Amazing what you can get done in merely 30min. 10 reps each of 6 types slow rollers + a few rounds of combo series = close to 100 reps each athlete. Plan your work, work your plan! @IndianaSB Team 48 lookin good training with pace & purpose, and solid communication. #dunamai

Thx @CoachAllenIU for taking time for Team 48 2day & speaking our language. Always great stuff. Few takeaways: mindset ๐ expectations/b4 reality, mentality/embrace boredom of consistency/be at best when counts most/ prep= confidence / earmuffs & blinders/ & naturally LEO!

Hoosiers can hit. Beautiful day at Club Mohr. Be intentional even w/chill BP. Hunt pitches. Utilize timing mechanisms -bat on shoulder, show square, exaggerate movement. Mix in game adjustments-move up/back box, on/off plate, choke up/down on bat, 2k approach no stride #funzone

Proud of Team 46 being down 5 zip could have easily thought canโt win em all instead stayed hungry & battled through 11 innings to secure the dub & a perfect 13-0 to start the season #Y2P.
When you break the record for the best start in program history (and add an extra win for good measure), you get cake!
