PLANT CITY HIGH SCHOOL COACHING PHILOSOPHY

In all successful programs there is a coaching philosophy. The coaches need to demonstrate effective leadership. This is accomplished by maintaining the desired standards of behavior that instill confidence in all athletes knowing that their welfare and development is most critical. This environment encourages athletes to learn and develop on and off the playing field.

Each student-athlete needs to be given an opportunity to develop their core skills. The environment is structured to challenge the athlete while providing both encouragement and support. Athletes benefit most when exposed to drills that require effective decision making and precise execution under pressure. The repetitiveness of these drills during practice helps develop competency and confidence.

Players are expected to be good student-athletes, with an emphasis placed on “student”. We expect all student-athletes to conduct themselves in a mature manner in the school setting, out in the community, and on the playing field at all times. Players who do not understand this concept, will not continue be part of the Plant City High School Baseball Program. 

The goal is to build, establish, and maintain a tradition of excellence. We also want to make every effort possible to provide our players with the most enjoyable experience which in turn teaches valuable life lessons.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support!
