The Doc Talk- Baseball Doctor Josh Cathcart

In this episode Coach Cathcart discusses having realistic expectations for players and parents who are trying to get ready for high school tryouts. High school baseball, (and most sports) is not something you can prepare for in a month, 3 months, 6 months, etc. If you are new to the sport or have taken a significant amount of time away from baseball leading up to high school tryouts, it is an almost impossible task to fully prepare for. Even if the player is athletic and works hard, the amount of mental fortitude the game requires is generally a mountain too high to climb in a short time. Be realistic with yourself, the competition and your preparation!

In this episode Coach Cathcart discusses how to tell players and parents it may be time to hang up the spikes and focus on life outside of baseball. This is a very difficult decisions for all parties involved and runs the gamut of emotions. 

There are certain "things" that coaches, parents, and players should look into to tell if a player has what it takes to play at the college level. How are they competing with their peers? What are their physical attributes? How is their work ethic? Where are their priorities? 

Be honest with yourself as a player! Don't look through rose colored glasses as a parent, and always be truthful with your players as a coach!

In this episode Coach Cathcart hits on the topic of helicopter parents. We all know them when we see them, but what effect is it really having on their child's performance? How can they be involved, but not overly present? 

Parents should be a support system that provides only positive vibes. Far too many times they end up being a hinder to their child's success instead of a reason for success!

In this episode Coach Cathcart hits on the topic of arm care and the increase in serious arm injuries at an early age. The lack of common sense by coaches, parents, and players (depending on age) is a major contributor to these injuries. 

Other factors include: lack of arm care routines, proper rest, and strengthening.

In this next episode Coach Cathcart brings on John Madden from YouGoPro Baseball. John's baseball story has many layers and is pretty fascinating! He has been a college All-American pitcher at Auburn and has spent time in the Mets and Padres organizations. After his playing career ended, he has built a huge YouTube/social media following over the years providing wonderful instructional information for players of all ages and ability levels. John is a true blessing to the world of youth baseball and beyond. It was an honor for me to have him sit down to share some knowledge and memories from his baseball journey. I hope you all enjoy!
