Introduction (5 Minutes)
——————————————————————
We will begin with a brief introduction to get to know each other. During this time, I will ask about the athletes previous experience with baseball, interests, and any goals they may have for our sessions. Establishing this foundation helps tailor the instruction to the athletes specific needs and comfort level.
Initial Assessment (10 Minutes)
——————————————————————
Next, we will conduct a skill evaluation without any coaching or correction. This allows me to observe the athletes current ability and technique in key areas of the game. The goal is to establish a baseline so we can measure progress and identify where to focus our efforts.
Skill Development Through Drills (30 Minutes)
——————————————————————
We will then transition into structured drill work designed to build fundamental baseball skills. Each drill will be progressive, meaning that new skills will build on those previously practiced. This structured approach ensures a strong foundation while encouraging consistent improvement.
Game-Time Challenge (10 Minutes)
——————————————————————
To conclude the session, we will engage in a fun and competitive game-like challenge. The athlete will compete against themselves in various tasks or scenarios that reinforce the skills we practiced. This component is designed to make learning enjoyable while providing me with real-time feedback on your development.
Lessons will continue to focus on developing the athlete’s areas of weakness, which at this stage should be showing significant improvement and beginning to transform into strengths. We will also introduce more game-like drills designed to further enhance the athlete’s baseball IQ, enabling them to make smarter decisions and achieve greater success during actual games.
As lessons progress, we will continue to focus on transforming the athlete’s areas of weakness into strengths. In addition, we will begin to place greater emphasis on developing the athlete’s baseball IQ—helping them understand how to effectively apply the skills and concepts learned during training to real-game situations.
I will encourage the athlete to engage thoughtfully with specific aspects of the game, fostering critical thinking and decision-making abilities that are essential for their overall growth and success on the field.
At this stage of training, the athlete will begin working through targeted drills specifically designed to address areas of weakness identified during earlier sessions. The purpose of this focused approach is to systematically turn those weaknesses into strengths.
By isolating and improving these specific skills, we’re helping the athlete build a more complete and well-rounded game—ultimately preparing them for higher levels of competition and greater success on the field.
