Primal Baseball

PSA: Probably not the best idea to have your 12 year old throw 100+ pitches during Game 1 of your AAU Sunday DH in April. MLB guys rarely touch 100+ in volume, and they aren’t doing it in April after not picking up a ball for 5 months. Travel Ball wins matter that much?

SMILE Let them talk about themselves. Let them think they know it all. You worry about yourself. About moving the things you need to move forward day after day. Say less about where you are going and just act on it. Watch results fall into line.

TEST You will recieve the same test over and over until it’s proven you have learned. The same circumstances will arise again and again. The same result will occur if you do not reflect and change course. Do not let the same mistake happen. Do not let history repeat.

GROUNDED Find that drive. The one that is unshakeable. No matter the external events. The obstacles thrown at you. Use that drive to propel towards your goals and dreams. Strengthen the drive with results from doing the work. Let the drive become impenetrable.

TIME Time can be molded to your benefit. 6 months can change your life. The good thing is, small acts over time lead to incredible results. The hard thing is, these small changes have to be made every day. Not once. Not when you feel like it. Every day. Compound.

GO GET IT It will not come to you. If you sit and wait, someone else will take what you are aiming for. Claw at every small opportunity. Force a door open. Find every advantage you can. The bare minimum won’t get you a seat at the table. Compete.

PATIENCE Be silent in your moves. Speak less about where you are going. Do not bring the work you have done to anyone’s attention. Let them be shocked, let them think it was all luck. Make it seem like magic. Be patient, it’s coming.

@benlkatz Burn of the lungs hits diff

Cold workouts hit different (and not in a good way)

RESULTS The hardest part is you will not see the return for weeks, months, maybe even years. The things you are working towards never seem to grow close. The daily discipline and choices seem like all for nothing. Discouragement sets in. Patience as it comes together.

DISAPPEAR If everyone knows your plans. If everyone knows what you’re doing, where’s the mystery, where’s the magic. Take this time to go off-radar. Out of reach. Return with everybody wondering what happened and how you transformed. Say nothing. Enjoy your win.

CAPABLE No one knows what you’re capable of—not your friends, not your family, not even you. Limits and opinions are thrown with ease as they try and shape your path. They see it through their lens. Do not let their doubts break through. Go see what you’re capable of.

Changing and improving your life requires you to destroy a part of yourself and replace it with a newer, better part of yourself. Therefore, growth is, by definition, painful.

SHIFT You will feel the shift. When vision becomes action. When the gap between what you say you’ll do and what you do closes. You will feel it. The change. Ever so slowly. Let it tempt you into going one more. Doing an extra set, rep, mile. Let that voice talk.

WHAT ARE YOU BAD AT? Find what you are bad at and do more of that thing. Terrible at bench press? Do it 3x a week. Terrible cardio? Run every day. That feeling of losing and being inferior at something is awful, it burns. That burn won’t stop until you lean in to it.

@SahilBloom Small actions = big change.

How to change your life in 30 days... The Grow30 Challenge: (a thread on how it works)

@AlexHormozi Zoom out.

Imagine a random person in the 1700s comes to the future just to ask you if they should upset their loved ones, take a chance, and pursue their dreams. You’d probably say “I’ve never heard of you, or the people whose opinions you care about. No one is gonna have heard of you in the future. So you might as well live the life you want.” And you’d send them happily on their way. We are that random person. And 300 years from now our struggles will appear the same. Very important to us - and also - irrelevant.

@Superflyyy6 Love it.

@primalbsbl The first 3 because I can use them for all facets of the game

You get 3. Which are you taking? 1. Throw 95. 2. Run a 6.2 60 yd dash. 3. Hit 500 foot bombs. 4. Have a 3500 Breaking Ball 5. 0.5 WHIP 6. > 1.00 ERA 7. 10 Strike Outs every game. 8. Start every game you’re healthy for.

ALIGN Things align when you start. Things will not come together for you randomly. You must force them. You must take action. This action sets a chain reaction into your life that eventually will lead to the result you want.

NEW YEAR What is the change of a calendar going to do for you? Why are you waiting for a fresh start in a couple of weeks. You are not promised those two weeks. The date is not some magical potion that changes your behavior. Get ahead of it. Start now.
