Since becoming the Tigers’ head coach in 1988, he has led the program’s rise to prominence in the Middle Atlantic region. Under his guidance, the Tigers have been very competitive in four different conferences over the last 20 years. From 1988 to 1992, he led the Tigers to a pair of East Coast Conference champi- onships. After three seasons in the Big South Conference, Towson joined the America East Conference in 1996. During six seasons in America East, Gottlieb coached the Tigers to four conference tournament appearances. In 1999, the Tigers won the America East regular season title. Towson was America East runner-up in 1999 and 2001. In 2002, the Tigers joined the very competitive Colonial Athletic Association. In their fourth CAA season, the Tigers reached the CAA championship game where they lost to Virginia Common- wealth. In 20 seasons, the Tigers have averaged more than 25 victories per year and posted ten winning records.

  • How to Write a Case Study
    Swing, Batter, Batter, Swing! 9 business tips borrowed from Major League Baseball Swing, Batter, Batter, Swing! Summer is officially upon us, and the Boys of Summer are in action on fields of dreams across the country. One of the greatest hitters in the history of the baseball, new Kansas City Royals batting coach George Brett, believes home runs are the product of a good swing. Take good swings and home runs will happen. It’s great to get on base but it’s better to hit homers. Home Run Power -- hitting balls harder, farther and more consistently – takes practice. And there is a science to being a successful slugger. From Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds to Ty Cobb and Hugh Duffy, companies that want to knock the cover off the ball can learn plenty from legendary MLB players. Most baseball games have nine innings (although I recently sweated thru a 13-inning Padres versus the Giants stretch) so here are nine tips: 1. Focus on good hitting. You get more home runs when you stop trying for them and focus on good hitting instead. Making progress in business is no different; aim for competence and get the basics right. Strive for everyday improvements and great execution. Adap.tv, a video advertising platform predicted to IPO in 2013, releases new code over 10 times a day to heighten continuous innovation. Akin to batting practice for the serious ball player. Goals without great execution are just dreams. According to research conducted by noted business author and advisor, Ram Charan, 70% of CEOs who fail do so not because of bad strategy, but because of bad execution.

He concluded that, “What is actu- ally being invaded here is America and its hold on its theoretical na- tional pastime. We’re not sure exactly when this happened—possi- bly while you were busy watching a Yankees-Red Sox game—but this isn’t just America’s sport anymore. It is Latin America’s sport.” While it may not have gone that far yet, the presence of Latino players in baseball, especially in Major League Baseball, has grown enormously. In 1990, the Racial and Gender Report Card recorded that 13 percent of MLB players were Latino. In the 2009 MLB Racial and Gender Report Card, 27 percent of the players were La- tino. The all-time high was 29.4 percent in 2006. Teams from South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean enter the World Baseball Classic with superstar MLB players on their ros- ters. Stark wrote, “The term, ‘baseball game,’ won’t be adequate to describe it. These games will be practically a cultural symposium— where we provide the greatest Latino players of our time a monstrous stage to demonstrate what baseball means to them, versus what baseball now means to us.” American youth have an array of sports to play besides base- ball, including soccer, basketball, football, and hockey.
