - a mom tip. I would either end up flailing around at the plate like I had spaghetti arms (no pun intended), or I would get a stomach ache.

I was sick of everybody's advice and almost quit - there was a nice summer reading program at the library I could volunteer at for my community service hours for school.

Believe it or not, it was physics class that gave me a new practice drill - we had a question involving baseball distance and batting speed. Obviously, went home and looked for ways to improve my bat speed. WARNING: CLICHE MOMENT. It seemed too good to be true -PowerHittingDrills.com - a site devoted to baseball power hitting drills by university coaches and scientists (don't let this discourage you, it's about baseball, so it's written for baseball players).

Given that it's tested material, and the fact I was fed up with dumb redneck batting tips and willing to try anything, Given that these baseball power hitting drills are tested power hitting drills, and the fact I was fed up with dumb redneck batting tips and willing to try anything, I went for it. Going back to the beginning of this little blurb, this was the best investment ever - better than my ps3.

By just adjusting my grip I lost spaghetti arm and could make solid contact with the ball, so I was excited about learning the real power hitting drills.

Within weeks (or within a few season games for another perspective) I had added several power hitting drills and tips to my arsenal, power hitting baseballs to the fence for triples, and even ground rule doubles. Finally, within a month....same ol' season games - I hit my first home run - 290ft. Within another week or so, I became a power hitting machine. It's quite amazing how many friends remember you when you start winning games for their team.

My 14 Best Baseball Tryout Tips

My 14 Best Baseball Tryout Tips
By guest author: Thomas E Wilson

So you have spent many hours training and participating in baseball workouts week after week, and your league's try outs are here. This is an exciting and nerve-racking time. Always be pleased with what all you have done thus far and have a day of relaxation before tryout day. Be confident in yourself and also your skills and most of all, have fun! Here are some helpful tips to help make try out day go smoothly, as well as give you the best odds of making the team.

1. Dress like a baseball player. Decide to wear baseball pants, spikes, and also a hat. Do not ever wear your cap backwards!

2. Be there on time! Make an attempt to be the first person to arrive and also the last one to leave. Coaches will appreciate that you are really serious about improving if they notice you doing exercises and stretching prior to and after the try outs instead of chattering with other players.

3. Introduce yourself to the coach if you do not know him. This action will demonstrate that you are a mature young man and have good self-confidence.

4. Don't forget that try outs aren't a social occasion. Stretch by yourself and take it very seriously. You are there to compete and take another person's spot on the team.

5. Getting loose is not the moment to display your arm strength. Make absolutely sure your arm is totally warmed up so when the coach is in fact wanting to check out your good arm strength, it is not tired from you overexerting it during warm-ups.

6. Hustle! For no reason should you walk during try outs or while on the baseball diamond. When your coach tells everyone to "bring it in" there is no need to race, however a fast jog will do perfectly.

7. Look confident and happy, even in cases where you are not. Hop up in the air one or two times to decrease stress, and seem glad to be there.

8. While waiting around for your turn to bat, focus on the velocity, arm slot, and movements of the pitcher.

9. While entering the batter's box, be confident and act just a bit cocky through your body gestures. Coaches will like the confidence and competitive mindset, just do not go too far or it might backfire.

10. While hitting concentrate on hitting the ball hard up the middle, not hitting home runs.

11. Be ready to learn. If you are pitching and the coach asks you to throw a change-up but you do not know how, politely express to him that you don't know how, however if he would teach you, that you would be more than happy to attempt to throw a few for him.

12. Act like it is the real thing. Pretend that you are in a game. Back up every single play where it is your responsibility. Coaches will take note and will like it.

13. Keep your head up and stay confident. If you swing and miss on three pitches in a row, keep your head up and dig down deep for the confidence you need to hit the next one.

14. Have some fun and relax!

I hope these suggestions help! If you make the team, great! Continue to keep working hard and striving to improve. If you get cut, do not get down on yourself. Some coaches tend to be biased and you might not be on their "list." Sometimes, you might be an excellent player, but simply not what the team requires at the moment. You can not build a baseball team with all pitchers for example. Work harder than everybody else on the team or not, and you will succeed. Ask the coach if you can practice along with the team, as well as train by yourself every day, 365 days per year. Try to remember, baseball is all about having a good time, so work hard, but have fun too.
