What Makes Baseball Teams a Target for Hacks?
By Chris Sloan, 0 CommentsIt is not always fun dealing with kids who are not self-confident athletes. However, I have an advantage. I am an example of an athlete who somehow made it to the top level without much, if any, self-confidence. Believe me, that is no way to play anything. I often look back and even wonder if I enjoyed my time in the major leagues for that reason. Going to work every day with little belief in your abilities is little fun. For the good news, I believe those times havemade me a better youth coach and one who can relate to many young ballplayers who struggle with confidence.
I know what kids with little confidence go through and try to help them as a coach and a parent of youthballplayers.Following are some helpful tips to help athletesdevelop the self-assurance that makes playing so much more enjoyable.
