All caps is considered yelling, so the bold must mean he is screaming. lol
Starts with the HC, set rules, standards and expectations. Culture although cliché is key, have an identity and don't stray.
What kind of team are you? If you have 50% wanting to play at the next level, they won't appreciate the other 50% without the same goal in the long run.
Practice- fundamentals, skull sessions (increase softball IQ, scenarios), keep it light and concise
Phones are killers, but majority use them for downtime. A good tic toc video of the team break barriers it seems.
But going back to the first point, it starts with the HC. Girls have to feel good to play good, keep it light and easy.
I'm still learning the do's and dont's lol
I started doing this. Each week I assign them a new partner. They do everything with that partner: throw, stretch, hit, run. I tell them to make sure they have each others phone numbers. I encourage them to talk outside of softball by asking them things that they learned about their teammate at the end of the week. We're about two weeks in and it seems to be helping a bit and the girls have taken to it really well.
Your good.
With your age and gender you are in a better place then me.
I did some crazy non SB stuff after games and at practice. Most worked but not all. I am still surprised I was not banned.
Do not be afraid to do, lack of better word, silly stuff which gets players laughing and competing without SB in hand.

As a new/young coach, you will also have to earn their respect and trust. Continually show them that that you care about them and the sport. Be confident! Be a student of the game yourself, show them that learning is a constant. Connect with them as individuals, don’t try to force the same instructional styles on everyone. Be flexible and patient, some things may not look like they are working for a while, some may never work.
What was your response to that comment
Half hardly told them to stop it..
They were just spectators, did not actively route against player.
