Question about Coach Bertman's Coaching Philosophy

I’m hoping one of you can help an old grey bread remember something very important about Coach Bertman’s coaching philosophy. When he first came to LSU he was trying to sell his newly acquired program. I was new to higher education and was at Delta State teaching with another legendary Baseball Coach, Boo Ferriss. A group of coaching educators invited Coach Bertman to speak to a group of high school coaches on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. – He gladly accepted our invitation.
The energy and passion he brought to this small group of coaches was extraordinary and it was easy to see what was in the future for LSU baseball. One of the things he discussed was his notepad he kept in his hip pocket. This concept is what I need help with because my memory has clouded what he told us.
During practice if a mistake was made (was this a mental mistake of a physical mistake?), he would record the mistake in his notebook. The next day, he would review his notes and he said it was amazing to discover how many of the recoded mistakes were inconsequential the next day. He went on to explain how much valuable practice time is wasted on inconsequential corrections.
Can one of my rant historians explain more about the notepad and Coach Bertman’s use of the notepad AND how this aligns or is contradictory to the concept of adherence to the details?
Thanks in advance for any help

Are you talking about the Glenn Guilbeau book? Yeah, that’s a hard pass for me. He has made a career hating on LSU. He should have written a book about how his boy Napier is going to be a better hire than Kelly.

Despite Guilbeau the book is really good
Another author actually started project and never finished and he got some credit
Bertman got Guilbeau to finish it because he was first one to cover Bertman his first season at lsu
Ignore the author
Some really good insight on how Bertman coached
I enjoyed it
