Progress

This is a very important post, directed primarily towards parents and coaches.  The idea is progress.  We all want to reach success, our daughters, our careers, our families, etc.  In every areas, we must progress to reach success - this is evident.  Noone became the winningest coach without winning each game, by progressing year after year, compounding hard work with time..

Practice should be an evolutionary giant, a progressive system of learning, improving, and ultimately, reaching success.  How do we structure our practices to reach success?  Through progressive drills.

The next few posts will center around the idea of progress...

FIELDING FUNDAMENTALS:
  • Week 1: fielding fundamentals: one-hoppers, side-to-side, slow-rollers (single line at SS)
  • Week 2: fielding fundamentals: (single line at SS, throwing to 1B)
  • Week 3: fielding fundamentals: without a glove (3 lines; field at SS, throwing to 2B, making the double play to 1B)
  • Week 4: fielding fundamentals: game-situation, coach hitting to SS, making the double play (2B to 1B), then spend additional time by adding a runner.
