Great point for development outside of athletics as well! At the youth levels, coaches get down on one knee so are eye to eye rather than standing over them.

Stacking Days

10 pages per day = 12 books a year $30 invested per day = $11,000 a year 25 mins exercise per day = 9,125 a year 250 words written per day = 91,000 a year 20 mins skill-building per day = 7,300 a year Winning small = Winning big

Never forget that your playing time for next year is being earned today. In the weight room, classroom, off-season training, practice, how you eat and sleep. Routines. Learn how to stack one good day, followed by another, and so on. Confidence is earned … thus the key is to be…

Good coaches change how players play. Great coaches change how players think.

People don't realize that the best "exposure" is a call or text from a trusted source. Reputation is everything. Surround yourself with people whose words are respected.


Hitting vs Swinging

“Why do you think historically everybody’s first round of BP is a hit and run? They’re progressing you through more effort”🤯 Listen to Ryan McMillian talk about why Batting Practice has always started with hit and runs and finding your own checklist and process in hitting🗣️…
