Never Too Old

I know I am one of the elderly faction on this great site and I want to offer this advice to the young coaches, regardless of what level you coach at, and it is very simple --absorb as much as you can from the best teachers available

I just spent three days at Cherry Hill with the following in attendance : Leo Mazzone ( Braves), Bill Robinson (Marlins), The Notre Dame Coaching Staff; Pat McMahon, Univ. of Florida, "Itch" Jones,University of Illinois; Tony Guzzo, North Carolina State and the list goes on

Took away from it a load of info--had my 25 year old stepson who is my my lead coach with me along with a young man who coaches in the local area at the Rec level---they came home with reams of paper filled with notes

I advise you to get to as many coaching clinics as you can-- the cost is minimal and the return is maximum

TR- As always, great advice. I can't begin to list the number of things that I have learned at clinics that I have incorporated into our baseball program. I have heard so many guys that have really had an impact: Skip Bertman, Ron Polk, Turtle Thomas, etc. Great coaches achieve greatness for a reason...and it is great that they are willing to lay it all out for you if you're willing to show up to hear it.
Clinics are essential to any young coach if you want to become great at what you do.

Bill Lea, referring to Al Kaline, Baseball 9th Inning, in segment about Lea's last AB before the DH was instituted. Held to a triple because Papowski was only three and a hlf feet tall and couldn't find him in the crowd. Also had never been to third before. Favorite Bill Lea line from 9th inning when asked his favorite pitch "that would be a strike."s
