@PRU334 I have thoroughly enjoyed his commentary. Boy he is gonna be good at this too. I have watched more draft this year just to listen to him. Oh and nail in head... question is how do we teach instincts in hitters that didn't play multiple sports and there already at that level?

@PRU334 Been watching that kid play since he was 9
He was always smarter than every kid on the field since he was that age

“The stress of trying to be perfect is hurting you more than the imperfections themselves”

• Lesson in there @ hitters 🔥

@BBirdsong12 Could be at a place where you get calls win or lose...I know a place like that

[CoachEldreth @CoachEldreth]

@PRU334 We knew! Man wish he never moved lol

Luis Arraez is showing us more under the hood training on what makes him great. Stop at contact swings blended into holding the finish with the head down. Stop at contacts are a great drill to learn how to get connected palm up/palm down.

[JD Pruitt @PRU334]

3 concise/short phrases or words for players to get centered, stay simple, and locked in. Write it on an index card, laminate it, put it in your back pocket as a reminder to keep it simple. Make this part of your on deck routine and go COMPETE! #mentalgame

How Do I Help You Understand?

It just doesn’t matter. There is a GREAT chance they will never remember. It’s NEVER as bad as we think it is…The wins, the losses, being on a losing team, playing with what we believe to be talent below our child’s ability. It just doesn’t matter!!

I’ve been there. Blessed with the opportunity most will only get to dream of. Played with guys who came from NOTHING. Played on the worst team in the league. Played on the team that walked away with the ring. Had middle infielders who led the league in errors and had fielders who ended up being big league all stars. I played Little League, Babe Ruth and American Legion ball. Played no more than 2 to 3 dozen games in a season as a youth. Had coaches who were over the top, but cared. Played for coaches who had no sense being in the position they were in. Played for coaches who didn’t teach. You name it, there is a good chance I’ve been through it personally or have seen others go through it.

We have this obsession with playing on THE BEST team. We think being on a sub .500 team is a travesty. We think playing with and against average, or below average, talent will stunt our players growth. We think…

We think a little too much at times. We try to control everything a little too much at times. WE need to chill out!

I’m going to be honest and I know a lot won’t want to hear or admit this, but this is an adult issue. We get frustrated watching sloppy baseball. We lack patience for all of it. We drink the kool-aid and are sold on “this is what you should do” instead of taking the time to educate ourselves. SLOW DOWN!

That poor baseball, those L’s, those W’s…They just don’t matter. What does matter…Passion for the game, determination to get better, using the lessons, being a great teammate, raising leaders, how we behave as parents, how we behave as coaches, the example we give, what we talk about at home with our kids, how we help them deal with failure, how we help them handle success…What does matter is the people we are raising.

Adults, we must check ourselves. Stop making the GAME bigger than what it is. Help them get the most out of the ability they were born with. If they truly love the game, you will see it in their eyes. You will see it in how they work. You will see it when they are on a losing team just as you would if they were on a wining team, BECAUSE THEY LOVE THE GAME.

Wins, Losses, Trophies, Seeding…Nope, they just don’t matter. Mom, Dad, Coach, Grandpa, Grandma, your mindset matters. Your leadership matters. Their Character matters. Baseball is temporary, but the lessons are forever. Use the GAME to prepare them for LIFE. That’s what matters.

Some hitters go on a tear thinking hit it back through the pitcher

Some players go on a tear thinking hit it over the infielders

Some players go on a tear thinking hit it to opposite field

Some players go on a tear thinking hit a pullside bomb

FIND WHAT WORKS. It may work for 2 weeks, 2 months. Hitting is all about adjustments ✅

Who makes the most money from travel tournaments?

Airlines. Hotels. Tournament organizers.

I hear stories of families paying $5k to attend one week long event. Take a full roster + families…. Easily over $50k.

Now imagine if that money was spent on local resources instead.

@BBirdsong12 Finished it last night... Man I'm a huge Kurt fan even more now
