Bio 1st Season HC at North Alabama 9 seasons as HC of West Chester Universitywas first and only NCAA school to win a championship 2 NCAA Championships in 2012 and 2017   Former Associate HC and RC at University of Delaware Former PC and RC at William and Mary university    Notes Not going to settle Getting to know our current roster Do the right thing - attach to anything and everything Giving guys the comfort to be themselves Giving guys opportunities and in pursuit to become the best version of themselves 100% focus 100% effort Don’t flinch - body language will not be affected by circumstances Can people see it when watch us play Challenge players after a win - tighten up Clips of what we want, and review what we want - we want to get it right Classroom sessions as needed Team meetings - attach videos The name on the front of the jersey is important, but I don’t want to diminish the name on the back! If you have the chase to help and willingness to help someone through something you can get in  I’m not going to the field looking to cross guys off Can you lead yourself? Can you help someone else? Scheduled conversations - end of semester, end of year, and as needed Players stay true to what’s best for them (more stable) Get in the right hype level I never want hype level to get in the way of what’s right Stack different game situations Make sure we are repping what it going to impact the game the most Baseball BP - stacked machine (FB/CB), coach mix, coach mix scouting report,  During live balls as much as we can during BP Attach decision making to the types of frequent lanes with a certain type of runner Pitching with runners on no matter how clean you may have been in an intersquad The guys that can handle the moment, they are the ones you want to give the ball to “Sequencer” can help you project lineups Being aware of stacking guys up between each other Breaking up the pockets Switch hitter/LHH in 2 hole Continuity of the lineup to start anticipating options

123 Jad Prachniak - North Alabama

Marc Rardin

Connecting with two-time NCAA Div. II national champ Jad Prachniak from West Chester University and three-time NJCAA national champ Marc Rardin from Iowa Western Community College helped us bring together a truly unique perspective on practice planning. In this episode, both Prachniak and Rardin detail how they have learned over the years to see what truly matters and how that shows up on their specific practice plans. We get outside of the box with very unique and creative ideas that Prachniak and Rardin use to maximize time on the field with their players and dive headfirst into indoor training. They open up how to keep practice sessions fresh, how they get creative with the scheduling and add a level of competitiveness to their daily plans.
