Words can't describe the amount of nostalgia I get from watching this video.

INTENTION changes everything! Two athletes. Same starting point. Same exact program.
But one keeps improving… and the other stays stuck. Why? Athlete A is just going through the motions. Showing up because they have to. Checking the box.
 Athlete B shows UP. Every rep has purpose. Every drill has focus. Every session has effort behind it. That’s the difference between average and elite. If you want to become an elite athlete, don’t just be present; be intentional. Work hard. Compete. Show up with purpose. This post put together by performwithpete needs to be seen by as many athletes and coaches as possible! Amazing visual and an important lesson on how to maximize every training session. Over a thousand training sessions INTENT becomes the difference between success and knowing you could have been more!

I was in Bible college the week before 9/11. Testimony service. Folding chairs. Fluorescent lights. Mandatory attendance. Everyone expected the usual: clean stories, safe sins, spiritual résumés. Then a tattooed giant walked to the front with his wife. Former heroin addict. Former bouncer. She’d worked the streets. Met him through her pimp. Both of them gripping Bibles like flotation devices. They sang. Badly. Then he preached for five minutes. No polish. No structure. No seminary cadence. The hermeneutics professor winced. The English teacher checked the clock. But the altar filled. Heaven moved while the educated missed it. That moment never left me. Because it exposed something most Christians don’t want to admit: God does His best work in people who are still a mess. That’s why Jelly Roll scares the industry. Pills. Prison. Years burned down. Then he grabbed the Grammy mic and said the one name you’re not supposed to say out loud if you want to keep a career. “I love you, Lord.” The crowd cheered. The suits froze. They always do. Because God isn’t finished with him yet. And unfinished people are dangerous. Moses wasn’t Moses overnight. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. Rage took over. Looked left. Looked right. No witnesses. So he killed him. Buried the body in the sand. Forty years later he’s still running when the bush burns. Still seeing blood on his hands. “Who am I?” he asks. God sends him anyway. Not from murderer to hero. From murderer to man still being worked on. Paul didn’t become Paul overnight either. Stephen preached. Rocks flew. Skulls cracked. Coats piled at Saul’s feet while he approved. Years later, after writing half your New Testament, he’s still begging God about a thorn. God doesn’t say, “You’re finished.” He says, “My grace is sufficient.” Your Bible reeks of in-progress redemption. Exodus doesn’t hide the murder. Acts doesn’t hide the coats. KJV. No polish. No PR team. That tattooed couple went home after chapel. Monday came. Cravings stayed. Memories stayed. God stayed. Jelly Roll will wake up tomorrow with the same demons and the same industry pressure to shut up. God will still be working. You’re not disqualified. You’re under construction. Same clay. Same Potter. Same wheel. Build anyway. Fall anyway. Get up anyway.

0-0 curveballs have the highest run value out of all pitches, when thrown in zone. Why? Because it is a FREE strike. Curveballs are swung at just 23% of the time in 0-0 counts when it is IN ZONE. All 0-0 curveballs? Only 15% swings. Knowing this, if you can't land a curveball, it probably isn't a good 0-0 option for you. Understand what pitches you can land and can't. Understand what pitches you are trying to get swings on and which ones you are trying to get takes. Knowing who you are and the purpose behind each pitch is vital to your success.

“Wanna guess where Kyle Tucker just signed?”

Hard throwers don't: 🚫 Push off the rubber  🚫 Triple extend 🚫 Reach with their front hip/leg Hard throwers do: ✅ Hold tension into the back hip ✅ Keep a stacked torso + pelvis ✅ Maintain back foot connection ✅ Hold pelvis closed during linear move

You don’t “turn it on” at 7PM under the lights. You turn it on at: – 6AM lifts – Class on time – Extra indy after practice – Film when nobody’s watching Game day just exposes what you built Monday–Thursday

This tip can help almost every pitcher. Front foot down, then throw, is the feeling you want. Allow your delivery to happen, get to a strong position at foot strike, then bring down the house. Well timed intensity. Stay sideways as long as possible. Build rhythm into foot strike, get violent after. Resist early shoulder rotation, rotate late in a hallway, be patient.

These men are underclassman. You think you’re ready, until you meet guys who are ready. Keep working kids.

@BrooksHarmon11 Great job out there Brooks!

It felt nice to get on the field tonight and umpire our varsity’s World Series game at Bryan College. I want to say thank you to my coaches for allowing me to this but when I was on the field I was watching how they were fielding and hitting. I saw remarkable clean plays on both sides, great pitching, smart at bats, smart base running, having positive energy, maximum effort, and full confidence in themselves all the way. I want to say great job to both sides. Looking forward to watching the softball game tomorrow at 3. I hope both sides do well. Let’s Go Lions! @JulioBorbon20 @JTD03 @RCrhinehart @C_Rhinehart4 @Daniel_And12 @CollinLedbetter @Nate_BCSoftball @BCLionsBaseball @BCLionsSoftball @BryanAthletics @BryanCollege @CadeCook_4 @WillCurcio @LandonT_11 @b_wright2 @Savanna_sch2024 @HalenBennett @MasonAlcorn7 @charmon98448329

“Drop and drive” and “tall and fall” are both bad descriptors of elite lower half mechanics. While not as catchy, here's a more accurate description: “Drift > hinge > rotate > block" Let's break it down ⬇️

What’s your favorite ballpark to play at that’s not your home field? 👀 #NAIABall

Week 1 on the field with the boys!

Please understand how athletic this movement is.

.@TheSavBananas used to be a collegiate summer baseball team, but are now the biggest draw in all of baseball. Many of the players are using the platform to glorify God. "The spotlight is meant to be put on the Giver of all things.” sportsspectrum.com/sport/baseball…

Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn says that the Hogs wouldn’t have even made it to Omaha without the contributions of Charles Davalan. All class from DVH.
