    iTunes Stitcher Google Spotify During this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I interviewed Peter Fatse, MiLB Hitting Coordinator for the Minnesota Twins. Peter shares a wealth of information about how to execute decision training, ways to remain competitive during training, the importance of building an adjustable swing, and techniques to implement individualized training for players. Episode Highlights: How did Peter Fatse get involved in baseball coaching? What should we focus on in the off-season? What questions does he ask players to address deeper learning? What does an average week of training look like? How do we train an adjustable swing? What are some ways that he trains for decision training? How do they like to compete during training? What are the things that Peter looks for that he thinks that really good players do? How does Peter issue a plan that maximizes individual development in a team environment? Is there something that Peter Fatse has learned lately that has him really excited? What is something that his players do in training that they love? What is something that Peter believes that other coaches may disagree with? What are things done during Peter’s training that would stand out to people? What are some of Peter Fatse’s favorite books and resources that have benefited his coaching? 3 Key Points: Be honest about your weaknesses, strengths, and areas of development. Adjustability swings are a trait of elite hitters. Stay open-minded to learn from various other people. Tweetable Quotes: “We have a lot of information. But you have to be hungry to apply it and you have to be hungry to learn and dig in for yourself, because, ultimately, it is your career.” – Peter Fatse (02:49) “Make a realistic evaluation of your previous year and really take the time to look and say, ‘what are the attributes that I possess that right now are strengths for me?’” – Peter Fatse (04:06) “When I think about competitive design, there are two ways that we as hitters compete, the internal and the external.” – Peter Fatse (21:48) “When I have guys in the training center, one of the first questions I will ask is, ‘are you right-handed or left-handed?’” – Peter Fatse (30:05) “A lot of the times, the drill passages, from a bat path perspective would change depending upon their dominant hand and then ultimately, how the barrel created early excerration.” – Peter Fatse (30:10) “Be able to utilize bat and ball information to create a plan, because the ball, ultimately, is going to give us the best depiction of what is happening.” – Peter Fatse (32:57) “Every player’s career is extremely important, especially to myself and the rest of the staff.” – Peter Fatse (34:26) “I think you want to kind of look to layer on stress so that when a guy gets to the game, the idea is more about execution and they are not worried about being prepared anymore.” – Peter Fatse (40:45) Resources Mentioned: Ahead of the Curve Podcast Twitter: @AOTC_podcast Peter Fatse: Twitter  Instagram

    Best of 2019: Chase Lambin

    During this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I interviewed Chase Lambin, Hitting Coach in the Texas Rangers organization. Coach Lambin shares information about hitting, pushing players to be their own coaches, learning from everybody, creating a proper teaching environment, and how to deliver data to players without overwhelming them.  Episode Highlights: How did Chase Lambin get involved in baseball and as a coach?   What are some learned lessons Chase has acquired? What does the off-season look like for Chase Lambin  Where does he start in the process of coaching? How does Chase relate to and get to know his players better? What does Chase Lambin say to players to access their confidence? How does he help players make better decisions? What are some different competitions that he uses with players? How does he balance individual training needs within the team setting while trying to win games? How can we filter data to players to be the most beneficial to them? Is there anything that Chase Lambin believes that other coaches might disagree with? What are some things that he works on with players on a regular basis?  What are some of his favorite books and resources? Play baseball with joy. It is what we do, not who we are.   3 Key Points: As a coach, be a “mentern” - a combination of a mentor and an intern. Every swing is like a snowflake. Each one is different for the situation and the moment. Chase Lambin wants his players to be their own best coaches.  Tweetable Quotes: “I have a list of goals for the off-season, and all of it involves learning and growing. First off, I have to make up for lost time with my wife and kids because I think pro ball can be a bit of a grind and it puts a strain on a family.” – Chase Lambin (03:57) “Everybody has something to offer. Whether it be a first-year pro player, a college kid, a 10-year big league veteran, or a coach that has coached for 40 years.” – Chase Lambin (04:47) “There is no right and wrong. There is what does and does not work. I really don’t subscribe to absolutes.” – Chase Lambin (07:55) “We are more psychologists than we are mechanic. I usually start with a lot of questions that have nothing to do with baseball. I try to ask about their siblings, their parents, or do they have a girlfriend.” – Chase Lambin (11:28) “I think sometimes all a hitter needs to hear sometimes is that they are not alone.” – Chase Lambin (22:10) “You’ve got to create the environment to teach. You’ve got to train it.” – Chase Lambin (26:14) “When you make the preparation and the training as competitive as the game. It’s like getting a running start into the actual competition.” – Chase Lambin (33:10) “The last thing I want to do is muddy the waters. My main job is to distill information and give it to them in digestible chunks.” – Chase Lambin (41:45) Resources Mentioned: Ahead of the Curve Podcast Twitter: @AOTC_podcast Chase Lambin: Linkedin Facebook
