McNicol, who plays for the Golden Bay Earthquakes in the Major Indoor Soccer League in the winter, uses his hands in the summer camps to rub heads, to shoulhang around ders and to hold sticky candy that will eventually be popped into his mouth. McNicol likes kids. Ever met an adult with sticky hands who didnt? And McNicol practices his Sticky Hands Philosophy in his camps and it dictates how he teaches and coaches kids. Rule number one in the Sticky Hands Philosophy is to be positive when teaching kids. I find many (coaches) who coach to the faults of the kids,. McNicol says. In other words, a kid is played in a position because he cant play any other positions. I look for strengths, McNicol says. In keeping with the Sticky Hands Philosophy, McNicols camps are small and informal, but not because of a lack of demand, but because thats the only way McNicol will have it. Hes had offers to run larger camps, but the kids dont get personal instruction at those camps and at the end of the week only know how to run around, McNicol says. And McNicols philosophy is popular. Hes sometimes booked five months in advance and is teaching almost every day in the summer. But it wasnt always that way. McNicols first clinics Utah-Idah- 250-mil- view-Bountif- ul e, 10-d- tikky Hamids watches, two things McNicol never wears.

The first clinic I put on in Utah was in Kaysville Junior High School which Chuck organized, and one other guy showed up. We just couldnt get them to come out. McNicol is now traveling to The Sticky Hands Philosophy differs a little when McNicol deals with high school players, who want more discipline more Coeur dAlene, Idaho and coaching.

'm. PV : Two former area OGDEN high school baseball players, who are now playing for the Ogden Flyers, a minor league class A team, have both suffered this season, but from different afflictions.

They can be compared to junior high school pitchers at times, and when theyre on, they can be compared to college pitchers. Taylor said the Flyers are starting to come together as a who team and are starting to get the good pitching that they need to win. He said that while he missed the four games because of the hamstring pull, he had to come back early in Thursdays game because the other shortstop was injured.
