I am often asked whether a pitcher should pitch during the fall. There isn't a hard and fast rule; however, I wouldn't pitch in back to back falls generally. It is also based on the number of innings prior to that fall season. Future success and health are directly tied together, especially in terms of overuse. We talk about this and more this week on The B Spot Podcast out now on Spotify

If you only work hard when you feel motivated, you’ll never be consistent enough to reach your biggest goals. To succeed in life, you need to have the discipline to work hard even when you don’t feel like it.
Just because I am not following you doesn’t mean I’m not watching. I can only follow so many accounts a day and catching up is tough. Just make sure to tag us in your videos for the retweet.
College baseball season just ended in Omaha @NCAACWS I want to bring attention to the parents of college baseball players who on average are paying 65% of their sons tuition for 4 years. 11.7 scholarships for baseball, 85 for football, Ice hockey 18. Time to fix this NOW NCAA
Your body language on the baseball matters.. your attitude & energy matters.. how YOU come off/on the field matters! How YOU handle adversity MATTERS..
Are you as great of a teammate when you're 2-2, when you're 0-2?
“Slow is smooth, & smooth is fast”
NO!
Slow is smooth until it has to be fast. Then it becomes rushed & out of sync.
FAST becomes smooth when moving explosively is the norm. The body needs reps moving fast to adapt to the pace without being rushed.
Move fast to become smooth!
Reminder for the post-game drive home: Cancel the lecture!
0-3 feels like 0-30 when you’re a kid. Your athlete already has a lot of negative self-talk going on inside their head.
Remember how you feel when you struggle in life & how little criticism helps.
Be empathetic!
Players: how many of you would walk past $7 cash on a ball field & not pick it up? That’s exactly what you do every time you leave a Baseball out on the field to get ruined or stolen. Want good baseballs to hit & practice with?...take care of the ones you have.

Players...if you need to ask your coach what you need to do to earn more playing time...you’re not working hard enough. Make him play you, leave NO doubt.
