Coaches: Blog & Win an A-Bat Pro Maple Fungo Bat from Superior Bat Company

Coaches,

CheckSwing and Superior Bat Company want to help you be ready for the practice field by giving away Two (2) A-Bat Pro Maple Fungo bats.

The contest is simple....... We all learned this early in life: SHARE.

That's right, just share your knowledge with the CheckSwing community. We want to hear some of your best training tips, motivational tips, how you teach the fundamentals, what helps players develop/what does not...... or anything else you feel is important in the game of baseball.

Do you have a practice plan that works well? Share it.
Do you have an off-season conditioning program that rocks? Share it.
Do you have any pitching, hitting, catching, base running or fielding drills/philosophies that just make players better? Share them.

Just write a Blog sharing your ideas/information. You'll be helping thousands of players and coaches in the CheckSwing community who will greatly appreciate this.... and you'll get a shot at winning one of two A-Bat Pro Maple Fungo bats from from Superior Bat Company. They are excellent quality fungo bats. Take a look here.

All you need to do is write a Blog as we described above. CheckSwing will monitor blogs, read the comments and feedback and pick two coaches to each win one A-Bat Pro Maple Fungo bat. Show your knowledge, your passion and possibly get rewarded with a new fungo bat. Let's have some fun and help one another get ready for Spring.

Winners will be announced on February 5, 2010. Start blogging and you just might win a great A-Bat Fungo from Superior Bat Company!

Like Alex said good practice organization is a great motivational factor. To add to that, be sure that the kids actually understand why you are teaching them something, or even why they are playing ball. Giving the players a reason to be doing what they are doing is the best motivation that a coach can offer. Traditional educational techniques say "drill, drill, drill" but I have found it more beneficial to work backwards. Show them a picture or video of a successful player and point a particular technique that he or she uses in simple terms, explaining why that athlete does that. The explain how the drill work that they will do will help them achieve that skill. This provides an objective that will help them achieve their goals of becoming better and winning.

I think the best advice i could give to a coach is to make sure you have good practices, but mix it up every so often with a fun practice that may or may not have anything to do with baseball. This is mostly for little league coaches. Here is what I mean: Say you have a team and there not all making it to every practice. Mix it up, when all the kids that do arrive for practice one day just up and take em all up and treat them to ice cream. then as word spreads that coach took em all to get ice cream more kids start showing to see if it happens again. Then have another practice where you play a game of kick ball. Its still playing ball with the kids but it also makes it fun in between all the regular baseball practices. When you make it fun for the kids they tend to pay a little more attention and in the long run you have a team that plays good togther and respects there coach. AND shows up for every practice on the off chance that they will get ice cream or get to play kick ball!
