Ever wonder what it takes to transition from a baseball player to high school baseball coach to successful Division 1 college coach? Join us as we unpack the journey with our esteemed guest, Ray Noe, assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Ray shares his fascinating life story, detailing his experiences at VMI, the intensity of Hell Week, and his steady climb up the coaching ranks.
What sets a winning team apart? Ray lets us in on the secret sauce - finding the right players with character and the right mindset, the role of travel organizations, and the value of honest conversations with players. He delves into the balancing act of military, school, and baseball, and how to manage the pressure that comes with each. As a bonus, he spills the beans on his unique plays that gave him an edge on the field.
But it's not all about the game. Ray also shares a crucial aspect often overlooked - the significant role of parents at the college level. He sheds light on how parents and coaches can guide players through failure and the importance of taking time away from the game. He even discusses why multi-sport athletes can stay fresh and productive. And to top it all off, he makes a bold prediction for the World Series.
