Re: stance - I work anywhere from short 12yr olds up thru high school. Switched to the GD this year and can't believe the difference it makes in my hammies, double dishes are like a walk in the park now for this plate hog! To adjust to smaller players, I just widen my stance which sets me up for the lower strike zone (and smaller catcher), though I end up taking more pitches off my shin guards.
Re: sunglasses - ever since I got contacts, I seem to squint more, so I always wear my shades behind the plate just as I would in the field. But never thought about removing them to talk to a coach (and they NEVER take theirs off). But you got me thinking, since any mgmt and relationship class talks about the importance of eye-to-eye contact. I think I will try to take them off next time a coach comes out to talk - I already do it for pre-game meetings.
Thanks for the tip!
