5 Softball Coaching Tips for You (#16-20)

Here’s another set of 5 Softball Coaching Tips for you. After you read them over, remember to take a few minutes to think about each one, then figure out how you can use these tips to make a few positive changes in your coaching. Enjoy!

1. Be Aware of Your Body Language – not only your words speak to your players

2. Remember the Process – results aren’t everything. Just because a big, strong player can throw hard, doesn’t mean she’s got great throwing mechanics. You do her a disservice to ignore her mechanics just because the end result (a hard throw) was achieved.

3. Know THIS Season’s Rules – they always seem to change from year to year. Keep up to date with the most current rules! You don’t want to a) look like an idiot or b) hurt your team because you aren’t aware of the rules. I supposed I should add in “know this tournament’s rules.” Not a good feeling when your team loses because of your poor time management in a game as a result of not knowing the rules of the tournament you are in (or losing by a tiebreaker you weren’t aware of during the game).

4. Success Requires Preparation – don’t allow your competition to defeat you simply because they chose to put more effort into their preparation.

5. Own It - don’t look to cast blame on others in areas where YOU can make positive changes.

  1. Great tips, Stacie! #1 is especially important. Hanging your head, slumping your shoulders, etc. all send a message to your team that the game is over, no matter what your mouth is saying. Remember that your players may not be able to hear from across the field, but they can sure see you!
