Leadership is hard because it means you have to tell people they’re not good enough. Everyone can’t be the best. Too many leaders today are afraid to have difficult conversations. This will forever be my favorite Saban clip.

Nick Saban was asked a question after practice once. His response was 70 seconds of gold on what it takes to be successful in life. Here’s Saban on the Illusion of Choice: “These guys, they all think they have this illusion of choice. Like I can do whatever I want to do. “You have a younger generation now that doesn’t always get told no. They don’t get told this is exactly how you need to do it. So they have this illusion that they have all these choices. “But the fact of the matter is, if you want to be good you don’t really have a lot of choices. It takes what it takes. You have to do what you have to do to be successful. “You have to make the choices and decisions to have the discipline and the focus to the process of what you need to do to accomplish your goals. “All these guys that think they have a lot of choices are sadly mistaken. As we all have done with our own children, they learn these lessons of life as they get older. “Sometimes the best way to learn is from the mistakes you make, even though we all hate to see them have to make them, and we don’t condone it when they do.” – I’ve studied Saban for 12+ years, and the Illusion of Choice is one of the most powerful concepts I’ve come across. Some key takeaways: 1. Excellence has a price. We can complain about that, but it’s a fact of life. 2. Most people don’t want to pay that price. They just haven’t admitted it to themselves. 3. Saying you want to be excellent is easy. Becoming excellent is hard. 4. There may not be one way to become great, but there are very few. And they all have discipline and consistency in common. 5. Every action we take is a choice. We’re choosing to make progress, or we’re not. 6. The formula for becoming successful: Your Daily Choices x Time. It’s simple, but we make it complicated. 7. Sometimes we learn more by making the wrong choices. Reflect on them, pull out the lessons and move on. 8. You have to choose what you do every day. Don’t follow your feelings. Choose to do what will make you better. 9. There are no long-term hacks. It takes what it takes. ||| Hope this is helpful. Follow me @TMitrosilis for more writing.

“Coach, I don’t want to lift in-season. It’ll make me tired and sore for games.” The more we dive into the research & what logical training says, IN-SEASON TRAINING is a MUST! Here are 10 strategic tips for in-season 🧵

Another example of what’s wrong with youth baseball by @prospectdugout and @PGYouthBB Notice the sound of the bat, the elbow guard and the oven mitt to go along with the bat flip and Randy Arozarena style pause before home plate. Thanks @MLB 👎🏻 #shegone @notgaetti @twuench

I wonder what his 60 time is? Be an athlete.

The Division 1 baseball recruiting period ended yesterday. There will not be D1 coaches at any of your games, showcases, practices, etc. until March 1st of next year. The only exception is if you attend a camp at an individual school. Now is the time to get after it on the development side. You've got 4-5 months to separate yourself from everyone else. Lift... eat well... take care of your body... work on the things you are not good at... challenge yourself! This is also a great time for '24 grads to start expanding target school lists. Keep all options open. D2, D3, NAIA, JC are all very competitive and there are players from every level transferring to D1 schools now because of the transfer portal.

I heard a great line this weekend from a friend who coaches college baseball, in regards to an interaction he had with one of his players, following his freshman year. "It's amazing. None of the things that I thought mattered when I was in high school, are actually important." That same sentiment was mirrored by a player I've worked with in the past who is in his freshman fall. I'll tell you this too - at some point, I had that same revelation myself. When people that I know watch young people play baseball, it's very rare that they are there looking for the same things that a young high school player is trying to achieve. The evaluator isn't looking for the player who gets three hits that day. Yeah sure it's nice if you do it, and then you can probably make a post about it on social media, and it certainly doesn't hurt your cause to get hits, but let's be clear here, it's generally the last thing that the person watching you cares about. That evaluator is looking for someone who is in control. In control of their emotions. In control of their timing. In control of how they take balls between innings. In control of their on deck routine. In control of how they run on and off the field regardless of their last at bat. In control of how they make an out. Consistency comes from great habits. No one is saying it should be fun to make an out, or make an error out in the field. That's not it at all. It's the ability to overcome that moment that makes players special. Everyone in the ballpark knows that you're frustrated when you make an out in a big situation. You don't need to stomp around the dugout and slam stuff to the ground to show everyone it bothered you. If you want "real" baseball people to notice you, learn to take control of the things that you think no one is paying attention to. It will accomplish two things. 1. It'll help you perform better over time. 2. It will make you stand out like a sore thumb on the field, in the best way possible.

5 ways high school pitchers can get on a college coach’s radar: 1. Throw hard 2. Throw lots of strikes 3. Dominate at your level 4. Have a high baseball IQ 5. Be the hardest worker on the team What else would you add? @FlatgroundApp
