Week Three

This week included our first two games of the season and our first road trip of the season. We swept Roanoke for our home opener and swept LaGrange on our road trip. My duties this week included coaching first base and even hitting pregame infield/outfield and throwing pregame batting practice. Working with Coach Austin, I have learned that the things that I took for granted as a player and paid closely attention to as a coach. For example, I have paid for attention to the opposing team taking pregame infield/outfield and the drills that they do. As a coach, if you see something that another team does and you like it, it is perfectly fine if you take that drill and use it yourself. Coach Austin has said that most of the stuff we do in practice has come from other teams.
