At @CresseySP, we’ve seen athletes from middle school all the way through to pro careers. Consistency is a big differentiating factor with them; they train inseason and never miss training sessions. There might not always be steady linear progress, but there’s never regression.

Classic

Some sophomore utility guy is scrolling TikTok right now while eating hotel eggs and a stiff bagel unaware that he’s going to rip a big knock in three hours to help win a series

To follow up - yes I will pay and I can’t wait for opening day ⚾️

Some of my best memories as a kid were spent with my friends on a summer night at Petco watching a game that never seemed to end. Honestly, my favorite nights are still spent at the ballpark with my wife. Spending 300 and getting in and out of downtown for a 2 hour game though🤔

[Dr. Derek Rustich PT, DPT, CSCS @DRustich]

I also love the thought process between pitches . Everyone has a different perspective I suppose

Time of game for Padres-Mariners: 2 hours, 29 minutes.

Time of game for Rangers-Royals: 2 hours, 33 minutes.

This is spring training and a minuscule sample. But it's hard to understate how drastically the pitch clock is going to change baseball.

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

Now that we got our first look at the pitch clock, we see our first clock infraction

Manny Machado started off his at-bat, 0-1 because he took too long to get into the box https://t.co/pUcAdyZAkx

[Dr. Derek Rustich PT, DPT, CSCS @DRustich]

Terrible for the game. I can see why guys hate it.

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

Your first look at MLB's pitch clock

@EricCressey Dustin may going to be sitting 120 when he shortens it up

God is good. Went private two months ago and I’m flirting with a full schedule already. Bet on yourself always 🙏🏼

Time for the NFL to implement a “game altering penalty challenge” unfortunate way to end a fun and competitive Super Bowl

[Dr. Derek Rustich PT, DPT, CSCS @DRustich]

@rmharrington13 @coles_muse @barstoolsports Bro watch any one on one coverage during any NFL game. Flags flying every play if u think that’s a hold. Not a hold sorry

@BrantRustich @SJD10304 It’s like that time I shot a 59 at Torrey Pines but no one was there.

[Dr. Derek Rustich PT, DPT, CSCS @DRustich]

Bump. Focus on building a relationship built on trust, respect and professionalism - then you’ll have the real data you need to make informed decisions for rehab/training. On a weekly basis I have guys tell me things they refuse to tell their medical staff.

PSA 🗣

Your athletes don’t care:

-How smart you are
-What certifications you have
-How many degrees you have

What they do care about:

-How do you make them feel?
-Can they trust that you are making them better?

[Arnel Aguinaldo @Arnel_Aguinaldo]

The Point, indeed. ⚾️🙏🏽

@bigdonkey47 @CamPrice15 Depends on a lot of factors, needs to be the correct type of tear, location etc but there is an internal bracing option for the UCL which does shorten the timeline. (6-8 months)
