    High School Tryouts: Having Realistic Expectations

    In this episode Coach Cathcart discusses having realistic expectations for players and parents who are trying to get ready for high school tryouts. High school baseball, (and most sports) is not something you can prepare for in a month, 3 months, 6 months, etc. If you are new to the sport or have taken a significant amount of time away from baseball leading up to high school tryouts, it is an almost impossible task to fully prepare for. Even if the player is athletic and works hard, the amount of mental fortitude the game requires is generally a mountain too high to climb in a short time. Be realistic with yourself, the competition and your preparation!  If interested in us coming to do a camp in your area, visit our website: https://www.baseball-doctor.com/ Follow us on our social media: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4FIHUxKBN2fT2lIgUkM9_w Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/baseballdoctor8/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baseball_doctor_/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/baseballdoctor8?lang=en Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@baseball_doctor_ Website: https://www.baseball-doctor.com/

    Breaking the News- It's Time to Hang It Up..

    In this episode Coach Cathcart discusses how to tell players and parents it may be time to hang up the spikes and focus on life outside of baseball. This is a very difficult decisions for all parties involved and runs the gamut of emotions.  There are certain "things" that coaches, parents, and players should look into to tell if a player has what it takes to play at the college level. How are they competing with their peers? What are their physical attributes? How is their work ethic? Where are their priorities?  Be honest with yourself as a player! Don't look through rose colored glasses as a parent, and always be truthful with your players as a coach!  If interested in us coming to do a camp in your area, email us---- baseballdoctor8@gmail.com Follow us on our social media: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4FIHUxKBN2fT2lIgUkM9_w Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/baseballdoctor8/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baseball_doctor_/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/baseballdoctor8?lang=en Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@baseball_doctor_ Website: https://www.baseball-doctor.com/

    Coaches- Spread the Love, not Hate!

    Do You Really Love It?

    In this next episode Coach Cathcart discusses the physical and emotional work that goes into being a high-level ball player. Whether it's 8u, high school varsity level, or college level, there's different sacrifices and different amounts of work that must be put in. After 20 years of coaching, we're seeing a rise in kids playing but a fall in the amount of kids who are actually there for their love of the game, especially in youth levels. Parents individualize training, showcases, and tournaments every weekend has created undue pressure on these young kids. Before they ever get a chance to truly fall in love with the game, the expectations are unrealistic. Very few players love and understand the grind of what it takes to be elite. Many think that if they go to certain showcases, play in bigger tournaments, or on certain teams, they will be handed scholarships. This is a false narrative. There is no shortcut.  Follow us on our social media: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4FIHUxKBN2fT2lIgUkM9_w Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/baseballdoctor8/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baseball_doctor_/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/baseballdoctor8?lang=en Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@baseball_doctor_ Website: https://www.baseball-doctor.com/
