Probably one of the most overlooked areas of opportunity on a regular basis is when guys are playing catch and getting loose and warmed up.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this part of practice or a game totally squandered and half-hearted at best by the players.

In this episode, I'll layout an easy way to transform playing catch into a competition that your players will love and will play over and over again....(and then see how it translates onto the field later)!

Release Point w/ Weighted Balls

When you get tired, you start to break down. In this episode, I'll tell you a little story about me doing some construction and how it translates into what is happening with your pitchers on a regular basis and the key performance indicators that you need to be aware of to prevent injury and optimize performances

Fatigue Factors That Every Pitching Coach Must Know

I can probably name on one hand the baseball programs in this country, at all levels, that basically have an 'unlimited' budget for their program.

The rest of us have to operate within our means.

And some of us have little to no means as it is.

One question I've gotten a lot over the years from coaches is what equipment should you buy for your pitching staff if you have a very limited budget.

In this episode, I'll take you into all the equipment that I would purchase for my pitching staff that costs you just $350, but will make a world of difference for you and your pitchers!

Equipment On A $350 Budget

If you are a Pitching Coach, there's a really good chance that you are an Assistant Coach on the coaching staff. Not only that, but if there's 3 or more of you on the staff, you are probably the "low man" on the totem pole.

But regardless of your place in the hierarchy, if you have a Head Coach, there is also a really good chance that they don't see pitching in the same way that you do.

So what do you do about it?

How do you get a Head Coach to buy in to your playbooks and give you the freedom to operate?

In this episode, I'll take you through my personal experiences I had with that very same situation and what I did to overcome it....and what you can do to overcome it as well.
