Game after game, season after season, the best baseball coaches are easy to spot. Their teams may not always be blessed with the most natural talent, but come playoff time, they know what they’re doing. How to field, where to throw, how to execute a bunt and more. Coaching makes a big difference in baseball.
What is it about the great baseball coaches that makes them stand out?
Baseball Practice Plans
Well, the great ones will tell you that it starts with a plan. Coming into every season and every practice, they’ve thought through their teaching plan. They know what they’re going to do and roughly when they’re going to do it. They have a plan for the season and a plan for every practice.
With the Well Prepared Coach Youth Baseball Practice Plans, long-time coach John Blissenbach has taken his years of coaching knowledge and condensed it into a series of practice plans for your team.
“Players don’t like lines and they need different drills to keep them engaged,” said Blissenbach, “Each practice plan was carefully thought through and tested on the field. I kept only the best drills and activities in these plans.”
Blissenbach notes that the biggest advantage to these baseball practice plans is that youth baseball coaches will know what to teach and when to teach it. He’s provided an overall approach, drills and talking points to make it bullet proof. He notes that some coaches choose to make some small adaptions for their unique situations, but many coaches follow it exactly. Blissenbach’s baseball practice plans have generated an incredibly positive response from coaches, as many have noted how their teams improved remarkably from the prior year.
“In addition to their teams improving,” said Blissenbach, “The most rewarding thing was how much coaches said they enjoyed the experience of coaching more.”
One of the benefits of baseball practice plans is saving coaches time.
“Many coaches are coming home from work and barely have time to grab the bat bag before heading off to a practice, let alone thinking through the best possible approach to practice,” notes Blissenbach, “Now, they can print off a practice plan and they have an agenda to work through. Plan the work and work the plan. It works.”
When other coaches are distracted about thinking what comes next in the practice, Blissenbach’s plans enable them to focus on the task at hand and coach in the moment.
Blissenbach notes, “Your players will have confidence in you and your team’s parents will notice the improvement in their children’s play. It makes for a great season.”
Baseball Award Certificate Maker
To conclude the season, or even throughout the season, coaches have the opportunity to recognize players, team parents and coaches with professionally designed award certificates. With these templates, a coach or team parent can add details like the players’ names, team name, date and words of praise before printing the certificate.
“I noticed that my own kids would keep certificates awarded to them by their coaches up in their rooms or on the family bulletin board for months,” said creator Mike O’Halloran, “To make it easier for coaches, I worked with designer Greg Johnson to come up with all of these certificate options. Coaches or team parents just need to personalize each certificate to create a lasting keepsake.”
