Podcast Episode 005: Maximizing Baseball Practice Efficiency

 

 

Maximizing the efficiency of baseball practices is one of, if not my favorite topic to discuss with coaches.

The game of baseball is fighting a losing battle against other, more fast paced games in the age of instant gratification.  Coaches have to start designing their practices with that specifically in mind. If you went to a two and a half hour practice and took 10 ground balls, swung the bat 10 times, and ran a few laps around the field, wouldn't you feel like you just wasted your time?

Don't ever let your practices get dull.  Kids don't join a sport to stand around and do nothing, they join to have fun, they join to learn, and they join to be active.

This two part podcast is designed to help amateur coaches of all levels avoid the three evil Ls of baseball practice... oh yeah, and there's some cooking tips in there too!!!!
