Catching Instruction Starts Young

On March 26, 2011, in Blog, by mattnokes

Catching lessons should start at a young age and William Fonseca is proof positive! William is a 6 year old who doesn’t look old enough to pay attention, let alone learn focus at a catching lesson. He’s as cute as he is accomplished, but still looks like he should be picking daisies in the outfield grass, he’s all business though.

Watch out for William Fonseca (age 6), he’s a little fire cracker who loves baseball and loves catching. He’s not only applied the step by step movements he learned in his lessons, he’s learning how to work them into the games. It won’t be long before he’s passing up other catchers who waited till they were really old (like 10 yrs old – haha!), to receive the professional coaching.

Catching Lessons for young players.
You’re not going to believe this 6 year old showing off his skills!

What does it really mean for a hitter to PEAK TOO SOON?

On January 21, 2011, in Blog, by mattnokes

I had a conversation the other day with a AAA/AA minor league player that I coach and consult with, and we were talking about the idea of peaking too soon. He asked the question…what I thought it meant to peak too soon? How he could avoid peaking too soon because it’s January and he said he’s feeling better than he’s ever felt in his career. It can be confusing to process that especially if you’re doing well and you’re locked in and it’s January? Do you hold back? How do you handle it?
