Getting the flu in a hotel room on the road is a special kind of hell I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

TALK IS CHEAP
Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness@coachajkings
Marcus Freeman said, "You can't talk your way into winning a National Championship. You can't talk your way into being a Hall of Famer...You got to work and you got to constantly focus on improvement." You have to show up and do the work. Your work ethic is something that you can control. • It means competing. • It means committing. • It means showing up consistently. People see success, but they don't see the hard work and preparation it takes. 5 Steps to Improve Your Work Ethic and Focus: 1. Be Intentional About How Your Work - Show up every day with a clear purpose on what you will prepare and why. Think about the quality of your practice, the details, and reflect on where to focus most. This approach ensures your working towards improvement and growth. 2. Show up Committed Every Day - Don't just participate, show up, and commit. It means compete and choose to go above-and-beyond every day. Have a positive attitude and dedicate yourself to what you are doing. When you're focused, present, and engaged that is when growth starts to happen. 3. Be Consistent - You have to be consistent with your habits and work ethic. It means committing to the process of improving and putting in the time. Success doesn't happen overnight, it's the result of consistently showing up and doing the work day in and day out. 4. Prepare Mentally and Physically - This means think about your physical and mental state when you are practicing and when you will perform. Understand what environment allows you to perform your best. Use mindfulness to think about the connection between your mind and body. 5. Create a Plan for When Obstacles Arise - Don’t just imagine the great outcome, visualize what may stop you from reaching it. Prepare for the obstacles. Write them down and plan how you’ll overcome them. This keeps you prepared and resilient when challenges come your way. Takeaway: Talent can you get you into many rooms, but it's your work ethic, focus, and attitude that keep you there. - - - The video comes from Marcus Freeman's interview with @thepivot. A great listen for all coaches, parents, teachers, and athletes out there! Follow me @coachajkings more posts on resilience, leadership, and mindset.

If you’re still recruiting big, physical 2025 RHPs, take a look at @bennett_brathol
First 100% pen of the winter averaging 86, T-87. He manipulates the baseball well and is only getting better.
Plus, he’s a top-notch human who will make your program better all-around.

RT @coach_germain: It was fun to see @JoeAck12 (2026) up to 100% last night.
He’s been crushing the weight room and it’s paying off.

🔔 Minnesota HS Coaches 🔔
If you'd like a free 8-week throwing and arm care program delivered to your athletes to help them prepare for day one of practice, we're here to help.
We all know one week of throwing prior to the start of the season isn't enough—and injury risk increases if on-ramping is rushed—but it's difficult to oversee and ensure athletes are ready.
We are providing a solution to that problem.
✅ Pre-throwing
✅ Throwing prescription
✅ Post-throwing
Send me a DM if you're interested!

Opportunity cost is taught in economics, but it’s important to understand in player development, too.
Time and training capacity spent on X cannot also be spent on Y. Time and training capacity are finite resources.
Set a long-term goal and act accordingly.

Happy Independence Day to America, the land of opportunity, the MASH family and above all else, freedom.
All of us who live and work here are truly blessed beyond comprehension and should thank our lucky Stars and Stripes everyday for it. #July4Th

Real life pitching line for an 11U arm this weekend.
Fun(?) Fact: The coach didn’t break the tournament pitching rules.
In fact, had this been Day 1 of the tournament, he could have thrown another inning and returned for five more on Day 2.
Make it make sense.

Committed HS Seniors: You are 4.5 months away from competing with 22 yr old men for IP.
You have an important choice to make for ~3 of those months: Do you commit to training to close the gap on those guys, or do you play summer-ball.
Which will help you reach your potential?🧵

@coach_germain HE’S BAAACCCCKKK. And p.s., all dads are athletes 😂

I, however, am not an athlete.
And I love a good cup of coffee.

I went four weeks without caffeine, with the goal of resetting my tolerance.
Here’s what happened to my heart rate ⬇️.
Athletes, if you’re struggling to recover and your sleep is poor, I’d take a look at your caffeine intake.
Not novel, but I was surprised by the impact.

@PitchingCoachU @FlatgroundApp A few thoughts:
1—Is their stuff good enough to compete at their current level? Velo + pitch mix? If no, 🚂. If yes, ⬇️
2—Do they have a movement pattern issue limiting their ceiling? If yes, 🚂. If no, ⬇️
3—Did they log a ton of IP this season? If yes, 🚂. If no, compete.
