Discipline is NOT doing what you’re told to do. That is obedience. Do you get that?

Discipline is establishing clear standards and aligning your decisions and actions with those standards.

Some standards will come from outside you, but most of them should come from you.

Any path you pick comes with specific prices. Real prices. Heavy prices. When you pick a path, you pick a price. Don’t entertain the fantasy that you can find a path without a price. Every path comes with its price. The best you can do is pick a path with purpose and pay the price with a smile, even when it’s through gritted teeth.

Great daily warmup as well, get the hands and eyes working. Stay loose, be water 

How many times can we interact with the baseball everyday? 

Both drills come from @troskybaseball

PLAYERS: Be a player that is HARD to play against but EASY to play with. You should be a dream teammate but a nightmare for the opposition.

To succeed as an athlete, you must love training just as much as you love winning.

[The Catching Guy @TheCatchingGuy]

Here is just a taste of the life of a big league @Reds catcher during @MLB spring training…

1. Angled live receiving,
2. Ground balls,
3. Machine receiving (right handed breaking ball, left handed low heat),
4. Footwork & exchange off machine,
5. Bullpens and,
6. Game time!

You either pay for mediocrity or invest in excellence.

This is the choice champions must make daily.
