If your facility income looks like a rollercoaster, you're not alone. But you don't have to stay on it. Over the next 21 days, we're walking through exactly how the subscription model can stabilize your revenue, grow your facility, and make your business something you can actually build on. Day 3. Stay tuned. 🎯

I used to count sessions to know if I could pay my staff. That was the moment I started looking for a different model. You can be an elite coach and run an inconsistent business at the same time. I did it for years. The work was great. The income was unpredictable. And unpredictable income makes inconsistent coaching. There's a better way. More this week. Day 2 of 21.

1. Build a college-coaching résumé, not a normal employment résumé. Keep it around one page if possible. Lead with coaching experience, playing experience, recruiting/player-development experience, specialty areas such as pitching/hitting/catching/infield, measurable player results, technology experience (TrackMan, Rapsodo, Blast, video analysis, etc.), education/certifications and 3–5 strong baseball references. 2. Check openings every day, but don't wait for openings. Use ABCA and NCAA Market, plus individual university athletic-department career pages. NCAA Market lets candidates post résumés, apply for jobs and receive job matches. NCAA Market 3. Create a target list of 50–100 programs. Include NCAA D-I, D-II, D-III, NAIA and junior colleges rather than only chasing Division I. Identify the head coach, recruiting coordinator and assistants at each school. 4. Contact coaches directly. This is probably the biggest difference-maker. Instead of writing, "Are you hiring?", send a short introduction explaining who you are, your coaching specialty, what you've accomplished and that you're looking to move into college baseball. Attach your résumé and ask for a 10-minute phone conversation, not a job. The goal becomes: 100 programs → 40 conversations → 15 relationships → 5 serious opportunities → 1 job. 5. Work the coaching network aggressively. Tell every college coach, former teammate, athletic director, scout and baseball contact you know that you're looking. Ask, "Who are two college coaches you think I should introduce myself to?" Warm introductions are dramatically more valuable than blindly submitting applications. 6. Attend the ABCA Convention and coaching events. American Baseball Coaches Association is one of the most useful networking organizations for someone trying to build a college baseball coaching career. Don't just attend clinics—schedule meetings beforehand. 7. Be willing to use a stepping-stone position. Graduate assistant, volunteer/part-time assistant, junior-college assistant, NCAA D-III assistant, NAIA assistant or collegiate summer-league coach can all create the experience and references needed for the next position. For example, current ABCA listings include NCAA D-III assistant positions and other entry/advancement opportunities, illustrating that these routes are actively used.

🚨 COACHES — MARK YOUR CALENDAR: OCTOBER 14 @ 7:00 PM You’ve probably coached this athlete. They look GREAT in practice. They have the physical ability. They know what they're supposed to do. Then the game starts… One bad at-bat. One error. One bad pitch. One questionable call. And suddenly everything changes. Their body language changes. Their confidence disappears. One mistake becomes two. And we're standing in the dugout saying: “Forget about it.” “Next play.” “Flush it.” “You've got to be mentally tougher.” But here's the question: HAVE WE ACTUALLY TAUGHT THEM HOW? On October 14 at 7:00 PM, we're bringing Jeremy Priar, founder of RSF Athlete, LIVE into the Pack Coaching Community to have that conversation. Jeremy's philosophy is built around a simple idea: We spend countless hours training athletes' SKILLS. We condition their BODIES. We teach STRATEGY. But too often, we simply EXPECT them to know how to respond under pressure. That's the gap Jeremy and RSF Athlete are working to close. Their system teaches athletes structured, repeatable response habits for competition—while giving coaches simple language and cues they can reinforce without overhauling practice. RSF Athlete ⚾ WHAT ARE WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT? We're going to dig into questions coaches deal with every season: 🧠 How do you actually TRAIN mental toughness? ⚾ How do you teach an athlete to reset after a mistake? 🎯 How do athletes maintain focus under pressure? 💪 How do you build confidence that doesn't disappear after a bad performance? 🔥 How do we prevent one mistake from turning into an entire bad inning or game? 🗣️ What can coaches say and reinforce that athletes can actually use in competition? 📈 And how can organizations create a consistent mental-performance system across multiple teams and coaches? RSF Athlete is designed around exactly these issues—training athletes to respond rather than react, reset after adversity, anchor themselves to process instead of outcome, and develop repeatable competitive habits.

I’ve shared this before, but I wanted to put it back out there for any baseball coaches, pitching coaches, parents, or pitchers looking for a more complete approach to pitcher development. I created the Baseball Pitchers Handbook: A Year-Round Development Resource to provide a clear, organized system for developing pitchers beyond simply throwing bullpens. Inside the 260+ pages, I cover: • Pitching mechanics • Arm care and warm-up routines • Throwing progressions • Bullpen structure • Pitch design • Velocity development • Conditioning and PFP • Mental approach and game planning • Recovery, nutrition, and hydration • Injury prevention • Offseason development • Evaluation sheets and goal-setting tools My goal was simple: put everything I would want a high school pitcher to understand, develop, and consistently work on into one resource. I’ve received some really positive feedback from coaches and pitchers who have picked it up, so I wanted to share it again for anyone who may have missed it. 📘 Available now on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00zAxBqY If you coach pitchers, have a pitcher at home, or are a pitcher looking to take more ownership of your development, I’d love for you to check it out. And if you already have a copy, let me know what section has been most useful for you.
