Why do so many kids quit baseball at 13? Steve Springer has heard every excuse. But the real answer is usually simple. It is the pressure put on them by the people who love them most. Parents who turn the car ride home into a postgame review. Coaches who only talk to a kid if they got two hits the night before. Ten year olds playing with tension, anxiety, and pressure instead of calmness and focus and fun. Steve's response to the parents who ask what happened: you know what happened. You were a whack job. Hard to hear. But the cost is real. Kids who quit at 13 because of that pressure don't always come back to the game. And even if they do come back, it's usually not til they are 17, once their body changes and they want to try again. That is four years of instincts they never get back. Steve Springer has coached, scouted, and played professionally for decades and this week on the podcast he breaks down what kids need at every age to keep developing instead of burning out.

Weighted baseballs are one of the most debated training tools in baseball right now. Some coaches swear by them. Some say they are destroying arms. And if you have a pitcher in your house you have probably heard both sides. Here is what Dr. Kevin McGovern has seen in over thirty years of working with pitchers at every level: the arm is the caboose. Power does not start there. It never did. It starts with two movements most pitchers have never been taught correctly. The hip hinge and scapular depression. Master those two things and you have built the foundation that every other training tool has to sit on top of. Skip them and it does not matter what you throw or how hard you throw it. The body will find a way to compensate and eventually it will find a way to break down. Dr. Kevin J McGovern, PT, CSCS has been on this podcast three times now because this stuff matters and not enough people are talking about it. This week he breaks down exactly how to build velocity the right way without destroying your arm in the process. Want the full episode? Comment PODCAST and I will send it over.

When you pull up the tuition for a D3 school, the number hits you like a wall. You show your parents. They shake their heads. Someone closes the laptop. And just like that, a school that could have been the perfect fit gets crossed off a list it never even made it onto. That happens every single recruiting cycle. What most families never get to is the part where the sticker price is not the real price. Where financial aid, merit scholarships, and one of the highest discount rates in the country bring that number down to something that actually makes sense. There are athletes on D3 rosters right now from public schools, from towns that are not affluent, from families who almost did not apply because of that first number they saw online. They kept digging. And it changed everything. Every school in the country is also required by law to have a net price calculator on their website. Plug in your GPA and your family's information and you will get a real ballpark number, not the scary one on the homepage. Brant McAdams is the head football coach at Pacific Lutheran Football and this week on the podcast he breaks down recruiting from a head coach's perspective and what families get wrong about D3.

Right before this… His son, a Division 1 baseball player, hit a home run out of the stadium against LSU. Made ESPN. On top of the world. Then… slump. 0 for 13. 8 strikeouts. Not even playing. And this was the message: So what. Show up. Have fun. Be a great teammate. Stay ready. Because your opportunity is coming again. That’s what most athletes struggle with. Who are you when things aren’t going your way? Because coaches are always watching that. In the full episode with Jose Rijo-Berger with 108 Performance , we get into: - how to handle slumps - what coaches actually look for beyond stats - and how to separate yourself as an athlete This episode drops on Thursday. Comment PODCAST and I’ll send it to you when it’s live.
