Common Injuries in Baseball and How to Treat Them
By Chris Sloan, 0 CommentsMotivational Monday Tip of the Day Baseball Themes for Greater Focus
Many of the great sport coaches have a different theme for every practice. When players walk in for that day's practice, they are greeted with a word, or phrase, on the blackboard, wall, or bulletin board with that day's theme. These baseball themes as focus, team, fun, desire, hustle, and resiliency are common as well as phrases like "the will to prepare," or "Never give up." The list is endless and youth coaches should follow their example and have a theme for every practice. Many of thosebaseball themesare good for baseball players of all ages, too.
Baseball coaches can use those inspiring concepts of course, but just as necessary are words that cover many of the aspect of baseball that teams need to work on. Simply having a theme for the day that describes a baseball fundamental that the coach feels the team needs to focus on is good, also.
Good fundamental baseball themes for defense include: Stay down
Back up -
Two Hands
Footwork
Relay
Balance
Weight Transfer
Hip Turn
Hands
On Top
Stay Back
The possible baseball themesfor coachesare endless. The point is that often teams show similar negative tendencies so having a common theme for that day puts extra emphasis on that area of baseball.
