"It's better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond." Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers This is something I would have argued against vehemently, but something I've changed my mind on completely over the years. Long term development is a puzzle that so many simply can't understand. Searching for bigger and better, usually results in diminishing returns. Players don't have to play on the so called best team, in the best division, in the best tournaments or in the best league to develop. Usually it's the opposite. They need to play for the right team, in the right division, in the right tournaments or right league. The misunderstanding of development is why the transfer portal is absolutely overflowing with kids and parents that bit off more than they could chew. They were always looking for the glitz, glamour and more.

After each game, whether you win or lose, you need to focus on both the positives and negatives of your performance. Learn from your mistakes and gain confidence from your great plays.

As a coach, help your players recognize their potential and inspire them to reach it!

Overthinking destroys just as many dreams as adversity does.

@TJHannam10 @_CoachBCoachB the boys that can straight hit….great video

Everybody tries to fix their direction by training and feeling their bat path. Makes sense. The barrel and hands the part you can feel the most. But your path is mostly just following where your body already sent the energy. Posture leaks a little, the energy comes away from the ball, and the barrel goes right along with it. So when you’re pulling off, it usually started before your swing even starts. It started with your posture and where your body was working. Hands, path, posture, energy. They all work together. Clean up the stride, body energy and posture and the barrel falls in line on its own. Typically. The drill in the video is how you train that. Volume up so you catch the cue.
