Getting STRONGER. After 5 sets of 10 at 165lbs on the trap bar and then 4 sets of 8 at 185lbs he finished his final set pretty clean.
Working on power, now gotta translate it to rotation. He’s working.

His 1st HS season was a HUGE reality check but he NEVER quit. Redoubled his efforts and took a HS avg. BELOW .200 & improved it. Fighter.
His next test is coming and more lessons are sure to find him but I f he stays in the course he’ll be okay.

Aidan finished up HS summer ball in a good way. I am happy for the kid and that he gets to feel some satisfaction from his work ethic.
Would have been nice is the camera lady did a little better on the team photo though haha.

Day 168: Friday Fun Day, he chose to crank it up and move close after slider work. It was a challenge but had a few good shots.
Last summer tourney is coming up tomorrow. I hope he’s done enough to earn a good close to the season.

Day 167: Frustrating am slider work, Coach Logan guided him through it. Gave him a drill to help him stay through and not break off early. In the PM back at it. Had a way better session.

Day 166: HS Summer Ball is just about over; 1 more practice and 1 more tournament to go.
Nose to the grindstone. It’s what we do.

Day 165: Consistency - 1 inch 1 day 1 test at a time.
He started lifting just a few months ago. When he first tried incline pressing, it was the bar and a 10 pound plate.
Proud to see his growth. He’s a worker!

Day 163: Today was a heavy upper body day so the arms felt a bit weak. He powered through it. One day at a time, rain, shine, or tired.
Mental toughness is important, too.

Day 162: Hitting practice, had really good cage sessions. Lots of barrels off the Hack Attack. Barrel control is getting much better.
In the gym the lad surprised me. 3rd set told him to just make it to 10, he shot past that. He’s getting stronger.

Day 161: He’s been eager lately when he sees a ball he wants to hit hard, holding his mud has been tough. So he’s swinging early and pulling off instead of staying through the ball.
Work in progress.

Day 160: Had an easy/fun day today. Been at it pretty hard core so we kept it to team practice and leg day in the gym.
For those that don’t know the pursuit of Platinum Level Rainbow 6 Siege has been the priority for a young man I know haha

Day 158: Discombobulated, 2 k’s. Came in on relief at one point threw 7 or 8 straight strikes.
Day 159: Against mid 80’s just missed one but got the RBI. Battled in the next AB but went down on a HIGH one. Adrenaline got him.
#baseball#fatherandson
Day 157: He was stoked to get time at 2nd base today, it’s been a while and after the game it’s what he was talking about.
However, his hitting journey continues on the positive end. More games tomorrow.
