Well only three weeks before a tournament and we have practice about every day before it. Let’s see how it goes. Things I want to focus on are strength and conditioning — I think three weeks we can see real improvements in 13 year olds and I want to improve accuracy of the pitchers. We need to get everyone over 50% strikes and we need offspeed pitches for everyone. We need team defense to improve. Let’s see what happens in three weeks – think about it as prepping for the final exam.
Notice I don’t have much in here on hitting mechanics. Not sure we can change core mechanics at this point — I think we can do some work on pitch recognition, but not sure we’ll do too much. Hitting takes a lot longer than three weeks. That being said if you don’t beat yourself with walks and errors you are often in the hunt for most games.
