Hitting is recognizing pitches Hitting is arriving on time Hitting is adjustment making Hitting is controlling emotions Hitting is having an approach Hitting is hard! Let’s not make it harder by complicating it with a bunch of irrelevant mechanical mumbo jumbo. One thing is for certain: If your mentality is constantly consumed with swing thoughts, you have been brainwashed to believe that swing mechanics are the key to your success…. And that is 100% false! Mechanics are important✔️ But… Mechanics are just a small piece of the hitting puzzle. There’s so much more to it! #BaseballTruth

Doing what’s expected of you isn’t special. It is average. It’s what the majority of people do. Greatness requires extra work, extra time, extra sacrifice. Let your effort match your ambition.

If you’re part of a team, you’ve agreed to a standard (of effort, attitude, behavior, etc). Don’t get offended when someone holds you accountable to the standard you agreed to. Just get better.

How to know if you think too much at the plate: 1) You take a lot of crushable pitches, especially fastballs 2) You always think something’s wrong with your robotic, 5 step swing process when you get out. Over-thinking demolishes your ability to hit! You must have a smart approach, but —> DON’T OVER-THINK! #BaseballTruth

ALL BASEBALL Players ⚾️ • You're going to fail • You're going to struggle • You're going to succeed • You're going to have great days That's baseball. Baseball is a roller coaster of emotions. NO MATTER WHAT the results are, KEEPING BATTLING 😤💪

Being part of a team requires sacrifice. It's not about what's best for you individually, it is about what's best for the whole. You must buy-in to the vision of the team. Commitment over convenience. Easier said than done. Reject your ego. Serve.

Your circumstances might not be your problem. Your problem might be your perspective about your circumstances. Your problem might be your response to your circumstances. And those are things you can control.

Success is the result of persevering through many failures. Falling down is normal. Most people give up. The best get back up.

Think about how much time and energy you’ve wasted by worrying. Think about what it has cost you. Choose to spend your time and effort on things that make you better.

Many are capable, few are COMMITTED. Mike Tomlin nailed it. It’s not about what you’re capable of - it’s about what you’re willing to do. Many people have talent, but commitment and excellence are rare. Commit, show up, do the work, and stack the days.

Tough teams do 3 things better than everyone else: 1. They communicate 2. They hold each other accountable 3. They keep showing up, no matter what It’s not just a mindset. It’s your standard.

It won’t always be the perfect time. It won’t always be the perfect circumstances. Still, you control you. Be good enough that you don’t need things to be perfect to bring your best.

“I love watching you play.” That’s it. No stats. No critiques. No car ride commentary. Just presence. Just support. Just love. It’s the phrase every kid needs. And too few ever hear.

HS Baseball Players ⚾️ Recruiting isn’t about who finds you. It’s about who can’t ignore you. Work so hard, improve so much, and compete so relentlessly that a coach has no choice but to take notice. 💯 Take control of your future 👊

Hitters: Many bad AB’s are usually dictated by what you are or aren’t swinging at early in the count. Learn to lay off tough pitches just outside of the zone, Be patient enough not to swing at great pitcher’s pitch locations, Don’t miss/take pitches out over the plate that should get crushed, And your overall outcomes of your AB’s can change dramatically! #BaseballTruth **Notice*** 👇🏼 NOTHING was mentioned about swing mechanics!!!

Failure happens. Setbacks happen. Adversity happens. Bad days happen. Struggles happen. This is life. It’s about how you respond. Get back up and keep going. Take the next step.

You are responsible for your mindset. You are responsible for your effort. You are responsible for your habits. You are responsible for your choices. Take ownership.

Tough teams do 3 things better than everyone else: 1. They communicate 2. They hold each other accountable 3. They keep showing up, no matter what It’s not just a mindset. It’s your standard.

Phil Jackson said, "Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We." Great teams know how to come together. • They connect. • They communicate. • They trust each other. 8 Things that Bring a Team Together:
