So, this January, after ballooning to 283 lbs, I decided to get back in the gym. I was about 120 workouts in and down to 252 lbs when I ruptured my right plantar fascia.
6 weeks and 1 day later, I just dunked on my birthday!

@BRrebellion
I offered a job to a coach this year.
He was a volunteer at a school. Making nothing in baseball and with a 2nd job.
My job was salary, paid vacation, 401k w a match. Only work every other Saturday. All Sundays off.
Significant raise. Living arrangements taken care of.
Driving to Baltimore: 8 hours / $75
Hotels in Baltimore: $300
Food and activities in Baltimore $600
Tickets: Free TY Ryan!
Getting to see a guy I’ve worked with for 5 years hit 3 homers in a
@MLB
game as a rookie (with curtain call!) with my wife and two young boys… Priceless!!
He will lead with conviction and authenticity. He will achieve for them and they will fight for him.
What’s cool is they’ll never know what he turned down. But I do. And he does. But they may never have a more committed coach.
I hope they recognize and enjoy it.
If everyone played little league families would spend 1000’s of $$$$ less. Be home for weekends. And the leagues would be the exact competition level 98 percent of people want.
The state of youth baseball has really changed and many families are being misled. The initial plan we had with youth club ball has turned into something I don’t think we envisioned.
Community ball needs a revival imho in the 6-11u age group. Focus on development, and fun 1st.

Very excited about the new building! Come see what all the talk is about!
Very excited for Eric to have this opportunity. He’s grown tremendously since he started here
@BRrebellion
and this is proof positive.
@DukeBASE
is getting an expert in hitting development, hitting tech, biomechanics and a great person too. Congrats
@_erictyler
we will miss u!
Just for run, I tried to fine one hitter with their hands rotating back and the barrel moving rearward before back elbow drops. While I didn’t spend much time on this, it wasn’t needed. It doesn’t exist.

I’ve never been more excited for a team when he said that. And I cannot wait for circumstances to work out in the future for him. No matter if it’s with baseball rebellion or not.
He’s all in for where he is. And his players will feel that.
He said, “I made a commitment to these players that I would be here. That means a lot to me, my word means a lot to me. I’m staying but I really appreciate the offer and I hope in the future we can revisit this amazing opportunity.”
This is what facility ownership really is. It’s not just hitting lessons, cage bombs,
@HitTraxOfficial
numbers, and cashing checks. It’s late nights and sacrifice. It’s your nine-year-old son working a 13 hour day right next to you.
Hey everyone. Need a HitTrax?
A buddy of mine has a newest HitTrax for sale. Asking $13,500
Perfect condition. Only set up once never actually used.
Includes HitTrax, computer, cords, tv/computer mounting stand.
I really love helping players get better.
Sometimes, the business of
@BRrebellion
and
@SB_rebellion
clouds that for me.
Seeing long time clients have success is one of my great joys in life. Here’s some fun pics of players/instructors/supporters over the years. Thank you all!
For anyone who followed the discussion here on my personal twitter about “snap” or “barrel turn” today I wrote an article with 3 videos about how we create that move in our hitters. I’d appreciate it if you read it.
@BRrebellion
When he called me back I was sure he’d accept.
But his tone kinda shocked me.
I could tell he was going to turn down my job. At first I was upset. Kinda mad even.
But then, I listened to what he said to me.
My mother taught me to hit and throw. My dad was in medical school. She stood in front of me right handed. I mirrored her. She didn’t notice. dad tried to turn me around. I cried. So I hit and golf lefty. Mom’s had MS for 39 years. Dr. told her to abort me. She didn’t. ❤️ uMOM
This is my dad, who has been diagnosed with MS, giving up his time on a day he took off, to sit down and throw to me the best he could, to help me chase a goal I have. He’s not on Twitter, but he’s my hero
The best part about having outstanding instructors and people here
@BRrebellion
and
@SB_rebellion
is when they can achieve their own personal coaching goals. We will miss

Many have asked if I was gonna dunk on my birthday. I’ve been doubted by many….and for years, I’ve talked shit to lots of people about my ability to dunk, (not dunk well).
In light of my recent dunk results, I’d like to apologize…
To absolutely nobody.

I don’t tweet about politics much. But I can tell you this: American small business cannot and will not survive another shut down. Please think about that fact in November.
As I sit here reading tweets about not wanting parents near the training area, I want to take the time to thank the parents who pay to have their kids in our program. Your trust, loyalty, and consistency keeps businesses like mine afloat. We

thank you.
So...My son started playing machine pitch and had to get a cup. I tried to explain to him what it was and how it worked...he was more than confused. Then my wife took him to
@dickssportingss
to get him one...she texted me this:

Hey everyone.
@BRrebellion
is getting closer to being fully operational. That means BAT FITTINGS start soon!
@truetemperbsbl
has a great set of USSSA bats that are either balanced for your table setters or end loaded for power players.
I'll be going LIVE on facebook tonight at 9:30 eastern to talk about Non-Invasive Training and BR Insider, a new way to do online instruction! Please tune in and share! See you there!
If you aren’t straightening out your front leg, you aren’t maximizing your power. The Mound Drill is here to help! Stride your front foot onto an upward slope and turn. This movement helps maximize hip thrust and creates a powerful swing!

#HittingDrills
The Magnus Effect:
🏀The descending, spinning ball drags air around it, forming areas of low and high pressure
🏀This pressure differential creates a lift force (the Magnus force) that causes the ball to move in the direction of the pressure differential (ie, from high to low)
Tonight at midnight is Sept 1st, the first day juniors can get called for softball. Midnight will come and go for most and the phone won’t ring. Remember. That’s OK! You don’t need a phone call at midnight to validate your work and effort. If it happens, awesome!
Sent an email to HS coaches in the area about a

I’ve wanted to hire Lacey and bring her into the team for over a year. This is extremely exciting for anyone who loves softball and supports the growth of female athletes in our culture online and in person. Welcome to the Rebellion
@Lwaldrop_13
We're excited to announce the addition of Lacey Waldrop (

Another thread 🧵 about a 2024 softBaller:
@belvaradi2024
is an outfielder and pitcher. She can play centerfield and will stick there at the next level.
She’s developing much more power than her frame would suggest and driving the ball to all fields.

If everyone. EVERYONE just played little league/ cal Ripken locally, think of all the time/money would be saved and how robust and talent laden the leagues would be.
Why do I constantly find myself agreeing with
@tomhousesports
? I think it’s because I’ve never valued experience in instruction more than I do now. Me. House has done nothing but evolve, adapt and improve over time. I strive for this daily
@BRrebellion
Merry Christmas to everyone, except this guy who robbed us a few days ago. Took money and tools.
@BRrebellion
Everyone is safe. No one was hurt or there. Thankful for that. After hours break-in.
Food for thought: if your committing at any level, and tagging your travel team, and they don’t INSTANTLY retweet your commitment with a comment that makes sense about you personally, then they don’t care about you. They just cash checks. 🙄😐🤨☹️🤯🤬😮🤮🤢
Just sent a care package out to
@O3jfrye
so he can check out the Rebel’s Rack and
@LaunchAngleTee
looking forward to his thoughts on both. PS I don’t think he’s gonna like the NAME of the tee. But I do think he will like the ball presentation.

The time for development is now. Never in your life will you have as much time as you have now. No games. No school. No excuses. Find a way to gain now and you’ll have such an advantage over the people who do not make that sacrifice. Listen to Stan!
If you look around, we're failing in this country as a whole.
We're far more interested in playing games than we are in skill development.
Do you want to teach kids how to play or do you just want to tell everyone that you won your youth league?

We have many families who rely on our business. A business who has more than abided by guidelines. Had no exposures. And supports hundreds of families who rely on our instruction secondarily to our mentorship, life advice and adult interaction they cannot get in school currently
Hard to believe in the USA that anyone should have to worry about a virus or any form of overhead figure affecting their way of making a living as an owner of a company. Sad
Helping players through a rough start is just as important as congratulating the players with great starts.
10 at bats or 3 games don’t make or break your season.
