Whether you’re a college coach, travel ball organization owner, or trainer at a private facility, Connect is for you. As someone who has served in all these types organizations, I can firsthand say that Connect will provide coaches and users with visibility into their performance, data, and planning.
Why Would A College Coach Need Connect?
Most pitchers don’t fail at their level because of their capabilities. They fail because they don’t have a plan. We’ve mentioned this multiple times throughout our podcasts and posts but a ratio of 20 pitchers to 1 coach is not suitable for development. It’s no one’s fault. Unfortunately, it’s simply a circumstance of budget. Due to this large ratio, players typically never have a day-to-day plan when showing up to practice. Connect not only allows the athlete to have their daily plan mapped out, but their assessments, questionnaires, data, and videos are all stored in the same easy to access place.
Now, throughout the season coaches will be able to track and monitor the progression of athletes. Come springtime, the pitching coach will only be able to invest and work with the top 10-12 arms since they’re constantly appearing in games. That means almost 50% of the pitchers will not see consistent live pitching. It’s easy for that 50% to get lost in the day today rather than having a set program to follow and continue to get better. Instead of navigating spreadsheets for each individual player, Connect provides a clean layout for all things baseball along with a mobile app to adjust programs on the fly.
What About Travel Ball?
Arguably, Connect may be more important at the private/travel ball level than the college. Why? Because at the college level you interact with your athletes 6 days a week. At the private and travel level, athletes may see their coaches as little as once a week which means it’s even more important to track and monitor progression, workload, programming, and intensity on days you are not around your athletes. Connect allows your athletes to have a set program no matter where they are at. Track the metrics that your organization wants to track and apply it to all levels.
Finally, the private facilities. If your facility has seen growth like ours has, Google sheets and Excel won’t cut it. By integrating third party data into our Connect platform we allow facility trainers to understand the entire scope of training. When there are over 50+ athletes on the floor at one time your trainers will no longer be overwhelmed due to the pre-planned scheduling available inConnect.
