The pursuit of new knowledge is always exciting. But taking the old, the new and the hands on experience of thousands of games/ sessions to influence each player to find one small success at a time makes me whole.

Seems like a great time to repost. 1st video is @parkerbyrd11 hitting, while the kids chant at ALEX BOUCHE, who was outside the cage waiting to hit with @dixonwilliams3. 2nd video is self-explanatory. The kids got the job done, haha! So pumped for @bouche_alex & @ECUBaseball.
On a rainy day off from the 🥎@LittleLeague World Series, a neat few minutes in the lobby, as our Pitt County/North Carolina girls got to hear an inspirational word from @parkerbyrd11. He delivered the hometown 🥎stars a message about getting 1% better each day. @ECUBaseball
@DavisBradley19 Context: DB sometimes tends to get stuck back with little space for his leverage to stay inside the ball. That creates a long disconnected path. He’s working to gain more ground with his stride. More space+better sequence+adjustability=more barrels💪
Our very own @parkerbyrd11 will be featured in a Super Bowl ad for the @CAFoundation this Sunday🤟
This ad will shine light on his journey to become the first person to play Division 1 baseball with a prosthetic leg
With sometimes monotonous warm-up drills, you gotta build in whatever methods keep their focus and keep it FUN! With the very youngest age we work with, @LanceNextlevel using me as a prop for some INTENT & FUN! We got one BINGO!
If you treat a movement skill (like a baseball or golf swing) like a fragile piece of glass that you should be incredibly careful with when you finally "get it down",not doing anything to mess with rythym or timing for example, it will invitably break into pieces on you..
The more I think about sports decision making the more I believe we have it backwards - its not about reacting fast & taking the best option quickly. Its about acting to keep as many options open for as long as possible until one affordance is more inviting & a decision emerges.
YES, OPEN 6AM TODAY…Forecast?
Busy. Lots of BARRELS/CAGE LASERS &IRON MOVEMENT expected!
Roof closed/facility dry/current 76 degrees, no wind & a subtle fragrance of pre-teen/teenage sweat from heavy traffic this wk(Gaynel will remedy that as soon as she gets in!😆)

🥎⚾️Town. Greenville, NC. Friday afternoon. Walk-off single in the 8th inning by Braelyn Johnson sends our girls to the semis of the LLWS vs defending champ Texas tomorrow at 5pm.
