Getting the barrel to the ball, relatively deep in the zone, is a must. Barrel in front of hands while keeping good direction.

[CamWood Bats @CamWoodBats]

Don’t be like a bird dog!

The example here shows Branden pushing up and out of his lower half. When this happens, we lose connection and control of the barrel. That’s why using the lower half and driving down into the ground is so important in the swing—it sets us up our ability to control the barrel and drive our back hip and top hand through the ball. 🗣️📝⚾️

I watch a lot of HS and Travel Baseball and here’s what gets evaluated that most players/coaches/understand:

1. Catch Play - how do you treat “getting loose” before a game? Is there meaning to it or are you just throwing to throw….

2. Ground Balls between innings - 7-3-21
7 inn, 3 GBs/inn, 21 reps/game. How do you treat those? How are your throws?

3. On Deck Reps - What are you doing to prepare for your AB? You have three responsibilities. 1. Time the Pitcher, 2. Communicate w/base runners 3. Relay location to hitter. You’re not there to “get loose”

4. Response to Failure - how do you respond to a Strikeout, an error, a bad call, giving up a bomb?

5. Communication - Are you talking between pitches, directing cutoffs, helping teammates w/ pitcher tendencies, etc.

6. Competitiveness In Non Game Situations sprinting on and off the field, backing up bases, prep steps, moving with hitters tendencies, does every pitch matter?

These are the aspects of the game that are often taken for granted but make a huge difference for your evaluation.

Hillary Clinton says something positive about President Trump, and even she warns the audience to brace themselves.

CLINTON: “I’m gonna say something positive about Trump, so, hold on….”

DAVID REMNICK: “I’ve got a grip on my chair right now.”

CLINTON: “Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza is actually a pathway to security for Israel, reconstruction for Gaza, and the possibility of self-determination… for the Palestinians.”

“There are a lot of people who reject it because Trump did it, but it’s the only game in town. There’s nothing else.”

“I really believe if we took this 20-point plan… all of the 20 points, the whole approach... there is a glimmer of a possible path forward.”

A lot of good hitters have good swings.

But they're not ALL IN.

Their decision making is MAYBE... MAYBE... OH DANG IT.

Instead of YES YES ABSOLUTELY.

(Or YES YES NO when they take a pitch)

Here's something I've told guys when they need it:

"Treat every pitch like it's a hit and run. You HAVE to get the barrel on it. (within reason)

But don't just hit it, DRIVE it. Hit and run, but make it a DRIVE and run."

It's worked great.

If you're good in the cage but underwhelming in the game, this is usually why.

You're not being aggressive enough. You're not all in when you're between the lines.

It don’t matter how old you are, just like this 94 year old army veteran, if you have a ball, a glove and a wall, you will have one hell of a time.

Elon Musk just used a joke to perform an autopsy on the American economy.

Two economists go for a hike. They find a pile of shit. One pays the other $100 to eat it.

They keep walking. Find another pile. The second economist pays $100 back to eat that one.

They stop. Neither man gained a dollar. Both ate shit for nothing.

But on paper they just generated $200 in GDP.

Musk: “That basically would count as a job. This is to illustrate the absurdity of economics.”

That is not a punchline. That is the operating system of the federal government.

Every time a politician celebrates “record job creation” this is what they are describing. Not output. Not value. Not progress. Motion.

The entire bureaucratic machine exists to manufacture friction and then invoice for it.

Compliance layers built to justify the next compliance layer. Oversight committees that produce nothing but the need for more oversight. Consulting firms hired to audit the work of other consulting firms.

Trillions circulating through systems that have never produced a single thing you can hold in your hands. But the GDP number ticks up. So everyone applauds.

The shit gets eaten. The scoreboard moves. Nobody asks what actually got built.

This is why Washington treats AI like a five alarm fire.

AI does not play the friction game. It does not form a committee. It does not schedule a review. It does not file 400 pages of paperwork no one will ever read.

It just solves the problem.

And that is the one thing the machine cannot survive.

The government does not tax results. It taxes the process. The longer the process, the deeper the cut.

AI compresses a ten day workflow into seconds. There is nothing left to bill. Nothing left to tax. Nothing left to skim.

So they will spend the next decade warning you that AI threatens the economy.

What they will never say is what it actually threatens.

The illusion that activity equals progress.

The $200 economy where both men ate shit and called it a job.

The machines are not coming for your purpose.

They are coming to prove that half the economy never had one.

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:

Two kids. One rich. One poor.

Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.

The rich kid has two choices.

Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.

Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.

The poor kid has two choices too.

Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.

Or outwork everyone in the room.

Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.

Same choice for all of them.

Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.

The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.

The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.

Greatness doesn't come from where you start.

It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

The Chiefs just went out and took care of the running back room for the next four years

This kid is NASTY. 1400 yards 12 TDs last season. Is also a really good pass catcher and forced more missed tackles than even Love last season

Welcome Emmett Johnson to Chiefs

A+

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

The best players are students of the game.

They know greatness comes form being humble enough to accept coaching.
• "Just be coachable."
"Just take the instruction."

You can't coach someone who thinks they've already arrived.
