Jay Johnson says "Hold The Standard" is a mantra around the program right now.

1. High Level of Accountability
2. Honoring The Process
3. Team/Me
4. Focusing on Right Now

"There's not one game that's going to have direct value from last year on this team's success this year."

[Tyler Shewmaker @TShewmaker43]

Day by Day…

Left: 3-4 ounce balls, Junior hack (no legs) — ride at the top

Right: 7-8 ounce ball, Junior hack (with legs) — bottom zone

⏳ Wait wait wait… late and fast… momentum with the catch no matter where it is.

Bands. Plyos. Med balls. Long routines.

All great tools. All useful.
As long as you’re not on a clock.

That’s training.

Games are different.

In a game, the first two guys get on and you need to get loose…quick. You don’t get every drill. You get “get hot now.”

What works perfectly in the training environment doesn’t always hold up when chaos hits.

If you can only pitch well when your warmup routine is long, controlled, and uninterrupted, you’re limiting your value to the team.

Start training how to get loose fast.

Ask yourself:
•What do I need to do before the game so I’m already 70–80% ready?
•What’s my bare-minimum routine to be ready to compete as fast as possible?
•What can I do between innings to stay warm without overdoing it?
•What gets my arm, body, and intent synced up quickly?

The best pitchers aren’t just prepared.
They’re adaptable.

Don’t be the guy who can only start because your warmup takes too long.
That hurts the team.

Train for the game

[Zach Brandon @MVP_Mindset]

This is the question Sean McVay routinely reminds himself of to keep things in perspective.

“Would you want to be coached by you?”

Coaches spend enormous amounts of time evaluating others, but what I appreciate about this question is that it gently flips the mirror.

Would you want to be led the way you lead?

Would you want feedback delivered the way you deliver it?

Would you want expectations communicated the way you communicate them?

Would you feel trusted, supported, and challenged in the environment you create?

And if the answer is no…what needs to shift?

The standard we set for others is often shaped by the standard we’re willing to hold ourselves to first.

Success isn’t about doing everything. It’s about consistently doing the right things.
