I was demoted as a head coach. How do I get over it?
Ok so my honest opinion. When you state that you are worried that YOUR dd is going to be put in the outfield or that YOUR dd will be put on the bench, that tells me that with you as coach, she would NEVER be put in positions that you put other people's children in. It sure sounds like you are...- CoachB25

Dad too demanding on daughter
Marc, years ago I was fortunate to get to hear Don Meyer give a presentation on basketball. In doing so, he issued the typical handouts. Primary to those handouts was a link to his website. I'd recommend all coaches go to this website and check out the various links. Spend time in the...- CoachB25

Uppercut Swing
Mike, I think the difference then is that it comes down to how you want to teach that concept. As you know, I've taught a similar concept for years (23+) where I addressed the issue as "nose over the plate." No one I know says that this is a bend at the waist without out also having other...- CoachB25

Uppercut Swing
"Conscience thought?" To be consistent then wouldn't that include that a hitter in tenths of a second can't thing "throw my hands at the ball?" Wouldn't it then be consistent to suggest that a hitter can't think "top hand torque?" Wouldn't it be consistent that a hitter is unable to think...- CoachB25

Uppercut Swing
Wellphyt, it seems as if many are jockying for your attention. Not me. I sent you a pm. I hope you read it. Here's the bottom line. I've taught and coached for a few decades. I've had much success in both softball and baseball. Still, what I teach and believe in had to make sense to me...- CoachB25

Types of Tees
Not to put down another product that looks very similar, you can count on these tees standing the test of time. That area where the ball sits is rolled rubber. It gives with the bat. Therefore, the tee does not get knocked over with a poor swing. (within limits naturally) You can break the...- CoachB25

Walk In Pitching Speed Increase
Doesn't it also have to do some with the intent? My dd's instructor has her do a 50% walk through where she is given some portion of the motion to really concentrate on as she gains momentum from the walk. Then, she progresses 75 then 100. On the 100%, she is supposed to only care about...- CoachB25

Hitting Questions?
Major history here. Yet, some of us get along and rather well. It just depends upon who's pulling who's chain. What has been lost in all of this is that there really were questions asked throughout this thread that could have generated good discussion. Yet, one attacks another or one cites...- CoachB25

Hitting Questions?
Tom, I just noticed your reference to me as a "killer B." LOL! No one I know puts much stock into what I say. However, I do speak from experience. My personal experience. I participate in these threads as a resource who's only agenda is to speak from that experience. I don't have to be...- CoachB25

Hitting Questions?
Mike, Thanks for the thoughtful response. Perhaps my experience is different than others. I don't know. As I say in my class, "I know what I know but I know what I know. Some people know what they know but they don't know what they know. You know?" :eek::D I talk to SE about once a week...- CoachB25
