Jesus Is King. Let’s Get Dialed.

Shorts

Enjoy this journey while you can. There will be a day when you don’t have anyone to throw with or lift with or play pickup racquetball and then hit the sauna after with. There will be a day when you can’t immediately roll from your workout into breakfast/lunch/dinner with 8 of your best friends. There will be a day when disputes cannot be settled with a game of madden, 2K or the show. You will realize that showing up late for work pales in comparison to the fear you had about showing up late to the field or the weight room. You can say that you’ll still train hard, keep yourself in shape, hold YOURSELF accountable. It’s easy to say when you have a goal you’re working towards with a collective group. But when you don’t have that, damn it gets hard. So enjoy it. Take advantage of the time and the energy. For some guys it happens after 6 years of pro ball. For others it happens after 4 years of college. But it will leave you. Let me repeat that: IT WILL LEAVE YOU AND IT SUCKS WHEN IT DOES.

Screw your “Optimal Preparation Routine” In late 2022 Jacob Degrom was coming off a shoulder injury that kept him off the mound for 4 months. Seeing that his first start of the year would come less than 20 miles from where I lived, I made the split decision to go see Degoat in person I got to the park two hours before game time Hoping to catch a glimpse of some magical pregame preparation from one of the best in the game As I sat just behind the catcher near the bullpen. I watched every move from the time Jacob walked out of the dugout to his first pitch on the game mound. And what did I find??? NOTHING I mean the guys warm up was one of the most basic, vanilla warm ups I’d ever seen!!! Regimented? Sure. He made his first throw exactly 20 minutes before game time. 6:45. Right on the dot. Was watching the clock and AS SOON as it hit 6:45, he turned to the catcher and made his first throw No weighted balls. No bands. No sprints Looked like a standard high school warm up. “Few jogs, few of theeese, few of theeese….” Some light stretching and catch play was all he needed before promptly going to the game mound and hitting 101 on his third pitch. Does this mean that Degrom is a freak? Well, yes. But it also shows how irrelevant a specific prep routine can be for a large majority of players Jacob found what works for him and he stuck to it I encourage you to do the same. Having a mapped out plan for how you want to attack an outing is crucial, but the contents of that routine can vary based on the individual. If you need more prep, more CNS activation, more mobility before your outing to perform your best, so be it! If you HATE long periods of thought and careful planning before you throw, maybe tossing a football around for your “weighted ball routine” could be a better option Just some thoughts. If you liked this story, feel free to give this a retweet and follow me for more baseball training co

There’s only ONE goal you need to have as a baseball player. It’s not throwing the hardest. Or having the highest EV. Or having the most HB on the sweeper. It’s this ⬇️ The day after people hail and gather to witness the pinnacle of competition, this felt like an important message to share Especially with a lot of players starting their seasons this week. Don’t mistake this for me saying that trying to better yourself physically, improve specific things about your game or develop as an individual are bad. They most certainly are not. (I literally have an offer where I give guys individual development plans lol) But that needs to be separate from the game itself. When the game comes around, that’s your time to enjoy the hell out of competing with your teammates. Your freaking boys. The guys you PUT IN all that work with. Just focus on winning. Winning fixes everything. I promise you. Focus on that. Nothing else.

Don’t like competition? Good luck. A lot of players enjoy the THOUGHT of competing But really just like the identity of being an athlete: Wearing the gear, going to the workouts, having the mindset that they “grind” so much more than other students. Fine. But understand that wearing a jersey and competing are VERY different.

Three years ago, two friends and I decided we should coach athletes while traveling the country in an RV We never did. Until today. Decided that if I don’t do it now (or try it for a week. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves) I never would. So who knows. Maybe we do this long term. Maybe we don’t. Either way, stay tuned for updates:
