Spent this past weekend at Manhattan Baseball evaluating and helping develop player plans for every pitcher! Included in the eval was also a mobility and range of motion assessment. When creating a development plan, it’s important to have clear objectives and the “why” behind it. Ultimately, programs should be... striving to improve on field performance, not just to get good at whatever the “thing” is. Goals for each player are going to be broken down into 4 main buckets: • Mechanical • Pitch Development (movement and velocity) • Pitch Execution (command) • CRG and mental side Every player will have: • Throwing plan with drill package specific to them • Bullpen plans focusing on their needs and goals • Arm care routine • Mobility program tailored towards areas needed to improve (primarily focused on spine, hips, and shoulders) • Strength program Head coach, Steven Rosen and pitching coach Will Hesslink are building something very special in NY. They want to get the most out of every single player and are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Excited to see what this year has in store for the Jaspers!show more

Development is a calculated plan! And I LOVE the off season training. Here is 2023 2nd RD Pick Blake Wolters. To start~ Knowing where they are, what their timeline is (MILB’ers/HS/College) and what their goals are, is huge and necessary to begin. Without Divulging into everything we did, here is a bit about it as you physically see the change. What Blake needed 2.5 years ago was a plan, and a direction to attack his plan, and he did a tremendous job. What he needed was a strong front side, General Strength and a throwing Program, all of which was brand new to him. What to notice, you have a young pitcher who fills up the zone with mechanics that absolutely kill body awareness and Repeatable movements. That’s how you can tell the Immediate changes will cause immediate results velocity wise, and mentally is easier to focus on the process when the results improve. General strength was a breeze to Program. ANY Good throwing program Requires a well planned, thought out, and executed Strength program to work side by side. Every lift was based around Throwing/ Pitching all year. The volume and intensity of lifts and throwing consistently changes in order to promote the most growth possible, these are calculated changes. The Throwing Program is something the players have to perform, but not only perform but believe in. If you don’t believe in something you will not grow. (Using Pulse is a tremendous way to teach and create a feel for the body). Volume and intensity is the only thing that I like to really control. For players, learning a routine is key, especially applicable Plyo ball/ Med ball Routines are huge. Throwing programs are essentially the tip of a triangle, and are not working to its best ability if working alone. Throwing programs are 12 months long, they are not strictly for the off season. Now, as a Professional his training has varied tremendously as the development of the change up and shape of the fastball have taken a considerable amount of priority. This is where trackman and edger take serious precedence, to master the already elite craft. Working on creating an Outlier Pitch/Arsenal 2.5 years ago would have been a waste of time, because it was 81-84. Now, it will help increase the ability to perform through the Org. Every timeline is different, every situation is different, every Player’s routine is different, and every player is coached differently. Blake worked harder than anyone I’ve seen, and TRUE and CALCULATED hard work will show results “How can we attack the ZONE with our best stuff” “ Did I check every box today” Below, you will see corrective’s using the above methods.

Darko Rajaković discusses his growth plan for this offseason and trying to improve his own mental performance. “I have a mental performance coach that I am working with in Brian Cain, who’s helping me a lot. He’s helping myself individually, but also in preparation for what kind of leader I need to be for the team.” You can’t ask your players to have an offseason development plan while failing to create one for yourself. Player development and coach development are connected. If you want your players to keep growing, adapting, and improving, then they need to see you doing the same. Better leaders create better environments and better environments help players become better versions of themselves. Much respect to Darko for modeling the standard and shoutout to Brian Cain for the impact he continues to have across the mental performance space. 📹: Toronto Raptors

Put a footballer in an activity with moderate to low emotional stress and they will execute actions with positive intent (approach behaviour) Now put them on the pitch in a game perceived to be important…behavioural inhibition can kick in This is one reason why session design and coach behaviour are prime mediators of player mental skills And it’s why coaches need a psychological framework as a template to help player and team mindset Attention Intensity Intent “In the most important games, our players compete in their High Performance Mindset…with attention, intensity, intent. I know this because every player has their own unique mental framework and our team is committed to High Performance Mindset as a collective… …I know this because we’ve trained High Performance Mindset in every activity in every session every day…through our designs and through our instructions” Every activity Every session Every day

🚨🗣️ Fabrizio Romano on Benjamin Šeśko: "The player will take some days to decide. Benjamin Sesko will not decide today or tomorrow, Thursday. He will take some days to meet with his family, his agent and those close to him before making the best decision possible for his future. I keep telling you, since last week, Newcastle are prepared to pay whatever it takes to RB Leipzig and Benjamin Sesko. Contract terms, salary, commission, transfer fee - whatever it takes. Newcastle are ready to go at any moment, but it’s up to the player and what he wants to do. Manchester United have been in contact with Sesko’s camp since the end of last week and are now in contact with Leipzig. United spoke to both of them. Christopher Vivell is the name to remember, he’s a director at United and used to work at the Red Bull group. Vivell has a very good relationship with the RB group and knows Sesko very well. Christopher Vivell is actively helping and working on this deal. United are in contact with Leipzig. Manchester United are also showing Leipzig the opportunity of including a player in the deal for Sesko, but we’d have to see if that player would be open to going to Leipzig as the club has missed out on European football, so it won’t be easy to include the player in this deal. But this shows are United are really trying to do business for Sesko. Benjamin Sesko can leave and Manchester United are trying to understand how they can really make the deal happen. Manchester United are trying to find a solution. They spoke to Leipzig two days ago and Christopher Vivell is working on this story, but also the opportunity to include a player. For example, one of the names, a dream target for RB Leipzig, is Rasmus Hojlund. But let me say, from the players side, at the moment, he wants to stay at Manchester United and is not entertaining any negotiations with other clubs at this stage. This is showing how United and Leipzig are talking about possible solutions for the Sesko deal." #MUFC

Nick Saban - Hiring Coaches & Program Culture/Standards Hiring Coaches - Character - Communication - Knowledge - Developing Relationships Program Culture/Standards - "You have to define the culture/standards for the players. So they know exactly what you expect from them." - "When they don't do those things, no matter what they are, you have to confront them. You have to show them that these behaviors that you're defining for them are actually going to help them accomplish the goals that they have." - "I think it's very important that you sit down players and know what their goals are. Everyone needs to have goals and a vision for what they want to do. They have to understand what they have to do to do it and they have to be willing to do those things.

Hall of Fame San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich on why winning is not really about plays. It is about PEOPLE: Relationships are the foundation of every winning culture. 🧱 Because a player who feels truly seen, known and valued will go further than one who simply feels coached. 📡 And you have to be yourself because players can sense what is real and what is fake. You cannot build a genuine relationship with someone unless they see the real you and believe that the real you genuinely cares about them. The temptation for every coach is to tell players what they want to hear so they will like you, rather than telling them what they need to hear because you are afraid they might not. The best coaches are willing to risk being disliked in the moment to help a player become better in the future. They do not lead for approval. They lead from a place of deep care. ❤️ They are willing to put their reputation at risk, have uncomfortable conversations and reject the label of a “players’ coach” if that is what it takes to get the best out of the people they are responsible for leading. Sports may be a competitive entertainment business, but every business will always come down to the people you are building with. Worry less about the play you are running and more about your true purpose as a leader: 🫗 Pouring into the people entrusted to you.

COACHING HARD A lot of comments on recent videos asked what it means to coach players hard. I think the initial reaction to that we think of a Coach screaming and yelling. I don’t really consider that ‘Coaching Hard’. Coaching hard to me means you are fully invested in the player, want them to succeed, have had conversations with them about it, laid out the standards and expectations for them, then YOU HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO THAT. The coaching hard part takes different shapes and forms, it’s not always yelling… but the accountability and care has to be strict, that’s what makes it seem hard to the player

ARE 1 ON 0 WORKOUTS THE BEST WAY TO TRAIN? I moved away from 1 on 0 workouts a long time ago. They are great if the player has a specific technical need. It allows you to slow down and dive deep with the player. Other than that… multi player workouts are exponentially more productive and beneficial for the players. This allows them to still work on technical skill, but it allows you to put them in an environment where they have to read multiple players on the court- exactly how the game will be. Add in the fact that it forces players to compete and it’s a no brainer!

Playing time is the ultimate motivator Every program has their non negotiables, and within the program each player has a certain role that they need to crush. A lot of players and parents struggle with the idea that you don’t get unlimited mistakes and chances. At some point, if you aren’t producing, you won’t be able to play. This will happen to 95% of players.. whether it’s for a couple possessions, for a couple games, or for a season. The real tell is the players ability to learn from it and grow!

Mark Daigneault shares the coaching philosophy that drives the Oklahoma City Thunder. "Every player is different. And every player is a person first. I've always relied on the instincts of connecting with the person first " Then he shared what professional basketball taught him: "All of these players have a reason to admire them and not just respect them. That's a baseline for any player." "If a player's made it this far, there's a reason to admire them." It means caring about the person. "Expressing that admiration, accepting them for who they are, and then trying to help them be the best they can be. Chase down the vision they have for who they are as a player." "But also plug that into the larger structure of a team in an environment that elevates everybody." The best coaches don't just manage players. They see the person behind the jersey and the team. "It starts with every person. Every person's different - connecting to that and tapping into that." Great coaches care about the person and their future The heart of coaching is a relationships business not a sports business (🎥 OKC Thunder)

When a coach has health complications they are given grace by the media and the public because they are understanding of what they are fighting through. Deion Sanders he’s not been afforded that same empathy at Colorado this year. Despite being diagnosed with cancer, having his bladder removed and having a procedure in the middle of the season to alleviate blood clots, the tear downs of the man and his program have been relentless. The X’s and the O’s have to improve, but we can’t forget the human element of what has happened in Deion Sanders life this year. Coach Prime’s story was never meant to be perfect. It was meant to be powerful. And powerful it has been. With his Son’s not playing at Colorado, Coach Prime could have easily said, I’m done. I’ve had some health issues, Shedeur is in a bad situation in Cleveland, Shilo isn’t on a NFL roster and this just isn’t worth it anymore. But he didn’t because he made a commitment to every kid in his program and their parents that he was dedicated to building them into a complete man on and off the field. So at 3-6. Colorado, now is not the time to give up on Coach Prime. Now is the time to stand tall with him. Full episode here #RG3 #OuttaPocket #GoBuffs #CoachPrime

Introducing the “Get” action in basketball to lacrosse! The “Get” is a 2man action where a player passes the ball to another player and sprints to go “Get” it back on a handoff. This action has similar concepts and reads to pick and roll, but the picker is actually the ball handler! In lacrosse, we have been experimenting with Gets because it creates so many interesting situations and reads for the players. The way we teach it in small sided games is to have one offensive player declare “I’m shut” and the defense has to face-guard him. From there we pick for the shut off player trying to spring them free for the Get. The ball handler has to engage and control their defender, anticipating the shut player trying to get open. The shut player can backdoor if being overplayed towards the get (rejecting the get), receive a flip, or continue curling around the ball getting open for a late pass. The ball handler can feed the reject, flip the ball, or fake the flip to attack the goal or make a late pass to the shut payer curling to the goal. I’ve seen examples of this run in men’s and women’s DI lacrosse at Ohio State and Northwestern, respectively and I’ve run this myself when I was coaching HS girls lacrosse. You will also see on this reel a sick application for Gets vs. a common big-little invert coverage where the short stick doesn’t go behind with his man and plays “Safety” in front of the net. Gets are fun for the players, are incredible for teaching your players 2man game on and off ball, dealing with double teams, and creativity with passing, and can be used to score goals. I hope you enjoy it! Can you think of other applications for Gets?

The 10-15 seconds in between pitches are the most important time of a baseball game. All ballplayers should be looking to win this time. The best way to do that is having a set pre-pitch routine that they execute every pitch. A pre-pitch routine is simply what players do on a consistent basis in-between pitches. Most importantly, it’s how they breathe, focus, visualize, and talk to themselves. This is what helps them take control, keep it simple, and compete with all they’ve got ONE pitch at a time.

A manager trying to rouse his players… Cortical arousal…a call for mental activation and physical intensity… Mikel Arteta using words, sentences, phrases enveloped in tone, volume, rhythm, pause…trying to tap into memory, striving to evoke pain and pleasure, cautioning threat while willing reward. Motivation - to move towards and to move away from. Mental activation… The challenge for any coach is to recognise the cause of performance lapse. Do my players need to rise in intensity or do I need to cool the nervous system? Might a rise be true for one and a drop be true for another? Should this come from me or should this come from my players? Questions…questions! For me…pre-planned: -individual mental frameworks -a team mental framework Then time for: -players to group together to speak -the coach to assert the tactical plan enveloped in those mental frameworks -mini individual conversations An all-in feel…an integrated approach. Cortical arousal, narrative, and meaning in competitive sport are strange things. One player is best served in a state of physical dominance while another is best suited to a playful state akin to playing mate’s football. Player one: dominant, relentless, strong Player two: playful, focused, free No hard, fast rules other than this - each and every player has their ideal mind and body state that helps them to anticipate, make decisions, co-ordinate their body, and execute at an appropriate physical intensity. And that state must be found and maintained in each and every game. I love Mikel Arteta’s passion. I love his energy and his vibrancy. I also love the complexity of the human. With 11, 13, 15, 18 plauers all gawping at you, hanging on every word you say…you never quite know whether the content or the delivery is suited to everyone in the room… …you never quite know… And that’s what makes sports coaching so much fun and so intriguing. That no matter who you are and no matter what level you coach at…coaching is a decision-making process where even the very best and even the very famous are making a best guess most of the time. A best guess most of the time…

WOW. Marcelo Bielsa is 70 years of age, and his parting message to Uruguay carries a lesson every coach should sit with. No group is the same. No individual is the same. Nobody. Bielsa admits he has never tried to be the “friendly” coach. He values order, discipline, seriousness, obsession. That has made him one of the most respected minds in football. But even Bielsa seems to accept something powerful here: That approach does not work for every player. It does not work in every environment. And knowledge alone is never enough. As a coach, you have to find a way to connect. Quote us on this: “You can have all the knowledge in the world, but it is absolutely useless if the people playing don’t like you. Player management and people management might not be on coaching courses, but don’t be kidded by associations. It is the most important quality a coach can have.” Football is about tactics, detail, preparation and standards. But above all, it is about people. So many coaches out there fail to grasp this, they think they can shout their way to development or success, and this day and age you simply can't.

So many coaches out there fail to grasp this, they think they can shout their way to development or success, and this day and age you simply can't.

Urban Meyer shares the 5 traits he used to identify elite recruits. These are qualities every great player, coach, and businessperson has in common. "The single most common characteristic of every great player, every great coach, every great businessperson I've ever been around - they just detest losing. Losing makes them ill." Everyone loves to win, but do you compete and hate to lose? "Mental and physical toughness. I don't care if you're running a shoe company or whatever. You just gotta be tough." Toughness requires a willingness to endure and go beyond your current limits. "You gotta lead yourself, then lead others - in that order. You can't lead others before you lead yourself." Leadership is action-based. It’s dependent on what you do, not your title. "Football is a complicated game. The world's complicated." It's not just about talent - you have to be knowledgeable and hungry to learn more in your field. "65 to 75% of the plays Mahomes makes are the broken plays. He adapts." Successful people are consistently evolving. They are resilient and have the ability to adjust, improve, and constantly grow. The 5 traits: 1. Competitor 2. Toughness 3. Leadership 4. Intelligence 5. Adaptability Meyer got so committed to these 5 qualities that every coach had to sign their name on the line - committing to them for who they recruited. Great teams aren't luck. They're built by defining the standard and holding the line. (🎥 Glue Guys)

The best advice on how to be successful I’ve heard: On Nick Saban’s radio show, a young athlete asked him a bold question. What advice would the Alabama football coach give him – a basketball player – to improve in his sport? Saban’s response is gold: “I think for any athlete, it's the same thing. What's your goal? What's your aspiration? What do you want to accomplish? That's the first thing. “Second thing is to define what it takes to do it. What does it entail for you to be the kind of basketball player that you want to be? “Then you got to make the decision. Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to go work every day and do the things you need to do and take 500 shots a day like Kobe Bryant did so that you can be the kind of player that you want to be? “And then do you have enough discipline to make yourself do it every day? Whether you feel like it or not. “You got to choose to get up. You got to choose to study. You got to choose to go make the shots. You got to choose to work out. People that can do that, they can reach their full potential. “If you choose to make that kind of commitment to it, you can do the same thing, but it's not going to just come to you. It's not going to come easy. “And you're going to have to overcome a lot of adversity to be able to persevere and sustain it to get where you want to go.” – It’s a beautiful response for sports, business and life. Replace the young basketball player with yourself – investor, business owner, manager, teacher, whatever – and the same framework applies. Some key takeaways: 1. Everything begins with a vision. What do you want to achieve? 2. Vision alone isn’t enough. You need a detailed plan of how to achieve it. 3. Commitment separates those who dream from those who do. Most people aren’t willing to do what it takes. 4. Daily execution is the hardest (and most valuable) part. 5. Feelings are irrelevant. You can do what needs to be done despite how you feel. 6. One day of effort is overrated. Daily effort is underrated. 7. Improvement is a lifelong process. Embrace it, cherish it, commit to it. ||| Hope this is helpful.

NEW: 2027 5⭐️ C Darius Wabbington has cut his list of schools down to 6, Arizona. Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, and Texas he announced. He has scheduled official visits to Arizona and Louisville, although he plans to visit all 6 programs before making a decision early in his senior year: "Their pitch, their style of play, and the relationships that have been created with these coaches are the main things that have gone into it," Wabbington said. "I'm big on relationships and all of the schools in my top six have done a good job of creating relationships. I am also looking to see if I see myself playing for these schools and I feel that I do." On Kentucky: "Mark Pope, Cody Fueger, and Mo Williams have all reached out and expressed how they are going to play me. I see what they want to do for me. I could see for myself that it is what I would want to do at the next level. They are really interesting." "I will prioritize the relationships, Wabbington said of his deciding factors. "That is the real big part that is really important to me. The style of play and the school is also really important to me. I want to fit the program and play in an atmosphere where they have a lot of people at the games and the fans are really supportive." Kentucky is in a VERY strong spot going down the stretch of Darius’ recruitment, Kentucky staff has made him the top priority at C in this 2027’ Class. Id expect his Kentucky visit to be finalized soon. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

Billy Chapel (Kevin Costner) was on to something with his ‘Clear the Mechanism’ routine! Watch as he: - Looks at a focal point to get back to the present-moment - Uses his breath to lock in and slow everything down - Takes control of his self-talk to direct his thoughts I firmly believe that the 10-15 seconds in-between every pitch are more important than the pitch itself. This time needs to be dominated by ballplayers. A great way to do that is for players to have a set pre-pitch routine that leads to them taking control of their thoughts, their breath, their self-talk, and their focus. This will help them regulate their emotions, reset, gain self-control, block out distractions, and maintain composure during high-pressure situations. Competition can be chaotic and unpredictable. So, the key is for players to have a system in place to deal with adversity not IF, but WHEN it comes their way so that they aren’t surprised by it.
