So many people don’t understand how competitive it is just to play at the professional level. The fact that a guy like Tony is a free agent is insane. You have to be in the 1% live out signing a contract. You have to be 1% of the 1% to stick. 👀 📈

Lot of companies today in baseball pretend to be the “industry leaders” in development. Dont be fooled though. Most are just heavily funded marketing conglomerates. Idea theft runs wild. Product theft runs wild. By design its hard to find the origin of a novel idea today. 📈

The oura of “hard work” for most leaves kids substantially over trained. Compounding hard work following a basic progressive overload model. > One day of “feeling” like you worked hard and completely taxing your CNS. Most people start/stop their fitness goals because of this.

“Exposure” is a mythical person that parents/ players dream up to justify the craziness they know they shouldn’t be a part of. Thanks to the portal your money and time is better spent preparing physically to compete against a 5th year senior when you are a freshman in college.

“Arm Care”. What is “Arm Care”? Anyone have a definition of what constitutes “Arm Care” vs just Strength and Conditioning? How are they different? A high five for anyone who can explain why we “need” “Arm Care”. Yes “air quotes” were needed for emphasis. 👍🏻

“We’ve fallen for the Instagram version of confidence emphasizing the projection of belief instead of working on the substance underneath. We need a new approach to working on confidence. One focused on the inside.” -Steve Magness

How does one do something like this? An abundance of self awareness in repetition. 📈 Relating it to the pitching world… No your mechanical problem isn’t going to be solved by someone else in a single 60min pitching lesson. 👀

Snow Plow parenting… -Kid never learns to fail -Kid never learns to self explore physical skills -Kid is behind the 8 ball by the age of 16 due to lack of skill diversity Casey Mulholland

Let’s all agree to stop guaranteeing VELOCITY and HEALTH in our marketing? 👉🏻The only person it hurts is the player. Anyone promising either of these things is flat out lying. 🚨 Doesn’t mean the product or service is bad. It means the company puts sales over integrity. 💸

Carter was a national news story a few years ago. Over the last few winters it was clear he was on the verge of doing something special in Japan. I’m excited for the day he gets back to the US and showcases the work he’s put in. Unbelievable stuff. Outstanding person. 📈

I hate this topic. I hate the term “repeatable”. No one defines it but we talk about it like it’s obviously the thing that creates command. Im willing to be persuaded by good data but “repeatable” needs a universal definition and “consistency” needs better context.
