IN-SEASON PROGRAMS We just rolled out our In-Season Hitting + Strength Programs to keep hitters sharp, strong, and confident. What Athletes Get: In-Season Hitting Progressions Lower Body + Core maintenance Upper Body + Core maintenance Structured coaching support Video submission + feedback Post-training check-ins Game at-bat tracking with our custom Swing Angry Game Log We’re tracking: • Swing decisions & approach • Two-strike hitting • Chase vs in-zone swings • Contact quality • Quality at-bats • Count leverage • Pitch recognition • Timing & Execution Did you get a good pitch to hit? Did you swing at it? How was your timing? What was the result? Awareness creates adjustment. If you don’t know why you’re getting out, you’ll keep getting out.

Great article on Texas Rangers RHP @jackleiter22 about focusing on Execution and what he can control. 100% must read for any pitcher. nbcsports.com/mlb/news/jack-…

DAY 1 — THE PROCESS > THE OUTCOME from Nick Saban Everybody wants the trophy. Few fall in love with Tuesday. “Outcomes are a distraction. Focusing on the process of what you have to do to get the outcome is the most important thing.” Scoreboards are lag indicators. Process is a lead indicator. When leaders obsess over outcomes, anxiety increases. When leaders obsess over process, performance increases. Ask yourself today: What are the 3 behaviors that guarantee progress — regardless of the outcome? Win the behavior. The scoreboard follows. Champions don’t chase results. They dominate routines. #ProcessOverOutcome #Leadership #NickSaban #NSGB

“win the drill” great competitive mindset.

New Season. Raised Expectations 😤 Today’s message from Skip:

Baseball Players: Here’s why you should NEVER stop training once your season starts: High School Baseball Players: Across a 20-week season (high school and summer baseball), athletes training 3 days a week rack up 80 extra days of work—leaving their non-training peers in the dust. College Baseball Players: A standard college baseball season spans roughly 32 weeks. Many teams and players settle for a twice-weekly in-season training routine. Even then, that’s a minimum of 64 sessions—opportunities are either seized or squandered. Moral of the story... If you’ve stopped training, you’re making a HUGE mistake! You’re not only missing out on valuable opportunities (80–320 of them) to grow as a player, but you’re also limiting your on-field performance. In-Season Training Program: If you’re someone who’s looking for a complete 12-week training program that you can use this season to optimize your on-field performance and develop your game, click the link in my bio to grab my entire In-Season Training Program.

New string set up for pitchers — a full strike zone web, not just the lower level twine to plunk with a pitch. #stlcards

🚨 Jack Leiter - Pitching Tips (Part 1) • Power from lower half rotation • Upper half stays north-south ⭐️ The legs + hips create the power, the torso directs the power towards the plate.

LIVE FROM THE #ABCA2026 MAIN STAGE CLINICS 🎥

.@Marcus_Freeman1 told me on @NextUpWithAdam the real path to becoming a head coach in today’s college football landscape ⬇️⬇️

Accountability starts with self-reflection. “We’re going to reach our full potential, but there’s going to be some pain. You’ve got to go through it.” - Marcus Freeman

In this Club Throw Drill, ABCA Hall of Famer Jerry Weinstein shows how to help catchers stay compact and efficient by eliminating the long arm swing behind the body. This clip is a preview from the "High-Volume Throwing for Catchers" full-length Barnstormers Clinic video, now available to ABCA members in the ABCA Video Library! ABCA members can watch the full breakdown at abca.org/videos! Not a member yet? This is the kind of practical, position-specific education you get access to by joining!

MARCUS FREEMAN IS THE NEXT GREAT #NFL HEAD COACH. “People outside of here? ND is 0-2. Offense is great. the defense sucks. It's one person's fault. Buchner it's your fault, Drake it's your fault, it's Freeman's fault. It's every person in this rooms fault”

🚨 PSA : Be Coachable • It takes toughness to take criticism • Excuses help nobody • Failure is an opportunity to improve ⭐️ “Be part of the reason we won, not the reason we lost.”

Cougar Baseball took a trip to Feed My Starving Children tonight to pack meals for less fortunate areas of the world. Always great to get off the field and give back as a team wherever we can 🙌

2016 Stanford Baseball Fielding Chart Example Can you spot the 2 names who went on to win MLB Gold Gloves? 👀 This team ranked #1 in the nation with a .983 fielding percentage — only 35 errors in 54 games! 1Bman Winaker had 0 errors all season. Get yourself a first baseman who can pick it!

TEMPLATE FOR GREATNESS

“I’m not here to be your friend.” - I’m here to push you. - I’m here to challenge you. - I’m here to help you be successful. I am a Coach. Marcus Freeman GOLD 🥇
