Season Recap (coach comments): I am very content with the season we had. I do feel sorry for the Marlins team that lost three years in a row, however I would feel much worse had I stayed with that team and lost for the third year in a row.
Since the Indians have won the Midget Division World Series for at least the past 5 years I felt extra pressure to win this year. I also knew these players composed the best overall team in the league.
I hope I don't come across to self-important in my comments. The reason for the great season is 80% great players who wanted to win. I have a large roll in the out come due to pitching, practice scheduling and organizing.
I had a great time trying a lot of little experienments this year.

Some unusal things no other coaches did in this league include
• Make each kid sit the same number of innings. This will help our 2009 Indian team out and this kept all players interested through the regular season.
• Pitch faster and from farther back. I think this hurts our batting just a little more than it helps, however it will really help the players moving on to the next level next year. The swing mechanics I attempted to teach depend upon pitching faster and flatter. I had to start this pitching method on day 1 of practice. I certainly would not be able to add this in mid season.
• Move the players around as the competition permits. This will really help the 2009 Indians.
• Approach the regular season with a casual attitude and then pile on the practices as the season concludes. I'm glad this team was humbled in two games during the regular season. This made them respect the level of competition. The Marlins practiced hard all year except when it really mattered. I think the players burn out when they practice all year. The team had great attendance in the final seven practices we crammed into the last two weeks. The players practice attitude was not there but the realize the importance of having these practices. It took every practice we had to pull of this championship.
• Keep players informed and organized. This web site allows each player to know just how they fit into this team. Each player was instructed to their fielding position for the whole game before the game. This helps players know their role in a game even if they don't like it.
