Minnesota Baseball: Advice on how to develop a young player?
Dan Terres from Minnesota SWAT Baseball Club discussed how he approaches the development of a young athlete who would like to take his game to the next level in Minnesota baseball community. One of the major points he made was that practice is about quality, not quantity, and recovery is just as important as working out. Just reps dont make you great, lots of quality reps make you great.
Minnesota SWAT has become one of the top baseball programs in the state in a relatively short period of time. Dan Terres, the director of the program, joined us to talk baseball and how to develop young athletes.
Dan Terres has been an instructor for Solid Foundation Baseball for 9 years and has trained and developed 100’s of players over that time. Dan was a 4 year starter at St. Cloud State University and a 2 time All-Conference Selection and team Captain on some of the strongest Huskies teams of that era. He also served as Rogers Area Youth Baseballs President from its inception for the past 9 years, and
previously was on the Elk River Youth Baseball Board of Directors for 3 years. He currently lives in Rogers, MN for the past 14 years and is married to his wife Cindy. His goal for the S.W.A.T. team is to help develop the kids in the right way to enjoy and succeed in the game of baseball and life.
