Organized Practices from The Baseball Coaching Bible
Most established programs in any sport conduct well-organized, meaningful practices. Regardless of whether a program
is well-staffed or understaffed, practices can and must be organized and consequential. The goal of practice is
to do what needs to be accomplished, in quality fashion and in the least amount of time.
The Motivation Challenge from Coaching Wrestling Successfully by Dan Gable
Staying motivated when you have success is relatively easy. Your wrestlers can see that the training and techniques
you are teaching them are paying off, which motivates them to work harder. When you see that they are motivated,
that in turn motivates you. But everyone can't always win, nor will performances always meet expectations.
