Coach John Cumberland discusses the importance of setting goals as a pitcher and a pitching coach in this video tip. Coach Cumberland recommends sitting down and coming up with mini goals, realistic goals and ultimate goals at the beginning of the season, and also you should put on paper both your strengths and weaknesses so they can be monitored throughout the year. Setting goals not only is good for the player, but it gives the coach an idea of what you expect and also what he can target on as far a weaknesses are concerned.
