[Coach White @CoachWhiteCHS13]

@JoshChambers Absolutely love this. It’s what coaching is all about. Making your players better people and holding them Accountable. Every good coach should have these same morals and expectations and not bend for anyone!

[Jermaine Curtis @JermaineCurtis]

I worked with a D1 player and a D3 player this morning.

On paper...

They looked almost identical.

6'4 200 pounds...

Both had elite bat speed. Both had power. Both were physically gifted.

But there was one difference.

Every time the D3 player mishit a ball...

He complained.
He got frustrated.
He pouted.

Then he'd struggle for the next 3 or 4 swings.

Pop-up.
Ground ball.
Weak contact.

The D1 player?

He'd mishit one.

Make an adjustment

...And move on.

No emotion.
No drama.
Just the next pitch.

It reminded me of something I learned playing professional baseball...

Sometimes the biggest difference between two players isn't their talent.

It's the conversation they're having with themselves in their head after they fail.

Your bat speed matters.
Your swing matters.

But the operating system between your ears matters just as much.

The best hitters I've been around don't waste energy explaining why they failed.

They spend their energy figuring out what to do on the next pitch.

- Jermaine Curtis

P.S. The next time you mishit a ball, don't ask, "What's wrong with me?"

Ask, "What's my adjustment?"

P.P.S. - If you enjoyed this, and thought it was helpful, share it.

Earn > Expect.

The mindset of champions versus the entitled.

Work while others wait.

How are you earning tomorrow's success today?

🚨 Holliday’s Hitting Advice

• “Hit the pitcher in the face”
• Approach > Mechanics
• Be on time for the fastball

⭐️ Overthinking is your biggest enemy on the field. Simplify the game down to 1 thought & commit to your approach.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Marcus Freeman shares a message on focus and why the future is a distraction.

"You waste time daydreaming about an uncertain future. Who cares."

"Stop wasting time on things that don't matter. The future's uncertain so focus on being the best version of you today. That's all that matters."

No one wins tomorrow.

They win today - one rep, one habit at a time.

"Focus on being the best version of you and the rest will take care of itself."

Focus on giving your best and what you can control.

Because anything else is going to be a distraction.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

If your coach has to constantly come to you to ask you to work hard, don’t be surprised when you get replaced by someone who constantly comes to your coach asking for more work.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

They'll understand in a decade.

The coaches who demanded excellence.
The ones who didn't accept excuses.

They loved you most

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Best players spend their energy on these 5 controllables:
1. Attitude
2. Effort
3. Body Language
4. Self-Talk
5. Communication.

🚨 Bobby Witt Jr's On-Deck Routine

• Lock in on the pitcher.
• Time up your stride.
• Visualize what you just saw w/ a swing.

⭐️ Your focus (or lack of it) on-deck is a difference-maker. Get into the box ready to compete.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:

"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

Watch a kid when he does things that don't benefit him directly...Ex: pick balls in cage, shag, clean dugout after game, pick up/carry equipment, chase a foul ball, reaction when a teammate does well, work on field, etc...It will tell you a lot about how he was raised!!
