Turn the Game Debrief Into a Practice Rep

Ira Rosen’s message about follow-up made me think of a postgame conversation that ends with “we’ve got to execute better.” What exactly are we going to see at Tuesday’s practice that tells us we followed through?

Pick one situation, like a runner on second with nobody out. Ask the hitter what they saw and what their plan was. At the next practice, recreate the situation with a live pitcher and a runner. Check the hitter’s decision against the pitch they got, then give them another rep. Now the debrief has a place to go, and you can see whether the adjustment holds at game speed.
