Your Baseball Plan of Action
Without a clear road map, your path to completing your BIG idea (your season accomplishment) would be unclear and confusing.
To avoid this, I taught you how to take your BIG idea (walk fewer than x hitters, wins 10 games) and create some procedural goals to include in your road map. These may be to throw more curveballs for strikes, get ahead with your fastball more often, etc.
Now, the final step in your road map process is creating ACTION HABITS. This daily and weekly habits are the most important part of your plan. Most anyone can sit down and plot out a direction for the season, though it takes another level of athlete to plan out daily and weekly practice and improvement plans.
So let's say that your BIG idea is to win 10 games this season. To do that, you have identified some procedural goals, one of which is to throw a first pitch strike 70% of the time. Your action habits are then directly connected to your procedural goal. Maybe you would create an action habit of working on mental focus or practicing your fastball more in the off season. Whatever you choose, it needs to be consistent and measured.
And the secret to this process to make it stick? Let others in on your road map. Tell your coaches your plans, tell your parents, write it down and show a teammate or two. The more people who care about you and see your road map, the more likely you are to accomplish what you want this season!
