The best coaches don't coach from above. They lead from beside.

Their job isn't always to try and be the smartest person in the room — it's to make everyone in the room better. To lead. To push them to grow 1% every single day. To invest in the person before the player. To be present when it's hard, resilient and disciplined when you don't want to, honest at all times, and consistent every single day. It's to be excellent always, and in all ways.

The moment a coach stops serving their players is the moment they stop deserving to lead them. Development isn't a program feature — it's a daily commitment.

It's not a philosophy. It's just the standard.

To be an elite base stealer, you’ve got to do these 6 things:

1. Study the pitchers tendencies. Holds, looks, TTP, rhythm.
2. Pitch vs pick differences. Leg lift, head movements, set changes, feet.
3. Be comfortable in standard, walking, and vault leads with no differences in look and movements whether stealing or not.
4. Quick and efficient first move, mastering timing.
5. Be athletic. Sprint. Move efficiently.
6. Positive self-talk. You will. You must. You can.

Jensen Huang: “The best career advice I got was from a gardener”

“Very few people know this but I don’t wear a watch,” Nvidia founder Jensen Huang begins. “And the reason I don’t wear a watch is because now is the most important time. Just dedicate yourself to now.”

Jensen explains by telling a story:

“The best career advice I got was from a gardener. I was on a family trip in Kyoto, and we went to the temple that had the largest moss collection in the world . . . All of the moss is perfect, and every species of the world’s moss is there. It was a hot summer day — anybody who’s been to Kyoto knows how incredibly hot it is during the summer — and my family walked by this old man who was squatted down working on the moss with a bamboo tweezer. His bamboo basket was nearly empty with only two or three small pieces of dead moss.”

“What are you doing?” Jensen asked the old man.

“I am taking care of my garden,” the old man replied.

The old man told Jensen that he has been working on the garden for almost 30 years.

“But this garden is so big and your tweezer and basket are so small. How can you take care of the whole garden?” Jensen asked.

“I have plenty of time,” said the old man.

Jensen reflects:

“That’s the best career advice I can give you. Most of the time I wait for things to come to me. I’m rarely chasing things. I don’t have a watch. I’m focused on now. I’m enjoying my job. I’m the longest-running tech CEO in the world . . . Dedicate yourself to learning all the time, doing the best possible work you can, and leave everything on the field. By the time I go to bed I’m exhausted, and I’m happy about my day because I did everything I could . . . You’ll be surprised. I’m not at all ambitious. I don’t aspire to do more. I aspire to do better at what I’m currently doing. I’m not reaching for more. I wait for the world to come to me.“

He continues:

“People who know me also know that Nvidia doesn’t have a long-term strategy. We have no long-term plan. Our definition of a long-term plan is, ‘What are we doing today?’ . . . You have plenty of time. Enjoy your work. Do the best you possibly can. Just keep learning every day, and good things will come to you.”

To be an elite hitter, you have to do these 6 things:

1. Control the zone (swing at strikes, take balls)
2. Master the cage. If you can’t hit it where you want to in a controlled environment, how do you expect to do it in a game?
3. Contact rate. Move the ball!
4. Intentional positive self-talk. You won’t be beat. You’re the best player on the field.
5. Be 1% better than you were yesterday. Set daily achievable goals, and accomplish them.
6. Be athletic and move weight.

@PacificBaseball Hard to believe. Will be missed by everyone.

[Michael Nagamatsu @Coach__Naga]

Your mind and body adapt to your thoughts and words. They sculpt your brain and physiology over time. People who take this seriously and practice things like mindfulness, cognitive reframing, or focused behavioral work will undoubtedly experience measurable changes in energy, improved skills, resilience, and life outcomes.

It can literally be the difference between you being good, and you being great.

[Michael Nagamatsu @Coach__Naga]

Top 5.

1. Hitters that are disciplined and know the zone and take walks at an elite level will help the team win games.

2. Pitchers that command the zone and don’t give up free bases will help the team win games.

3. Hitters that don’t chase and have a high contact rate will help the team win games.

4. Teams that play elite defense with high efficiency will win a lot of games.

5. Teams with an elite OBP will win a lot of games.
