PSA: Running your athletes to death for punishment isn’t going to magically make them better free throw shooters, passers, ball carriers, or wrap up tacklers.

Love it. Don’t put limits on yourself. Listen to your body — and if you like bench press then bench press! Learn how to do it perfectly and get after it!
Isolated muscle strength *IS* functional strength!
They should never be the focus of your workout...but don’t be afraid to bust out some bro lifts to end your workout or as supersets.
It’s tough to put on mass without ISO’s and adding muscle mass is hugely protective.
Often times athletes will avoid training overhead in order to protect against injury. However, I believe they’re doing just the opposite. The nature of the sport requires you to be strong and stable overhead. By neglecting to train overhead you’re putting your arm at extreme risk
The competition is never in the other dugout, it’s between you and you in your own head.
Clarity vs Clutter
Simple vs Complex
Trusting vs Thinking
Present vs Past/Future
Controllable vs Uncontrollable
Opportunity vs Threat
Win these battles and the scoreboard will work out.
Just because you do something often doesn’t mean you’re getting better at it.
I drive every day, but I’m not much better now than I was 10 years ago.
I cook every day, but I’m not getting any closer to being a gourmet chef.
“Showing up” isn’t enough if you want to get better.

If someone tries to put u on a "Throwing Program" that IMPOSES a Pre-Determined:
1) Time limit
2) Distance limit
3) Volume limit
4) Arc limit
BEWARE.
This is how your arm gets "PROGRAMMED", rather than LIBERATED.

Pitchers:
When you get to college...
Are you going to be a robust, well-built athlete with a strong foundation ready to play right away?
Or are you going to have to waste an entire year developing those things once you get to campus?
Don’t wait. Put in the work today.
Development is pretty simple: Do more.
Not gaining weight? Eat more.
Trouble putting on mass? Lift more.
Trouble gaining velo? Throw more.
Not getting feel for new pitches? Spend more time on the mound.
Trouble learning something new? Study more.
