This week I attended a seminar in Calgary. The seminar was not about softball but about moving yourself forward. We as coaches have a responsibility to continue to improve both on and off the field as people. So to answer your question we need to motivate our coaches to attend these seminars. Any ideas?

Learning is a process that never stops. The way to develop talent is to encourage young athletes to embrace the game. Coaches have a responsibility to keep their players engaged and to transition them towards the next level of play. What better way than to learn specific coaching techniques and best practices from those who have had success at the highest level in the sport. This is a fantastic idea.

When I finally realized ( thanks to her pitching coach) that she needed me to be her biggest fan and to always be positive for her, we really started to gel as a team Athlete/Coach/Catcher and the success has come along with it. Don't get me wrong, I still get plenty upset when things aren't going our way but the differance is, my daughter/pitcher never sees it. Thanks Joann!
