I just spent hours studying Barry Bonds' interviews, One word kept standing out: CONTROL Controlling the zone Controlling the at-bat Controlling the pitcher’s options Controlling his body and the barrel Yes, he was insanely strong But he focused on what he could CONTROL

The harder you try in games... the worse you hit. That's not a talent problem. That's a trust problem. Your swing probably works. Stop judging every little thing mid-at-bat and just play. -> You can train this. And no, you won’t be able to achieve this 100% of the time. We are human. But, we can significantly improve it. -> When training, and you feel yourself criticizing yourself way too much, getting stiff and forcing everything, step out. Walk away. Reset. Nothing good is gonna come from you forcing. Reset. Change your thought process. Reset your goal and let yourself play the game. Let it happen. Let it flow. Trust your work. Making adjustments mid round / at bat and criticizing yourself is DIFFERENT. Adjusting is productive. Criticizing is not. Big difference. Elite hitters can adjust without hammering themselves. Can you get better at this? Bet you can. Go try. *Make sure you’re following for more on ‘turning BP hitters into game hitters’*

The biggest lie hitters believe: “Confidence comes from getting hits.” It doesn’t. If your confidence comes from results, you’ll live on a rollercoaster. Hit → confidence Out → panic The best hitters build confidence from preparation and process, not outcomes.

Living on the edge!

HITTERS: Attack the big part of the field 🎯 - Better Misses -> More Hits 🔑 - Longer in the hitting zone (direction) - It'll help you stay on the ball (front side)

At the end of the day, it takes what it takes.

𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... NOBODY reminds anyone of the standards 𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... COACHES remind team of the standards 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... CAPTAINS remind team of the standards 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... EVERYONE reminds each other of the standards

A win is a win, but some just feel a little more special than the rest!

Life is about habits. They determine your choices and decisions. Good habits lead to good choices and decisions. Bad habits…you know the answer. If you are a team member with bad habits, the team will suffer. I've seen it often in 39 years in the dugout. #URtheCulture

This is what coaching looks like to me…if they know you care, they’ll run through a wall for ya! Some see a picture…I see a kid who got to be coached by a great man! ⁦@Brooks_Nelson1⁩ ⁦@NorthDawgBSB⁩ ⁦@McKISDAth⁩

Dawgs win 8-3 over Frisco. They all matter and mean something……this one just matters and means more! This will ALWAYS be her daddy’s field. @McKISDAth @mckinneyisd @McKinneyNorthHS
