Passion and Flair

[Anderson Miller @AndersonLMiller]

Your circle is your ceiling.

What they think
What they do
What they say
How they act
Their habits

They directly influence what you do daily.

And what you do daily is who you are.

You are what you repeatedly do.

Presence and aura. Compete in the moment. How many pitches can you win?

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

Presence is the part of the 'swing' nobody trains.

When you walk up to the plate..

Are people saying "oh, the pitchers in trouble here"

Or do they see your presence and think "he's got no chance"

Hitters spend all waking hours on their swing and zero time on how they carry themselves in the box.

Or on deck.
Or walking up to the plate.

Train how you carry your bat walking up to the plate.

Train how you have that slight 'good luck' stare down at the pitcher.

Train how you give off 'you better not miss' vibes to the pitcher.

Pitchers read it.
Coaches read it.
Your family reads it.

You step in unsure with your head down and you've told them how the at-bat goes before the first pitch.

The ones who own the box aren't faking it.

They know their plan, they trust their swing, and it shows.

Go watch your own video,
Go train it.

You'll be surprised by how much better you perform.

> Send this to a hitter who needs it
> Save this for when you need it.

Being too coachable is overrated. It’s done with good intention, but most coaches don’t have your best interest in mind beleive it or not. Don’t listen to everything that you get told. Take your career into your own hands and lose on your own terms.

You are your own best coach.

One of the biggest things I see in several high school players is a lack of urgency to develop. Parent think their kid gets fixed from 1 lesson or from spamming drills fixes a player— or buying a new $500 bat fixes their $1 ability— and they should wake up an MLB all star.

Murakami - Home Run to Centerfield

- Never looks rushed, makes 95 mph look like 65 mph
- Stays in on the ball very well and for a long time

[Florida Baseball ARMory @ArmoryFlorida]

Do you have to lift heavy to throw hard?

Give Randy’s take a listen 👂

[Jonathan Lucroy @JLucroy20]

Projected MLB catcher at 12 years old huh? Alrighty then.

Working out with D1 schools at 12 is probably a college instructional camp. I did a bunch of them myself.

Seems that he is greatly exaggerating.

However, I do believe his drug story, believe it or not.

[Jonathan Lucroy @JLucroy20]

I’m not too sure I’d listen to this guy.

"Grind. Sweat. Be frustrated. Almost quit a few times.

It's all part of becoming an overnight success."

[The 9-Hole @the9holepodcast]

Down 16 runs. Broken back. 0-for-4 start.. and somehow we still won.

👉 From my In-Season Workshop with @McDaniel_BASE

KEEP GRINDING!

If you want to build that kind of mindset - DM me - I’ll show you how to take your game to the next level.

Baseball showcase companies taking money from parents who’s kids throw 74 mph and run a 7.91 60 yard dash

Baseball sucks like that. I think that’s a big thing the average person doesn’t realize because it’s not a physical contact sport. Baseball is taxing on the body. Half the battle is getting the nervous system excited to do the tasks at 100%, even when the body is feeling 💩

[Jonathan Lucroy @JLucroy20]

There was never 1 game where I felt 100%. Early on I accepted it as a part of my position (catcher) and that I had to live with it and grind through it everyday.

[5 Tool Performace @5ToolPerf_]

@JLucroy20 Very few fungo wizards out there

[Jack Barry @jacthlete]

Yup.

“Fiber” will be on the front of every slop box in 2 years (instead of protein)

With the help from our infield coach @b_szink12 I have created a Google Drive with 300+ videos dedicated to infield, outfield and team defense. If you have interest in something like this, hit the RT and I will reach out on how to access it. Preview below:

@johnb_sp Drinking my black coffee from the ground blind while I get snowed on all day as we speak. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Peaceful out here. Coffee just makes it even better.

There’s bad coaching and instruction at every level (youth all the way to professional). A lot of guys careers tank because they’re too coachable and listen to too much information.

I heard the analogy the other day and wish I had heard it years ago.

If you were a drug dealer making $20 million a year— generational wealth— and there was a 0% chance of you getting caught (full proof plan)— and a friend came up to you and said “hey you shouldn’t do that, you might get caught,” — even though there’s a security of 0% chance of you getting caught would you listen to them?

The answer is ultimately no, you wouldn’t listen to them.

The same thing goes with your career as a baseball player— and hitter specifically. There’s always gonna be voices telling you to do something or tweak this, but in the end you are your own best coach. If you have your principles that you follow that make you a great player and the metrics are legit—stick to that and don’t listen.

We don’t need to reinvent the wheel every day or every swing in the cage.
