One of my coaching heroes is Don Meyer. He had a quote I love. “Leaders pick up trash. It keeps the leader humble and the parking lot clean”. Let me challenge you this week- pick up others trash, push your chair in after you use it, and put things back where you got them from. 👊

This is a great time of year to develop team culture and discover more about your team's identity. I have shared this before but the fox hole test is something we did as a high school staff. We learned a great deal about our team through this exercise.

This is our version of a drill we saw and Vanderbilt- we call it Vandy Short Bag. I love it because it teaches cutting & getting directional. This is early in our base running installation and involves 8th-12th graders. Notice the difference in the more experienced guys.

This is a great drill we borrowed from QB guru George Whitfield. Works to help infielders that have trouble staying "stacked". It is also a great drill to teach "hip pops" or change of direction.
