Coach Brad Duvall’s "Developing A Competitive Practice" is a masterclass in structuring high-intensity, game-like practices that push players to perform under pressure. This course focuses on creating fast-paced, competition-driven environments where players are held accountable for their performance every day. The course covers how to structure daily objectives, focusing on one to three key performance goals, and how to track progress beyond basic stats like batting averages and RBIs. Coaches will learn how to use metrics such as quality at-bats, two-strike balls in play, and free base challenges to ensure players develop smart, in-game decision-making skills. Additionally, the course dives into creating a winning team culture, where athletes are not only competing but also pushing each other to improve daily.
