There is more to baseball coaching than just strategy and fundamentals. While these are important I am going to cover the aspects that I feel will help you become the best coach you can be. Baseball Coaching Tip #1 - Patience - Without patience you're in for a very long season. Especially at this young age with skill levels being so drastic from player to player and hormones just starting to kick in (obviously depending on age) you will need to exercise extreme patience. Everything from patience of a kid not being able to do a drill correctly to a kid acting up. You usually don't know what is going on at their home. If it's a bad situation they are in, baseball practice may be their escape, even if they don't act like it sometimes. Remember, nobody said this was easy and you certainly aren't dealing with robots so be sure to be patient at all times...
