\r\nSOFTBALL DRILLS DON’T GET PLAYERS GAME-READY UNLESS YOU WORK ON\u00a0MENTAL SKILLS TOO
\r\nWe’ve spoken to countless amazing coaches whose passion is to make a big impact on their players. They want to create a supportive culture that develops their skills for softball and life. These coaches are dedicated to their craft and put in a lot of time and effort. Yet something is still missing.\u00a0
\r\nWe have access to thousands of drills. Coaches share their philosophies for developing hitters and pitchers all the time on social media. Most people even talk about the importance of the mental game. What’s missing is actually implementing the mental game JUST AS MUCH as the physical game.\u00a0
\r\nListen in to today’s chat where we discuss some of the misconceptions about mental training and\u00a0how to implement it daily when there are a million other things on your plate.

\r\nCOACHING RESOURCE | Learn your coaching personality
\r\nCoaching is difficult because you have to work with and figure out so many different people. We hear from the top coaches that the best way to teach is to get to know what each athlete needs. Most agree that’s the way to go about it, but it sounds very time-consuming.
\r\nSo we’ve got a bit of a shortcut for you. We’ve created a short quiz to help you discover your coaching personality. If you can spare 5 minutes, we can shed some light on how the way you think affects the way you coach. We’ll also share some tips for working with the other thinking styles!
