Thought for High School Players: With the season approaching, commit 100% to your High School team. It's true that college coaches like player rankings, metrics and all other personal accolades. But we also like Winning players from Winning teams that perform inside the game!

Young players - today is the 1st day D1 Coaches are allowed back on the recruiting trail. Don’t start trying to perform for the people in the stands. Instead, compete for the people in your dugout.

Old school coaches were so right. Back of the net line drives translate into game hitting. Low ball flight on the field as well. Hit it through the wall. Keeps your bat path direct.

An entire industry has been created by spreading fear. “ You’ll be left behind, Won’t be competitive enough, Won’t be prepared for High School!” Adults that tell these lies are looking for $$! They want parents to be overwhelmed, under informed and it creates stress and anxiety!

Kids have to learn to dig deep, struggle & fight their way out of adversity. You can pay to put them on every kind of competitive team, get them a trainer/equipment/extra practice, but if they can’t claw their way past troubles that WILL come, they’ll never develop as athletes!

Something has shifted in our culture. Gone are the days when most kids either volunteered for hard tasks or were placed in challenging situations by their parents, fostering grit and resilience. Today, helicopter and rescue parenting dominate. Quitting, transferring, or opting

“Fun” … to me … is playing the game hard and to win with your buddies. Enjoying the field, your teammates, the atmosphere. Knowing when it’s ok to joke or laugh, but keep the culture geared to winning each pitch on offense and defense. Competing your tails off regardless of

Bold prediction but 10 years from now the kids ages 10-14 who’s summer looked like the 1st 2 pics will be more likely to have made it further than the kids who’s summer looked like the last 2! Am I wrong??

21,000 hours and 10+ years later, I’ve trained 1000s of athletes from pee wee to Pro baseball. As a Licensed Athletic Trainer, I can watch someone move & predict their injury risk. If I could only pick 9 exercises to bulletproof a body in 12 weeks, here’s what I’d pick and why:

Parents who sit alone aren’t avoiding people. They are avoiding negativity, drama, and complaining. They just want to watch their kid play… without the noise.

Monster, beast, gauntlet, and no joke are some words MLB players describe playing in the show. And those are from guys who had a lot of sustained success!! Never slouch off on your mental game-it's the foundation to keep u grounded in success and positive during your challenges.

The biggest thing baseball taught me: It’s life in a uniform. Good days, bad days, and everything in between. Let go of what you can’t control. And commit to what you can. Your effort, attitude and response to failures will continue to shape who you are. So keep stacking days.
