Lifting at 5am is wash.
It is not a grind if you love it.
New program goals:
Cut the wash, develop people/players, train dirty.
Getting buy into development is the only offseason goal. Compete within development.

Treat development like cash. If I have $100 at the start of the fall, how would I spend it? If 99% of games are won/lost in on the mound and in the box, I’m not spending $30 on ‘team defense’ in Oct. I’m going to try and train monsters that everyone is scared of in the spring...

Weighted bat on field BP for the guys today. Adding constraints to help understand body and barrel control is key to our offense. Tougher practice = easier games.

Do not listen and trust everything you see on social media. This is a bad take. We’ve recruited/offered many players through social media avenues. Small schools do not have the budget to be all over the country, and that small school may be the right fit. Use everything you can!
Self promotion is sickening. Players and parents. I don’t know of one player who has received a scholarship offer from a tweet. Tagging schools and coaches is even more sickening. I am a true believer that in 2021 if you can play, they’ll find you. Period.

This is what an ELITE program in Canada does. Invests back into the players that support it. If you don’t have top of the line winter training facilities, you are not elite.
