I just wanted to lock down responsibilities for coaching first base (since I’ve never done it).
1. Encourage the hitter to run through the bag for infield hits and to turn or continue to second on outfield hits.
2. Instruct the runner to take proper leads on release of the ball by the pitcher
3. Instruct the runner to watch the third base coach for signs to steal
4. Remind the runner what to do when the ball is hit
a. Run on grounders
b. Hold on pop-ups unless two outs
Anything else?
