VIOLIN AND BASEBALL:
HOW ONE MUSICIAN
BECAME A COACH
What do coaching baseball and playing
violin professionally have in common?
As a career violinist, Carol Laube relied
upon much more than virtuosity to gain
and maintain her position as Associate
Concertmaster with the Reno (NV)
Philharmonic. Playing the violin requires
physical stamina and whole-body health.
She suffered a mysterious shoulder
injury nearly 40 years after beginning her
education and career as a violinist; as a
result, Laube had to rethink her life.
She chose coaching as her next
adventure.
Laube found common strands between
teaching violin and coaching baseball; for
example both violin and baseball involve
technique. " The awareness
of body movement and
individual strengths
and weaknesses is
really important, as are
relationships with players and students.
I'm learning about how kids learn and what
motivates them now. It's back and forth -
finding things that go both ways. Physical,
technical, personal, mental. "
As the child of a minor league baseball
player, she has an innate understanding
of the sport. Since she spent many years
playing softball, fundamentals were easy to
adapt to the pitch and ball with the aid of
a personal coach. However, she believed
making the case to switch from musician
to coach wouldn't be possible unless
she completed education that would be
equivalent to experience.
After searching for a program that would
give her the foundation in coaching that
she needs to change career paths, Laube
found Ball State University's master's
degree in athletic coaching education online
program. The ability to continue working as
a violin teacher, complete coursework on
her own time, and especially the internship
component won her over.
But what she got was much more than
she expected. She got plenty of time from
her professors. She was able to collaborate
with colleagues in the program and work
on new ideas and coaching strategies with
them. " This program is for anyone who
is looking to begin a coaching career or
to enhance their coaching career. I had
wonderful colleagues - bright, dedicated
coaches, " Laube said.
On top what would be expected in
a master's in athletic
coaching education
program, Laube also
learned skills such
as marketing and
administration and heard a variety of
coaching viewpoints. She also received
batting lessons to transition from hitting
an underhand softball pitch to swinging
at overhand throws. The most important
lesson, though, was in discipline, said
Laube, noting that learning in an online
environment requires a great deal of selfreliance
and self-motivation.
Laube graduated in July 2018 and is
currently planning to continue working as a
baseball coach at Galena (NV) High School
while working to connect to a junior college
and in the next five years, a D3 team.
