I believe in goal setting...
1) for 1at bat
2) for game
3) for each tournament
4) for season
There should be team and individual goals. Discuss team goals with the team before the game. Remind them of the team goals from the list above. Discuss what needs to happen to achieve these goals. After the game discuss what goals were met AND what goals weren't. Discuss how you achieved or what caused them to not be achieved.
Individual goals may be considered private between coaches and each player (include parents in these goals as they will be the ones to provide the tools or opportunities to reach them 4-5 days a week. While you only have the practices).
Good luck. I would love to hear other opinions on this.
