SLOW DOWN — learned this later than I should have.

Pressure hits → most speed up and panic.
That’s where it falls apart.

High performers slow it down.

Listen.
Understand.
Then speak.

Breathe.
Focus.
Trust your work.

When everything speeds up… don’t.

Big league player. Big league answer.

Susac on if he's earned more playing time: "If my name's in the lineup i'll play as hard as I can. If not, I'll keep staying consistent with my practice and work so that whenever my name is called I'm ready."

Huge District matchup at home against Clinton tomorrow night! Get there early and eat at the ballpark!
JV @ 5
Varsity @ 7

Need an electric atmosphere, see you there!

“Energy” isn’t yelling at your opponent or being overly “rah-rah”. Focus and intent are energy. Being on the top step (or on the fence) engaged in the game is energy. Sprinkle in some dugout shenanigans and rituals and you’ve got the recipe for what energy should look like.

YET. One powerful word that can completely change your mindset, ON and OFF the field.

Ironically, the less you chase stats, the more your stats improve. Why? Because you’re present. You’re free. You’re focused on execution, not outcomes.

Let’s Go!!

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Shitty teams play with shitty tempo.
Pitchers and catchers ignite tempo or destroy it.
Fielders ignite tempo or destroy it.
Dudes on the bench ignite tempo or destroy it.
Coaches either ignite tempo or destroy it.
Pitchers should throw the pitch and catch the return throw backing up the hill. Pitchers shouldn't turn their back to the hitter.
Catchers should get the ball back to the pitcher with tempo and pace.
Infielders should be talking to pitchers bringing energy. Not rah rah bullshit but encouragement.
Outfielders should be talking.
Pitchers should be great at backing up and covering bases.
Fielders should be great at backing up bases.
Baserunners should be great at taking extra bases.
Players in the dugout shouldn't be cheerleaders but should be locked in.
Bullpen catchers should be ready to sprint to the pen with full gear on.
Fielders should get on and off the field with energy.
Great teams play with winning tempo.
