Don’t train like a pitcher, train like an Olympic sprinter. When I was with the Phillies throwing in the mid-90s, I thought sprinting was eyewash. I just wanted to get bigger and stronger. But here’s the thing—the key to throwing harder isn’t to get bigger or stronger. It’s to... train your central nervous system to fire faster. And sprinting is one of the best tests for how well your CNS is firing. Look at Roki Sasaki, who throws 103 mph. When researchers studied him, they found he had similar characteristics to an Olympic sprinter. Or Aroldis Chapman beating Billy Hamilton in a race—when Hamilton was the fastest runner in the MLB. Or even Shohei Ohtani stealing 50 bases last year. They’re elite at throwing and sprinting because they’re so efficient at firing their CNS. So if you want to take advantage of this, here’s what you do: – 2–3x per week, incorporate sprint variations (acceleration, weighted, max effort). – Do ~10 sprints per session. – Add rate of force development, VBT, and impulse-type training into your routine. And if that sounds confusing, just comment SPRINT and I’ll send you the exact routine I’m using to throw 100 mph.show more

POV: you stopped lifting heavy and threw 98 MPH Up until I threw 95, and even in pro ball with the Phillies and Rangers, all I tried to do in the weight room was lift as heavy as I could. Now that I’m trying to throw 100 miles an hour, I’ve realized that’s not the most efficient way to train. This is something I see a lot of guys struggle with. They go to college, get bigger and stronger, but don’t throw harder. And they wonder why. The biggest reason is they’re not training rate of force development. In the pitching delivery, you only have milliseconds to produce force. If you can’t produce a high amount of force in that time, your velocity will be limited. Once I started incorporating rate of force development into my training, I began climbing into the 96, 97, 98 mile an hour range. My favorite ways to train this are overcoming isometrics, oscillatory work, explosive lifts, VBT-style training, ballistic barbell movements, and plyometrics. All of these teach you how to produce force fast, not just how much you can lift. I also created a full guide on this. If you want it, comment “guide” and I’ll send it to you.

The Easiest Way to Increase Pitching Velocity. When I was going from 78 to 96 miles an hour, I did pull downs once a week. I also did either a mound velo day or a plyo velo day once more during the week. So why do I recommend high CNS throwing? There's a principle called the SAID principle, which stands for Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. Basically, the body responds to what it's exposed to. As cliché as it sounds, if you want to throw harder, you need to throw hard. And you need to throw hard often. If you're only throwing at low intent, there's no real stimulus. There's no reason for the body to adapt and start throwing harder. But when you're doing pull downs and you're able to throw even harder than you can off the mound, that provides the stimulus. You're telling your body that it needs to adapt to handle that level of intent and velocity. When I was throwing 96 miles an hour, I was able to pull down 100, 101, and 102. I was exposing my arm, my body, my muscles, and my central nervous system to those speeds. They had to adapt. And once those adaptations were in place, they carried over to the mound and helped me throw harder.

The Most Underrated Way to Gain 3–5 MPH. This might be the most underrated way to add three to five miles an hour. Almost nobody in baseball is talking about it. It’s called overcoming isometrics. When I first started training to throw a hundred, I thought getting stronger just meant lifting heavier. But throwing isn’t just about strength. It’s about how fast you can fire those muscles. You have to go from relaxed to full effort in a split second. I wasn’t training that at all. That’s when I found overcoming isos. Pushing as hard as possible against something that doesn’t move. It sounds simple, but it works. It teaches your nervous system to fire everything at once. It improves rate of force development and neural drive. That carries over to throwing harder, jumping higher, and sprinting faster. Once I added them in, my velocity jumped about three miles an hour in a few weeks. Here’s how I use them. Split stance isos that match my throwing position. That trains my lower body to put force into the ground. Trap bar iso pulls for total body force. Bench press isos for upper body power. My favorite is tempo isos. Relax for a second, then push as hard as possible for one to two seconds. Reset and repeat. It trains you to go from relaxed to max effort fast. That’s exactly what you need in the pitching delivery.

When I was in pro ball, even throwing in the mid 90s, I never did this. But I honestly think it’s one of the biggest things that’s going to help me get to 100 miles an hour. One of the most underrated ways to throw harder is to implement cross training. Now, cross training in terms of pitching just means you’ll be using something other than the baseball to throw. For example, you see Yamamoto in the big leagues right now. He attributes a lot of his velocity gains to javelin throwing, and he’s thrown the javelin for many, many years. There’s another pitcher who’s one of the best pitchers in college baseball right now in Japan who’s up to 102 miles an hour and attributes a lot of his success to throwing the volleyball and the volleyball teaching him how to move. For myself, I use a football to clean up my arm action. When you use different implements, it’ll give you a new stimulus. It can clean up a lot of the mechanics that you wouldn’t be able to with the baseball itself. For myself and my training to throw 100 miles an hour, I use all of these implements for my arm action. Now, I have a tendency of forearm flyout where my forearm flies out this way, and so I want to keep it a little bit more directed toward the plate. Some of the best ways to do this is to throw the javelin. Because to throw the javelin far, you can’t be flying out. You need to go straight through. The football as well needs to be straight through. Also, just hitting the volleyball. I love watching volleyball players hit the volleyball because the upper mechanics are so efficient. So if you feel stuck in your training, start incorporating cross training.

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.

Charlie Sheen says he took steroids for 6 weeks and added 10 MPH to his fastball for Major League “It was David Ward who directed it and wrote it. He won the Oscar for The Sting when he was like 22. Really smart, funny, good dude, and a huge baseball fan” “I had one meeting with him and he was like, ‘Well, you pitched in high school’” “I said, ‘Yeah. You can film me in a full windup. That I guarantee. But I can't throw 98 or 100 mph or I'd be doing it for a living. I can probably get you somewhere in the mid 80s’” “So I did a bunch of steroids because I was only throwing like 76 mph at the time. I had this trainer, a guy who was a running back at BYU, and he knew a guy that could get steroids. It literally put 10 mph on my fastball in six weeks”

Game 7. World Series. Aroldis Chapman on the mound — 100+ mph coming right at me. Biggest at-bat of my life. The truth is, I wasn’t thinking about the noise, the crowd, or what was at stake. I was locked in on one thing: my routine. My breath. My self-talk. My present-moment focus. In that moment, I wasn’t reacting to the pressure — I was controlling what I could control. That’s the power of a pre-pitch routine. It keeps you calm when the world speeds up. It gives you control when everything feels out of control. And it’s not just baseball. It’s life. When the moment gets loud — return to your breath, your routine, your mindset. That’s how you win the biggest at-bats of your life.

You never know what someone is going to look like or be like when you meet them in person. I'll tell you this, the first thing I noticed about ꜰᴀɴᴜᴍ was his skin. His face was smooth and glowing. And the fabric of his suit was top notch. I wanted to hug him at the door but I was too nervous so I just waved.

What’s the best way to load into your back leg. When I threw 95, I tried to get as deep as possible and load into my back leg as much as I could. The way I got to 98 was by speeding up the drop and getting into my back leg as quickly as possible. As I’m training to throw a hundred miles an hour, I’m starting to think about it differently. Instead of dropping into my back leg and getting as deep as possible, I like to feel more of an impulse. I’m putting force into the ground and the ground pushes back and gives me a burst of energy toward the plate. Studies have shown that the guys with the best impulse from their back leg throw the hardest. That means putting the most force into the ground for the longest amount of time. When you see this, you get guys like Shane McLanahan, Misiorowski, and Strider who look like they’re almost jumping down the mound. They’re really just putting so much force into the ground that it propels them forward. The key for me is I don’t want to put force into the ground by tensing up. I don’t want it to feel like a single leg squat. It should feel more like a max effort jump. The quicker I go down, the higher I’m able to jump. That lets me take better advantage of the stretch shortening cycle and improve my impulse.

The Biggest Mistake of College Pitchers The biggest mistake I see is guys doing random stuff and putting in the work, thinking that’s enough. They’ll say, yeah man, I’m putting in the work, I lift five times a week, I throw five times a week, I do mobility every day. Then I ask them, what’s the goal in the weight room? They say, just lift heavy. I ask, what’s the goal with your throwing program? What’s going on with your mechanics? What are you attacking? They’ll say they kind of just long toss every day and that’s it. So do you really feel like that’s the most efficient path to get where you want to go? If there’s no intention behind what you’re doing, then you’re just doing something to do something. This is most common with college guys in programs where the lifting plan isn’t great and the coaches don’t really help them. They get stronger, but they never throw harder. It’s because they’re not working on what they actually need to work on. If you’re already super strong in college, then let’s focus on force production, power, and your mechanics. You need to transfer the strength you built into the mound. I created a full guide on this, so if you want it, comment guide below and I’ll send it over.

Jameis Winston says he only admitted to stealing the crab legs to avoid a suspension at Florida State “It was a whole miscommunication of how it happened. And I had to do, in terms of talking to the compliance people at Florida State so I would not get suspended and I would not lose no time at Florida State. So that is why I had to confess up to saying that I did something that I did not do” “Florida State has a history of having the hookup, then somebody turning on them, and then they blame it on the player. But I had to take that one because I didn't want no games or anything coming from me” “When you look at the grand scheme of things, if it was free… when it was free, just because you're able to do that doesn't mean that you're not able to not get the consequences when somebody inside the store says that you did do that” “If you are policing your own self and someone inside the store says, ‘No, he did this,’ and they turn you in and then flip their take, they go back and look at the tape, and they've got the footage… I'mma say, ‘Nah, I got them for free.’ And they're going to be like, ‘No, you didn't get them for free.’ You think I'm gonna tell on myself”

Travis Kelce says getting kicked off the Cincinnati football team forced him to build better habits and structure into his life “I was extremely fortunate. It wasn’t just my mother and my father. It was all the parents in the community that I grew up in that I felt like I had embarrassed too, the people that really helped me and supported me growing up.” “So many people vouched for me in that situation. My brother being one of them. They told me I had guidelines that I had to go through. What it did is it created routine and structure in my life that I hadn’t taken serious up until that point.” “Once I found that routine, I began to use that in every aspect of my life. I started using it when I watched film. I started using routine when I lifted weights or when I was training. It programmed my mind to find, ‘How can I get better as a person in all these little aspects of life?’” “My barber growing up told me to go look up Carnegie Mellon’s The Last Lecture. It was a beautiful story about how he figured out what mattered to him. It’s not how you achieve your dreams. It’s how you lead your life in the direction and the routine that you set, and how focused you are on the little things. That’s how you achieve everything.” “You don’t focus on the big goal at the end and have all this hope and desire. All that’s good. Everybody has that. But it’s the ones that strategically put it in place every single day.” “When I started to really get into that routine, man, I just took off. Football became so much more fun because I was having so much more success. I wasn’t just banking on my athleticism. I was using my mind to open up things and do things on the football field that I had never been able to do.”

Travis Kelce says getting kicked off the Cincinnati football team forced him to build better habits and structure into his life “I was extremely fortunate. It wasn’t just my mother and my father. It was all the parents in the community that I grew up in that I felt like I had embarrassed too, the people that really helped me and supported me growing up.” “So many people vouched for me in that situation. My brother being one of them. They told me I had guidelines that I had to go through. What it did is it created routine and structure in my life that I hadn’t taken serious up until that point.” “Once I found that routine, I began to use that in every aspect of my life. I started using it when I watched film. I started using routine when I lifted weights or when I was training. It programmed my mind to find, ‘How can I get better as a person in all these little aspects of life?’” “My barber growing up told me to go look up Carnegie Mellon’s The Last Lecture. It was a beautiful story about how he figured out what mattered to him. It’s not how you achieve your dreams. It’s how you lead your life in the direction and the routine that you set, and how focused you are on the little things. That’s how you achieve everything.” “You don’t focus on the big goal at the end and have all this hope and desire. All that’s good. Everybody has that. But it’s the ones that strategically put it in place every single day.” “When I started to really get into that routine, man, I just took off. Football became so much more fun because I was having so much more success. I wasn’t just banking on my athleticism. I was using my mind to open up things and do things on the football field that I had never been able to do.”

Jesse Plemons sharing how he had to corner the Breaking Bad writers because they were terrified of him is such a wild reveal. It turns out the key to playing such a terrifying character was just pure confusion and writer avoidance. Jesse: I was cornering every writer and no one would say anything but they wouldn't look at me as if I were Todd. They were looking at me really scared and I had no idea why. Jesse: Right before we shot that scene I said, "Vince, you have to give me something. I have no idea what I'm doing or who this guy is." Jesse: He said, "You know when you're driving and a raccoon runs out in front of your car? And if you swerve to the right you run into a ditch, if you swerve to the left you hit an oncoming car. Well, what do you do?" It is incredible that he managed to nail that role with just that one analogy.

Caitlin Clark on how she gets covered by the media: "I think there's just like a false characterization of who I am sometimes. And I get it like as a reporter or as a blogger, like you can write an opinion piece and that's your job and whatever. But at the same time, like you don't know me. Like we've never had a conversation. I get people have a job to do. But at the same time, like don't make accusations about my character and who I am when you don't know me. I understand this is your job and this is your profession, and this is what you get to do. And basketball is my profession, what I get to do. And the reason I play it is when I step in between the lines, I love it. And that's what's so fun about it for me is like, I get to compete. This was always my dream. And nobody should ever try to take that away from me"

Good morning, towel friends. I annotated my interview with Will The Glarer and I thought this section was interesting. "You couldn’t honeypot me if you fucking wanted to. I’ll reverse-honeypot you, motherfucker. Go ahead—try to honeypot me. See what happens. I’ll get more intel out of your agent than you’re going to get out of me." **Grant:** It’s because he doesn’t think straight when he has a woman in front of him, for some reason. **Will:** Grant, you’re projecting, my friend. Grant (Analysis): I mean, that’s what I was going to say to Will. He doesn’t understand this, and I don’t know... I don’t feel a need to defend myself, but you’re out of your mind if you think I didn’t date people in college. I mean, I lost 130 pounds from September 2007 to May 2008—specifically because I was at Boston College and I wanted to date people. I’ve had plenty of relationships. I’m just very disciplined—not because I necessarily wanted to be, but because I heard the call to be a priest in 2013, in the spring, right before I became disabled. I was praying to the Virgin Mary—the Virgin Mother, who’s the patroness of the Jesuit order—outside of Bapst Library. I think it was Bapst. I was praying outside. They have these little shrines to the Virgin Mother all around Boston College. I hope they’re still there; I really liked them. But anyway, I was praying to the Virgin Mother, and I’ll never forget that when you hear the call, it is not a joke. You may not choose to pursue discernment, but you are not getting away from that. It’s not your choice. If you hear the call, you’ve been called to serve. That’s it. It’s not a pact. You’ve literally been called to serve. Your life’s never going to be the same again. I was praying, and I heard the call. It was very clear. The call is different for everyone, but for me, it was like: “The world is yours to behold if you can abscond from your temporal inclinations.” Okay, I know what that means. It was not a choice. My entire life changed from that moment. From that moment on, I never thought about video games or Fridays or the weekend—or women—ever the same way again. I would like to have a partner, to love someone and take on the world together, but I never thought about the world the same way again. So a lot of people don’t understand me. People chase me all the time. I’m not interested in that. I turn people down all the time. I’m not being rude; I just don’t want that. I live to serve. Okay, imagine what it would come down to if I tried to be in the life of every person who wanted me to be intimate with them. I cannot do that. I’m meant to help people. If I was just in one person’s life, I’d have commitments to them and their family—and to my family—that would inhibit me from serving, and I can’t do that. I’m married to the cause: my cause, my principles, and the work that I do. And so it’s not... It’s just that people misunderstand—and will misunderstand—how disciplined I am. I am extremely disciplined over my own urges, over my brain. Everything is just logic. So no, it’s not the same for me. You couldn’t honeypot me if you fucking wanted to. I’ll reverse-honeypot you, motherfucker. Go ahead—try to honeypot me. See what happens. I’ll get more intel out of your agent than you’re going to get out of me. So don’t even do it. Most people don’t even bother because I’ll fuck with their head, and I will take the intel. You have to use intel to get intel, and if the person you’re targeting knows what you’re doing, you’re going to get nothing—and they’re going to rip intel out of your honeypot, and you’re going to end up in a negative tactical position. So that’s why I’m like, “No, Will, no.” I could be in a strip club and trade stocks, motherfucker. It does not affect me at all—at all, whatsoever. Completely disciplined. Zero impact. You couldn’t honeypot me if you wanted to. I’ve seen them try. They did try multiple times—blonde women, brunette women, whatever. I don’t have a type. Okay? I only like intelligent women, and I screen them, so you’re not getting anyone in my orbit at all, ever. My point is, though: No, we’re not the same. Will totally tactically misread that. I am not the same. You cannot do that to me because I’m not really interested in that—not because I don’t find it pleasurable or interesting, but because I’m smarter than that. I work in a very high-level apparatus of government as to the coverage that I do. You’re not honeypotting me. So no, I’ve suppressed those urges, and I don’t want to be involved with that. And the call to serve helped, by the way. It’s just not as interesting when you realize there are so many people to help. Why would you... Like, 97% of the population is there to procreate. We need that to happen. Three percent of the people are going to mold society. All right? You know what I’m saying?

Let's talk about training and how hard you need to push yourself at home before you go for any trials. I remember when I knew that I will be traveling for a trial, i stopped going out of my neighbourhood to play football and I just locked in on training for 2month straight. I will do a roadside jogging from my house to the pitch at Ashiribo and I will train for like 2hrs or more and that was my routine every week except Sundays to rest and I did that for 2 months. Victor McDonald assigned me a coach to train and get me ready and he was by far the hardest I have ever trained. Days where I will tie a tyre around my waist to run on the sand, I did a lot of running,strength training, speed work on the sand with tyre. People who see me train have no idea why I was k!lling myself to train that hard. I once trained with Raphael Edereho a guy who I was looking up at that time and I was not able to walk for 2 days after training with him. I trained like my life depends on it. And I stayed away from many things that will slow me down like, bad friends, drinking, sm0king, including girls and I was just locked in on my purpose to make it happen and it paid off. After 3 months that I left Nigeria the news broke out that I signed for Sölvesborg GIF and People were surprised to see it in the news paper and even my father got asked questions like how or when did I traveled. I thought I trained well enough but to my surprise I was no where near ready at all. I couldn't believe what I saw during the trainings I had to call one of my coaches back home and tell him how hard the trainings are for me. The new generation of young players don't like to train and they except someone to just come and say I will take you to trials. Many have failed not because they don't have the talent but because they don't train enough to meet the standards and social media has made them think otherwise. Your preparation is the most important thing you can do for sure yourself and just like Kobe Bryant said if you are well prepared for it you will not be afraid of failure.

Paul Pierce on Chicago Bulls Front Office saying next GM they hire has to keep Billy Donovan: “In most cases when a new general manager comes in, he wants to bring in his coach of choice. When you clean house at the top in the front office, it don’t make sense to bring in somebody who hasn’t had the success with the Bulls to keep them in place, you know, and then like if things don’t work out, who do you blame? Do you blame the GM? Do you blame the coach? He’s going to come back to Reinsdorf and say, “Well, you didn’t let me bring my coach in that I wanted.” I understand that Billy Donovan is a solid NBA coach, but like the general manager that comes in, if he has a plan and he has a system that he wants to kind of like implement. You have to allow him to do that. It’s just like if I go and I’m the manager at McDonald’s and you fired all these chefs and everything and you keep the one dude who make the fries and the fries ain’t been good. What? Like dog get him off the fries? Come on. They need to get everybody out of here. Get everybody out of there. Get them all out of here.” (Via No Fouls Given)

Jensen Huang on how to convey your vision to employees: Question: "How you convey your vision to your employees and how you keep that sense of urgency in them so that they continue improving themselves?" Jensen: "So the question is how do I convey my vision to the employees and how do we convey a sense of urgency? First of all, you convey your vision the good old-fashioned way. And it's about telling a story. I'm not the best storyteller in the world, and I'm not the best, I don't enjoy public speaking, actually. And if you were to give me a choice right now between doing this versus just answering one of your emails, and I'll give you all my email address, you could all send me an email, and I'd be glad to respond to it. I'd rather do that. You know, I'm still an engineer, and I'm introverted by design, I guess. And I don't find myself particularly articulate. And so I don't enjoy the process of public speaking. But you have to force yourself to do it. It's for a good reason. It's for a good cause. I have to admit that speaking to my employees or speaking to NVIDIA's employees is the single most intimidating thing that I do. It freaks me out. And the reason for that is because I respect their time so much, and I know how important the meeting is, that in your own mind, the bar and the responsibility is extraordinary. But you have to put yourself, and I'm speaking to engineers here, you have to force yourself to communicate at a bigger picture level. You have to force yourself to practice. And it's something that over time you get better at. In terms of how do we communicate a sense of urgency? Just through action. They have to see that when I make decisions or when I do something or when something is near my field of influence, my scope of influence, that I do it with a sense of urgency. And it's amazing what that does. People simply pick up those habits from you. If your CEO works hard, you'll work hard. If your CEO cares, you'll care. If your CEO loves this company, you'll love this company. If your CEO is passionate about the work that we do, you'll be passionate about the work that we do. If your CEO does everything with an extraordinary sense of purpose and intensity and sense of urgency, you will too. It's amazing what happens when you're a leader of anything, whether you're a leader of a project team or, right? As I say that, you could almost everybody just, yeah, I get it. Leader of a project team or a leader of a lab team. The behavior and the values and the habits of that leader has an amazing way of rubbing off on everybody else."
