One of the biggest problems in baseball player development… Is expecting 6–12 year olds to move like Aaron Judge. Coaches and parents watch slow-motion MLB swings… then try to copy and paste it onto kids. But those movements are built on years of development. No young player can replicate... show more

Develop Aggressive Players It is much easier to reel in an aggressive player than it is to get a timid player more aggressive. In development we want to reward quick decisions, and aggressive player than. We understand that playing at that pace will cause mistakes, but their mistakes can initiate growth and we can then teach them how to play at a slower pace as well.

Imagine a travel baseball team built around less travel and more development 👀⚾ That's Bolts Baseball. Instead of spending on flights, hotels, and weekends on the road Bolts Baseball invests in: - 3 practices per week - 3 strength & conditioning sessions - Local games And the average player gained 12–13 pounds in a year! That matters because "the average D1 baseball player is 200+ lbs and average D2 player is 195 lbs.", says Power Baseball Co-Founder Eric lassiter. Physical development isn’t optional anymore. Does the future of club baseball swap the exposure for development? #youthsports

Since 2020, the athletes I’ve trained have earned 32 college scholarships, including some of the biggest programs in the country. One player I helped completely rework her movement went on to become the 2022 ACC Player of the Year. What makes it special is that I’m not connected to any organization, and I don’t have hundreds of athletes cycling through. My training happens in a Little League cage, no tech, no Rapsodo, no bat speed sensors. Everything I teach comes down to one thing: learning how to move from the center out. Five years ago, I realized we were training like everyone else chasing one swing method, one path and all my hitters started to look the same. I knew something was missing. That’s when I dove into movement science, retrained my own body, and discovered that real development doesn’t come from mechanics or cookie-cutter paths. I’ve never been one to settle. Today, I have a few trusted mentors across the country whom I speak with daily about movement and hitting, and I’ve spent significant time learning from them. Most parents and coaches think the next “best drill” will fix a player’s swing. What they don’t understand is that a tool starting in the hands cannot fix the swing. Real development starts from the middle out controlling center mass first. Start at the hands or barrel, and you fight the body’s natural movement. The swing doesn’t happen overnight. Consistency and true swing change come from years of learning how to move properly. When athletes get strong, develop great habits, and understand how to control their center, development skyrockets. Stay patient. Stay consistent. Prioritize movement over results. The swing is built on movement, not mechanics. Control your center, and the rest of the body follows. Adjustability, power, and consistency all start here. At the end of the day, I don’t care what a swing looks like I care how the body moves. Every athlete who trains here learns to control their center, adapt to every pitch, and build a swing that works naturally. Control your center. Control your swing. Be the best version of yourself.

You would be surprised how many times I’ve had this conversation 🤦🏻‍♂️ Not all AAU programs are equal. There are some good ones out there for sure. I benefited as a player by playing for a club. But then… There are some bad ones. And with the bad ones comes a lot of wasted time, money and effort. Empty promises when it comes to development and exposure to college coaches. Some kids on these teams can’t make 10 free throws in a row or dribble with their weak hand but we have them playing 80 games a summer expecting it to magically improve. Then they go back to their HS Coaches as the same player they were the year before but expecting different results. Now kids should make more time for their own skill work as well but some of these programs require 4-8 hours a week at their “practices” plus travel and games every weekend…. Have you seen some of these AAU practices? Skill development is non existent in a lot of these. But isn’t the point to make the kids better? Just get better every summer and have a great high school season then worry about getting recruited. Some of these kids are on their JV teams expecting to get scholarship offers 🤦🏻‍♂️ There are bad trainers and bad coaches out there as well. I understand that. This is just my perspective and experience with the kids that have been in the gym with me over the last 7 years.

Focus on an athletic stance, swing it hard and keep the head still. Of course there will be things to fix in a swing but if it’s a young player and the swing is good but the power just isn’t where you want it to be, it will come!

DOESN’T MATTER HOW SKILLED YOU ARE… IF YOU DON’T IMPACT WINNING! This is a big conversation I have with High School Coaches and parents. There are a lot of players that work year round on skill development but they don’t learn and/or be held accountable to the sacrifice, focus, energy, effort it takes to be a winning player for their team.

Screen time is very harmful for young kids Screens are isolating and impair the development of their social skills & communication skills They are overstimulating which causes attention issues, behaviour problems & screen addiction They hurt a child's brain development leading to part of the brain being thinner Creating these problems at a young age will make it very difficult to ever fix these issues No child deserves this. Give them a screen-free childhood for healthier & happier life.

How can players make a big jump next year?!?! For High School and College players… they all put in work with their coaches. Most of them have a trainer they see to put in work. So what is the separator? 1. Are you working on the right things with your coaches that are going to help you be a better player working your team and overall 2. HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU PUT IN THE GYM ON YOUR OWN. This is a HUGE SEPARATOR because this time isn’t dependent on anyone and is unlimited in how much you do. Almost every player I’ve worked with that has made a BIG JUMP has put in extra time on their own. It’s not only because of the work, but it also helps players understand their game better and gives them a bigger investment in their development. As a player you should assess that part of your development today!

A big one here! We were lucky enough to check out Arkansas Baseball Player Development Pitching Lab, and talk to Matt Hobbs about how they utilize their resources to build their pitching staff. This is a great look at what it takes to build one of the best pitching staffs in the country!

Dwyane Wade on love from Miami Heat fans: Here it's different. I was born in Chicago but Miami is where I grew up. A lot of the fan base grew up with me. A lot of the kids were young and their parents forced them to watch me and make me their favorite player. I'm not the greatest player to play basketball but you can't tell me that or anyone in Miami that when I come here. I feel like the greatest player when I step in this arena, city and state. #HEATCulture

Multiple people are reporting that recess is being eliminating in their elementary schools Kids no longer go out on the swings and slides to play and socialize Instead “we have computer time where we watch YouTube videos and go on our phones” Multiple teachers and parents are consuming this is happening at their schools This is going to be devastating to their futures. Recess is meant for socializing and exercise which is very healthy for kids Here are so many benefits to recess kids won’t be getting - 60 minutes of movement per day helps support kids heart health, muscle and bone development, coordination, balance, and motor skills - Combats childhood obesity - Improves attention, memory, and concentration And the most important part Develops social skills. Kids practice sharing, negotiating, cooperating, resolving conflicts, and building friendships through free play These skills are much harder to learn in structured screen-based activities

People tell me their five-year-olds can't swim. Here's my one-year-old and three-year-old sending it off the 2M platform. Excuses sink-kids rise. It's hard to relate to other parents sometimes. Too many hold their kids back because of their own fears and limits. Kids are built for movement, curiosity, and courage. I don't train my kids just so they can be safe from drowning (the number one cause of preventable death between ages 0-5.) I train them so they can help someone else if it ever happens in front of them, so they can be strong, productive members of society and have self-confidence. Parents it's our job to raise strong, confident kids who aren't bound by fear or held back by limits of the safety patents

This is one of the most important concepts that we share with young golfers and their parents. Don’t prioritize competition over athletic and skill development. If all resources are dedicated to winning as a junior, we lower their ceiling for long-term success. Full 🎥:

I'm all in on everything to try to win the city open. I joke about it often, but I want to win. I think most of us have an event like that. So I'm partnering with The Golf Performance Center and their Player Development Index. I need a lot of help in a lot of areas. Fitness, Swing, Mental. And #GolfPDI covers it all There are no quick fixes, so I'm in this for the long haul. The trip out to their facility was amazing.

No Richard Schenck, The Heretic JFD PPP LQC TTE. 🙂 HeLP clinic would be complete without the Command Drill right? These naive people payed their hard earned money to watch their kids swing Propellers and Tilters and try and learn a swing that they think has made Aaron Judge a star. Just look at the 2nd kids swing and lack of balance and tell me he’s going to be successful with that. Remember Aaron Judge was a 3 sport star in High School and a 1st round draft pick before he met lil richie. The HeLP graveyard is filled with MLB & Minor League Baseball players who tried to swing like this and failed but if you look at lil dicks social media accounts all you see are videos of Aaron Judge and Kerry Carpenter.
