Risk Management
As a coach one of the most important duties you have is to provide each student with the up-most safety as possible, protecting them and everyone, including other coaches, from any risks, accidents, or injuries that may occur. By having an efficient management and organization to your program it allows for more time and energy to be placed on the players.
The following is a detailed plan on how to minimize liability risks and avoid careless coaching:

Risk Management Plan
One of the most important responsibilities a coach has to his or her student athletes is to create a safe environment to practice and participate in. It is estimated that over 2 million high school sports related injuries occur a year in the United states. No matter how good the coach’s intentions may be, he or she will not be able to successfully minimize injury to athletes unless there is a risk management plan in place. The following are steps that can be taken in order to minimize risk of injury to a student athlete. Read more »

Handling wins and losses
I am a very competitive person by nature. I do not know how I will handle these things as a coach yet because I haven’t handled it. I don't think losing while coaching 8 year olds will feel the same while coaching high school athletes. I do know however, that I don’t like to lose. I like to win, but who doesn’t! I hate it when kids act like a loss is just a loss and not a big deal. To me it is a big deal, and if it is not a big deal to my players, I take it as if they don't care about the sport or their team. You play a competive sport to compete, if you are out to just play and have fun, there are rec leagues. Never except failure. Read more »
Conditioning and strengh training program
Off season is the time for a great strength and conditioning program. But it isn’t something that we just want to quit once season starts. I think it’s a huge advantage to lift all off season and gain tons of muscle mass towards your sport, but you see in season sometimes people just quit and end up losing all they’d gained.
In season will not be as tough of a lifting program, it’ll be a matter of maintaining what you gained in the off season. You still need to keep lifting and keep conditioned, but the difference in off season is that you can push your players to the max and keep increasing weight and repetitions trying to make them better. I think once you get to season it’s time to just maintain what they got over the off season. Read more »
Softball practice Plan- hitting
The main practice with hitting practice is to maintain focus. A lot of time with shagging balls it can become very slow and boring and in turn practice becomes slow. You do not want to let practice become slow because players start to goof around instead of working hard. Kept your player focus and into the practice and you will have a successful practice.
3:30- Warm up and stretch
3:40- Base Running
2 singles
2 base hits, rounding
2 doubles
2 triples Read more »
