Pay attention to what your hitters are doing when nobody is telling them what to do. That's how you know who they really are ...

Watched some games in ATL yesterday. Takeaway: Everyone seems to want to answer to be swing-related, bcuz it's easier to find a solution. But the truth is its usually thought-related & it's harder to teach the mental game.

Don't look @ starters like, "I'm better so why am I sitting?" You should ask, "Why does coach TRUST the starters more than me?" Seek to become more trustworthy. It's not only about who's better. This is not a combine. Its a real game that your coach wants to actually win.

Even if your swing was perfect, 5 different coaches would have 5 different opinions about what's wrong with it. Just buy into something, trust it, and do you

I'm beginning to realize that confidence is not a "feeling" but a decision. If we wait until we feel confident to be more consistent, we may never get there. Weaknesses of the past can be your super power in the present. Decide to be confident

The self-esteem movement has destroyed the resiliency of our young ppl. I'm trying to teach teenagers how to fail & recover -something they should've learned both at home & on the playground. Instead, they have been protected from failure & the emotions associated with it.

Recognition & Decision-Making is experience & trusting that experience is intuition. Have we over-coached to the point that hitter's instincts are fading away?

Its easy to be good when everything is going well. Can your team trust you to show up or is that predicated on your mood? How good are you on your worst day? This is the ultimate predicter of consistent performers. Resiiency is a real thing.

The good ones don't really think about inside or outside, high or low, or fast or slow. They have the instincs, the vision, the confidence and the natural movement patterns to Rake whatever. They truly just see it, time it and hit it.

Quality of contact is what separates the really good power hitter from the occasional power hitter. 4 major characteristics: Speed, Strength-Power, Timing & Bat Path. But nothing is more important than vision.

The mind shift: You've been programmed to play 4 yourself -showcase culture. Drop dead hour & 10. No real winner -no need to fight. Then U get to college & you're asked to fight, to win. The best leaders can get a team to do that -that leadership only comes from the locker room.

As a travel team, you owe it to these players to teach them how to run the bases. Believe it or not, winning teams don't put bad base-runners in the line-up. Many of these catchers haven't run since 12u. Let them run please.

Pick a side. You wanna be great or you wanna be normal. Greatness ain't never been convenient. I'm not gonna let this new generation of mediocre dictate to me what is an acceptable sacrifice. Ain't gonna happen. Go hit somewhere else. Good luck.

So many athletes came home for break & did the bare minimum. Now you can tell yourself you did something -congrats. But don't go back to school & sit AGAIN & blame the coaches for not giving you an opportunity. In my experience, people who aren't workers NEVER CHANGE.

Player development is looking at a 14yr old's swing & saying yeah I know you're hitting HRs right now, but that swing won't play in college. Training in the present & future is key. Good travel HR Hitters sitting in college cuz somebody didn't understand the assignment.

If you suck at something you need to do it 1000 times. If you still suck, do it 1000 more times. If you still suck then you're just not good. And that's ok because everyone isn't good. You owe the effort to yourself, but the game doesn't owe you success

When I'm in these batting cages, I'm really fighting against mediocrity. It shows up as a mindset first then it influences other parts of our life. We have to give our young people permission to hit a ball over the fence, and fail trying. It's OK. It's really ok.

You don't always have to be on a name-brand team to make it. Sometimes it's as simple as just being "good enough" where you are. And when you play against those "name-brand" teams -just dominate them & prove it. Better to beat them than to join them.

Big misconception in the present state of the game is that we think bcuz someone is good at it, they should love it equally. How good they are at the game has little to do with how much they love it. I think there are players who actually aren't that good & love it more.

Sometimes we watch how a great hitter moves & we believe everyone can move that way & get similar results. But in many instances, it's how great hitters SEE, that enhances WHEN & how they move. And it is how great hitters THINK that contributes to consistency

What U post is not always what/who U really are rather what U want others to think u R. What ur not posting is a more accurate representation of the real U. The disconnect from reality almost has even u fooled. However, the game is real & it exposes the insincerity of UR walk.

Entitled Ignorance is the reason why someone can buy a spot on a team & a spot in a showcase & expect a power 3 team to recruit them or owe them recruitment. It never occurred to them, they should strive to be good enough as well.

We have been talking alot about self-talk & how positive it should be. Your sub-conscious perpetuates your thoughts which become Self-talk, which become reality. You are responsible for what you allow in your headspace. 20% swing, 80% mindset.

The hitting pie is 40% Vison-perception, 40% Cognitive & 20% Swing. That entire pie is baked in an oven called mindset. Practice players have mastered the 20, but gamers take the 80% to make 20% matter.
