As coaches, we emphasize to our players that if they want to reach their goals, they need to be willing to work and improve in the off-season. We give them books to motivate them to work. We give them notebooks to chart their progress. We share examples of pros and college players off-season programs. It is clear- players must make a commitment to improving in the off-season.
As a coach, do you have the same expectations for yourself and for your coaching staff? Do you study film, attend clinics, network with other coaches? As coaches, we must make a commitment to improving in the off-season.
Years ago when I first started coaching, the boys basketball staff and the girls basketball staff went every Fall and every Spring together to a coaching clinic in Chicago, St.Louis, and anywhere we could. We learned from the speakers and we grew as a staff.
Galesburg HS baseball staff attended a clinic together. This is the kind of commitment that makes a coaching staff better and it makes a program better. If your coaching staff doesn’t do this- WHY NOT?
