NLCS MVP Jake Bauers shares how letting go of results helped him find a different level of freedom as a competitor. "I think what changed for me this year was I stopped caring about results. I started caring about competing. I started caring about being in the moment and getting out of my own way." Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to performing at your best isn't a lack of preparation or ability. It's the pressure you place on yourself to produce a particular outcome. You become so concerned with what you want to happen that you lose touch with what the moment actually requires. Any performer can unlock a new level when they learn how to be fully invested in the competition without becoming imprisoned by the outcome. 🎥: Fox Sports

That my friends is a baseball decision made by a baseball coach !!! 🫡

Stop what you’re doing and watch this 11 pitch Jake Bauers AB. Even if you know how it ends it’s still a worthwhile watch. Incredible.

The game within the game. This is an awesome moment

Great weekend for this group!! See you in Indy!!

Are we helping kids… or teaching them to run from hard things? I see this all the time in schools. A student has a problem with a teacher, coach, classmate, or situation, and too often the first response is to remove the problem. Switch the class. Quit the team. Avoid the conversation. Have the parent step in and fix it. I understand the instinct. We don’t want to see our kids struggle. But Dr. Becky Kennedy said something powerful: “The more you optimize for happiness in childhood, the more you actually wire for anxiety in adulthood.” Kids need to learn that disappointment is survivable. Conflict is survivable. Failure is survivable. Being uncomfortable is survivable. Sometimes the best thing we can do for kids isn’t remove the hard thing. It’s help them learn how to walk through it.

I've coached over 30 Olympic gold medals. I've worked with some of the greatest athletes in history. Here are the lessons I wish more people understood:🧵

I am SO excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and softball career at UVA Wise!! Thank you @CoachTSeg , Coach Kelly, and @UVAWiseSB for making my dream come true! I want to start off by thanking my parents for all the support and sacrifices you have made for me to pursue my dream. I want to thank my siblings for always being there to practice with me, even though I know you didn’t always want to. Most importantly, I want to give all the glory to God because he is the true reason all of these blessings are in my life! A huge thank you to all my current and former coaches and teammates! You have all taught me so much about not only softball, but also life. You are all a huge part of the reason I am the player I am today. I also want to give a special shoutout to my dad for being by my side every step of the way! I am so excited for this next chapter and so grateful for everyone who has helped me get here. Go Cavs!! ❤️🖤 @T2Robeson @Turnin2Pezz @Turnin2Goleski @T2HazenGoleski @ExtraInningSB @LineDsoftball @SoftbalAmerica @WTAMUSoftball @Prepsoftball @TopPreps @Tagupsoftball @YathletesF @SBRRetweets @SoftballHome @softballamerica @ConnectSports_ @CollegeBDJocks

This is very Interesting to me… Watch the ball flight in this video. The 22 year old is Tied leading the American League with 41 Homeruns. Yet only 1 of his hardest 20 hit balls that lead the Rays is a homerun. 15 are hits. There is a lot of great things to take out of this and what Junior Caminero is doing at 22 years old in the big leagues 👀🧠🔑

Defense starts before the ball is ever hit. It’s vision. Awareness. Anticipation. Know the situation. Read the hitter. See the whole field. The more you see, the faster you can react. Great athletes don’t just react to the play. They’re already thinking one step ahead.
