When looking to improve, you should always kick the tires on narrow 🫡

Early reports that Ryan McMahon has been working with the Yankees coaching staff to narrow his batting stance. So far, he looks like an entirely different hitter — absolutely raking.

If you’re tired of seeing my face in your newsfeed or on the TV, apologies in advance, because it’s about to get a lot worse. By the end of the year, you’re going to be absolutely sick of me, due to America’s ever widening skills gap, and our ongoing attempts to close it with a record number of work ethic scholarships from mikeroweWORKS, and therefor, a record number of invitations to apply.
The situation is serious. Skilled tradespeople are retiring much faster than they’re being replaced. For every 5 that leave the workforce, two come in. The math is not sustainable, and not a week goes by that I don’t hear from some industry leader wondering if I can help with their recruiting challenges. Every trade is in demand like never before. In fact, there’s been so much outreach from so many CEO’s and elected officials, that we’ve doubled the size of our scholarship fund, and extended the application period this year from six weeks to nine months.
Last year, we received 10X the number of applications we normally get, and this year, with the disruption of AI, I suspect the number will be even higher. These are AI-proof, six-figure jobs that don’t require college debt, but instead, training. Thus, I will be cluttering up the media landscape with an onslaught of invitations to apply for scholarships, (like the one attached,) and good-natured appeals to support our efforts with a modest (or immodest) donation.
Toward that end, I’m pleased to announce that the enrollment period is officially open. Funds are now available to help train the next generation of skilled workers. My goal this year is to award $10 million in scholarships, and you’re invited to apply today. Or, if the spirit moves you, to support our efforts with a donation of any size. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss at mikeroweworks.org.
If nothing else, please share this, so others can be similarly annoyed with another unsolicited invitation to help us close America's skills gap.

@uTeeBaseball I thought it was based on the hitters height. Both calculated as a percentage. Ie 23% of height to say 60. I’m sure on the actual numbers used.

So this ball is “low” by 1/5 in. lol
Been saying this for years - who sets the low limit?
Lines inside and outside are immutable.
But up and down are judgment.

Baseball is going to be unwatchable this year with this rule. Big mistake. #SheGone

11/10 Building your Doubt Muscle is the difference between coasting and competing.
When you silence the question "Am I good enough?", you lose the engine that drives you to improve. The greats don't find peace—they keep the conversation alive so they never stop growing.
This is part of the "Go Again Anyway" series.
Repost to help an athlete who's currently "icing" instead of "training."

1/10 What if "Am I good enough?" isn't a sign of weakness, but the fuel you need to stay sharp? Most athletes try to kill their doubt. The greats—like Kobe and Serena—built a muscle to carry it. 🧵 #MambaMentality
