Do USSSA. Rates are below. It is for all tournaments.
If the players is not responding positively to what the coach is doing, isn't it the coach's job to do what is bext for the player. Not all athletes perform better by being berated all the time. Especially athletes today. They need praise and they need it often. JMO. Old style coaches are done...
Just wanted to pass this along. My daughter uses this journal after each day of tournaments. It allows her to reflect on her mindset both on offense and defense. She also tracked her sleep prior to competition and all of her meals throughout the day. The journal has 4 sections that she would...
