My JUCO coach used to say “When you’re struggling at the plate, keep your hands up and work down. 99.9% of the time you’re missing under”
Masterclass by Miguel Cabrera
There was a generation of hitters who didn’t have private labs, slow-mo breakdowns, or daily swing breakdowns in their DMs.
They had a cage.
One coach.
And a whole lot of failure.
They didn’t outsource adjustments.
They learned to feel them.
They didn’t run to technology every 0-for-4.
They learned how to compete through it.
They had to figure it out themselves — in the dark, in the mess, in the middle of a season when nobody was coming to save them.
And because of that, they developed something you can’t measure:
Ownership.
Feel.
Resilience.
Technology is a tool.
But awareness is a skill.
We can't let convenience rob this generation of growth.

🚨 Seated Over-The-Shoulder Drill
• Turn on ball release
• Work both sides
• Barehand + cushion the ball in
⭐️ Very simple warmup drill that can be tossed by a coach or teammate.
We want our outfielders to run the way they naturally do on the field. Coach Crozier (@C5telitesports) breaks down a drill that reinforces exactly that 💪
@CoachSwit Best player plays period. Not adhering 2 this will resonate through a program. Sitting a more talented player 4 player's who have "been in the program" longer is ludicrous.
Not saying you don't have elder statesmen of the team but this isn't a union factory job, tenure < talent
