PLAY THE GAME RIGHT!
How many times have you been told to "act like a ball player" or "play the game right?" It's funny, because that's all we heard growing up. In those days, we had people around us who knew what that meant. Today, for some reason, those people are hard to find. For this reason, I wanted to offer something that should clarify what it means to "act like a ballplayer" and some rules you could use to follow to "play the game right". I cannot tell you how important these "rules" are. In many cases, if not most, it is the difference between making that top travel team making the High School Squad or being awarded a scholarship or not. It may seem silly, but it's the truth!"
We are fortunate to be affiliated with a program that has tradition and has had many players that have had successful collegiate and professional careers that will provide valued resources to educate our players on playing at a high level. We feel we have a good understanding of what it takes to get the most out of the player at all events. It's an important part of the developing of a youth baseball player to understand the small nuances of the game at the earliest of ages to better identify them when it counts later on. Doing the little things right are what baseball people look for in players.
Development is the KEY - whatever the choice of school you decide to send your son to or whatever the sport he chooses there are absolutely 2 things that coaches look for in the players that are trying to make that freshman team or win a spot on the Varsity club.
These 2 things are:
Does the player do it right, meaning:
Can the player play the game the RIGHT WAY - has been taught to do the little things right?
Is the player Coachable?
Can the staff coach the player with ease and does the player accept criticism and absorb what the coaches expect from him?
