Great read!! Baseball is more than physical. It is the mental grind. Just when you feel you are physically locked in; teams pitch you different, hit you differently, and play you at another level. It is the mental confidence and positive self talk that will carry you through. Fail forward. Don't waste the hard days, use them for an opportunity to learn from failure. Growth mindset.

5. Build independence from external validation - Seek validation from within, not from the outside world. This becomes easier when you have a clear vision of who you are and your true values. Your self-worth shouldn't be tied to others' opinions. True confidence comes from your internal sense of achievement and self-appreciation. Stand firm in your values and beliefs because they create the pillar of self-assurance.

Train with purpose 🔥⚾️

Watching Big Ten Basketball and getting work in with the 13u velocity group. 2 weeks to game ready!!

Have a plan and stop worrying about the Rankings and metrics. Everyone develops at different times. Get a nutrition plan. A velocity and throwing plan to increase strength while having a healthy arm. Get a position and hitting instructor to track progress and put plans in place to succeed. Track progress. Gain confidence. Believe in what you do now and trust the process.

Parents, help protect your children and stop worrying your behind. Then trying to catch up at hyper speed. Anything great is a journey. Let your child enjoy their journey, not what a showcase or metric says you should be at.

I think we are getting to a tipping point where Metrics, Showcases, and PBR/PG events are ruining athletes. I have seen more injuries coming out of these events. Kids are being ranked on 2 or 3 throws, pitches, and hits. Getting injured trying to beat the next metric.

Metrics over actual in game play is a huge problem. Keep feeding the Showcases, athletes getting injured, and in game play becoming less and less important. Don't have to look much further then how they rank the top state athletes. Showcase > Games.

Great Story, definitely worth the read!!

One of the hardest lessons I learned after my baseball career ended:

I had tied too much of my identity to the game.

When I played, everything revolved around baseball.

If I had a great game, life felt great.
If I struggled, it felt like everything was wrong.

My emotions followed the same rollercoaster as the game.

And the truth is, when my emotions were on that rollercoaster, it did not just affect me.

It affected the people I loved the most, because they were the ones who had to deal with it.

And when baseball ended, I realized something that caught me completely off guard:

I did not know where to find my sense of purpose.

That is how powerful this game can be.

It pulls you in so deeply that it’s easy to start believing baseball is who you are, not just something you do.

Today when I talk with high school and college players, this is one of the main things I see.

So many of them have tied their identity completely to the game.

One thing I always make sure they hear from me is simple:

I am proud of you.

And I say that after a great game or a tough one.

Because that pride has nothing to do with performance on the field.

It has everything to do with the person they are becoming.

Sometimes to find perspective, we need to take a step back and look at how far we have come.

It is easy to get stuck in the present and focus only on what needs to happen next to advance.

But when we pause and reflect on the work, growth, and experiences that brought us here, it reminds us that our worth is not tied to one moment, one game, or one season.

The truth is, the game eventually ends for all of us.

What matters most has to be bigger than baseball.

Faith.
Family.
Friendships.

Those are the things that carry you long after the final out.

When your identity is rooted there, baseball becomes what it was always meant to be:

A game to love.
A place to compete.
A platform to grow.

Not the definition of your worth.
