In-this-playbook In-season baseball when you’re the “new coach”: Raven joined Towson right as baseball kicked off—long season, heavy travel, and zero pre-existing trust. Her priority isn’t chasing PRs; it’s getting them through the season healthy , keeping the weight room positive, and earning enough buy-in to still hit meaningful stimuli (heavy/fast, low volume) without scaring guys who “play tomorrow.” Auto-regulation that builds trust (Perch + feedback): With no established percentages and daily fatigue swinging wildly, Raven leans on real-time bar speed feedback to guide loading. The constant external cueing (“blue/gold/red” + beeps) helps athletes understand she’s not guessing—and lets her keep intensity where it needs to be while controlling volume so they stay fresh for games. Simple systems for chaos: group lanes + QB “plus ones”: Raven lays out clear in-season lanes (starting pitchers, low-inning guys, position players/bullpen) so everyone knows the plan—and keeps low-inning guys from “getting greedy” and wrecking themselves with extra volume. On football, she adds short, targeted QB plus-one work (shoulders/T-spine/core/stability) without pulling them away from the main team training, building durability while keeping the foundation general and strong ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.
