Player Development: The Value of Individualized Skill Plans
Every player on your roster has unique strengths and areas for growth. While team drills build cohesion, individualized skill plans (ISPs) ensure that each player maximizes their potential.
Key Idea: Start by assessing each player's performance in key areas: hitting, fielding, pitching, and base running. Use this data to create personalized plans with clear goals. For example, a player struggling with off-speed pitches might have a plan to face 50 curveballs per week in practice.
Action Step: Create a quick assessment template and assign one specific improvement goal to each player this week. Track progress during practice and offer feedback regularly.
