Athletes, unfortunately overcoming injury is part of the deal. Make sure you have people in your circle that will support your recovery mentally and provide you with ortho docs and the best physical therapists around to get you back on the field or court. Also important to make sure you’re getting the right advice, rushing back from injury will have you out twice as long you never back at all. Take it day by day, lean on your teammates and coaches and friends you trust you’ll be back before you know it. Don’t give up. ✌️

Young pitchers and speed: Be careful. Build arm strength properly before anything else. Protect the small ligaments, because they don’t always keep up with the muscle mass you gain between ages 14–18. That’s why there are so many Tommy John surgeries now.

One of my favorite recent examples comes from the @Brewers. When so many teams are doing player trends and highlight reels, the Brewers are making movies. Their "Arthouse Baseball" strategy takes old Hollywood references and applies them to the sport of baseball.

I got some nerdy shit to say but everybody in the player development travel baseball world will understand. Parents, the player development is in the boring. There are a lot of coaches out there that are probably scared to do the appropriate things to develop your child because in practice it’s boring. Cuts and relays are boring. Bunt defense is boring. First and third defense is boring. Base running is boring however, if you ask college coaches, they will tell you physicality and metrics are at an all-time high while baseball IQ and getting simple jobs done is at an all-time low. I truly believe this is because people are worried players will leave their program. If the things they do are not flashy they think parents will complain and kids will check out which actually happens but let them. There are 16 u first baseman out there every summer that have to be reminded to hold a runner on first base. There are third base out there every summer that need to be reminded that they are the cut off man on a single to left field to home plate. Starting pitchers do not know how to hold runners or have multiple pickoff moves. Hitters do not know their approach should be based on the outs the inning the score and the base runners so they go up there blindly without any objective in the world. Ideally, you wanna find a program that can teach your child how to play baseball while also developing their strength and improving their important data points. I’ve seen it firsthand when teaching players that continuously forget easy responsibilities on the field. They check out when you talk about the things they consider boring. Explain to them that you are relaying messages that you were getting from coaches at the college level and hold steady in teaching the kids the things that will help them be able to get themselves relied upon at the next level.

Parents...Unless they ask, athletes don’t need their performance analyzed as soon as the game ends.

The Boston Red Sox are ruining @stoolpresidente’s life

We are six games into the season

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

Red Sox fans should all wear bags over their head that say sell the team for opening day.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

Let me give you the cliff notes. John Henry and Fenway Sports Group don’t give a fuck about winning anymore. They just want to squeeze every penny they can out of the Red Sox. Gee ya don’t say….

Jaylen Brown broke down his ejection vs. the Spurs:

“(Tyler Ford) gave me this look like, ‘whatever.’ And that just completely took me over the edge”

This the shit I be talking about

[The Players’ Tribune @PlayersTribune]

Jayson Tatum: “When I was in elementary school, my teachers would go around the classroom asking kids what they wanted to be when they grow up. Most of my classmates would say something about how they wanted to be doctors or lawyers or teachers. I would always say, ‘I want to be a professional basketball player.’ Usually the teacher would just smile and say, ‘That’s inspiring, but think of something more realistic.’

Then I’d tell those student-athletes what my mom told me.

‘Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t be. No matter what.’

‘I’m just like you,’ I would say. ‘I’m from these blocks, I played in these rec leagues, my family has had its struggles the same way yours do. There’s no special secret. Just work hard and push yourself. (And if you’re lucky, you’ll have a mom who will push you even harder.)’

When scholarship offers started arriving, every letter would make Mom cry. The call from Coach K was a dream come true — a dream she had been preparing me for these last couple of years, even if I wasn’t so sure that it would ever happen myself.

I thought the lessons were over, but I was wrong. Even when I knew I was going to Duke, Mom kept pushing me.

She’d come into my room when I was watching TV, grab the remote and ask, ‘Jay, if a news reporter came up to you after a game and asked you, ‘What were you thinking, coming down the stretch?’ What would you say?’

At the time, I really didn’t get what she was doing. I just wanted to watch TV.

‘Mommmmmmm! Nobody’s going to come up and ask me these questions.’

But she would persist, so I ended up playing along. She’d be holding the remote in her fist under my chin, like an imaginary mic.

Looking back, it’s pretty funny, but I think it helped me prepare. Now I never get nervous when I have to talk to the media.” https://t.co/ESGDQokanP
