Despite more corrective exercises watch the injuries continue to mount. Must not be doing too much correcting. What happened to sound basic training in preparation for demands of the game? It is probably too simple, not exotic and sexy enough and God forbid it involves real work.

Youth sports & schools may have done away with winners & losers - but life has not. Life’s not fair - get used to it. #TuesdayMotivation

Funny thing about getting older... Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to see through people’s bullshit gets stronger.

Nothing wrong with switching back-n-forth between some games and Moneyball. “How can you not be romantic about baseball.”
Confidence is silent, insecurities are loud.

Strength is an important foundation for several athletic qualities, but you really only need to train it enough to get to the point that you can prioritize those other qualities. You won’t use a 600lb squat or 405lb bench much in daily life or any sport other than powerlifting.

Tell me again why players can’t high 5 the 3rd base coach after a dinger, but is greeted by all kinds of congratulatory high 5s in the dugout. Is the dugout some sort of covid free zone?
I think one of the biggest problems in this industry is strength coaches acting like physical therapists

What’s the reason to avoid high-5ing or fist bumping the 3rd base coach after a HR only to be greeted by a dugout full of high 5’s.
If you decide upon the inclusion of an exercise within your SC program, that’s ok. Should you decide upon its exclusion, that’s ok too. Either way, it’s your program. Many ways to build an athlete.

Great talk @Ryan_Faer. Been long overdue. Always appreciate talking shop with you.

Dear parents- if it’s ok for a professional baseball athlete to carry his own gear I’m pretty sure it would be ok for your little-one to carry his own. Just saying. #CarryYourOwnGear
Interesting anecdotal observation from two separate prominent baseball orthopedic surgeons this weekend at ASMI: they've both seen challenging, chronic rehab cases resolve when players quit tobacco products. Heavily overlooked component of the rehab process.

Yes it is! The effects of nicotine on tendon to bone healing on rotator cuff repairs have been known for awhile.

It’s so embarrassing to watch a parent outwardly show their frustration when their son Ks, commits an E, etc. Your son feels ur negative energy. Just stop.

Small Things. All Things.
This should be mandatory viewing for every young athlete.
