I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.
Today I wanted to take time to talk about one of the best coaches I ever had, Frank Howard. Frank was my hitting coach for the New York Yankees in 1989 and 1991 and both those years I hit over .300 and had massive hit totals.
What made Frank so great? Well, there were a lot of things.
First, while Frank was an amazing teacher of hitting, what made him great technically was that he could work with anyone and always encouraged them to stay with in their own strengths. He was a massive man and a power hitter but he wouldn’t try to make you something you weren’t as a hitter.
Second, Frank had complete humility as a coach. He would give you advice and then say “use if it helps and if it doesn’t don’t.” He didn’t have his ego wrapped up in you listening to him, he was just there to serve his players.
Third and most important, Frank was a pillar of positivity. In fact, I literally never heard him utter a negative word in the years I knew him. He was all positive and all smiles all the time and it was infectious.
Listen to today's short to hear more about they type of coach and man the great Frank Howard was.
