“It’s the mental aspect of the game that people don’t really look at. Being able to believe that you are the best athlete on the field.”
- Mike Trout 🐐
As I said, the next Dodgers player to speak out was going to make a 🔥statement. Meet Blake Treinen, a man who puts God and country first before baseball. THIS is how it’s done. Bravo Blake. The players union
@MLBPA
needs to step up and protect the players from political agendas!
3 things you can control every day:
1. ATTITUDE
2. ENERGY
3. EFFORT
No matter what your current situation looks like, you can control these 3 things every day!
Playing time is EARNED, it’s not GIVEN.
You EARN it in the classroom..
You EARN it in practice..
You EARN it on campus..
You EARN it in games..
You EARN it by your actions..
HS & College Athletes: Complacency is the enemy of greatness. You have to EARN it every single day!
I don’t care what anyone thinks. I’m going to keep chasing my dream with tunnel vision by being the best version of myself every day. Thank you Lord for another chance 🙏🏻
Some of the best baseball coaches I have ever been around never played professional baseball
It’s not about how much you know, it’s all about how much you care and can relate to your players!
Relationships > Resumes
Next time your coach gets on you, hit the pause button and reflect on the deeper meaning..
They are usually getting on you because they care about you and want you to be successful
3 things I CAN control daily:
1. SELF-TALK - how am I talking to myself each day?
2. FOCUS - where my attention goes, my energy flows... what am I focusing on today?
3. BODY LANGUAGE - what message am I sending to others via my posture?
Go crush it today!
ADVICE TO COLLEGE KIDS STRUGGLING TO GET OFF TO A GOOD START:
Breathe...
It is going to be okay!
TRUST in your preparation..
BELIEVE in yourself..
and most importantly..
HAVE FUN!
When you get to the field, take 3-5 minutes to take in your surroundings.. you are BLESSED!
Imagine if our schools taught our children to pray and meditate...
- Decreased anxiety & mental illness
- Increased gratitude & happiness
- Enhanced self love and peace
Let’s be honest... these 2 things have helped me personally way more than any math equation
It's easy to...
- Sleep in
- Complain
- Give little effort
- Fail to prepare
- Doubt yourself
- Go through the motions
- Make excuses
- Blame others
- Feel sorry for yourself
Nothing worth having in life is EASY...
BE DIFFERENT!
In the end..
HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?
I refuse to give in to what the news preaches...
- HATE
- DIVISION
- FEAR
- WORRY
If you turn off the news / social media and look around, you will find that MOST people are pretty incredible people...
7 phrases to eliminate from your vocabulary:
1. I can’t…
2. I should…
3. I’ll try…
4. I’ve got a problem…
5. I have to…
6. But…
7. Don’t…
Words are powerful.
RECRUITS: Go where you are wanted!
The shiny objects look good on the outside and social media, but at the end of the day it’s YOUR career.
Go where you are valued!
Not everyone is going to support you on your way to your dreams...
Some of your closest friends will fall off the table...
It will get lonely..
Even your alma mater may ghost you...
But guess what?
IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING THEN YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
What if every game started like this?
What if every work day started like this?
What if every morning started like this?
The power of prayer is real! 🙏🏻
I absolutely love coaching! I remember making every excuse possible to not do it..
“No time”
“No money”
“Too busy”
But I knew something was missing. I love speaking, mentoring, and guiding the next generation. But building a program from ground floor has been so much fun!
If you are struggling or know anyone who is struggling dealing with the journey of life, please come to me.. I WANT to help you! Stay strong and keep your faith!

5 things preparation does for you:
👉🏻 Eliminates self doubt
👉🏻 Produces confidence & clarity
👉🏻 Promotes a sense of belief
👉🏻 Creates positive habits
👉🏻 Maximizes chances of success
Prepare like a champion!
According to Duke University research, approximately 40% of your daily actions aren't due to decision making, but habits.
Now, imagine if you could find a way to have that 40% of habits working FOR you, not against you!
Start small. Stay accountable. Stay consistent!
Saying a prayer for every athlete, coach, teacher, volunteer, umpire, employee, individual who is impacted by this situation...
Being a former 4 year college athlete, I can’t even imagine having my brothers stripped away from me...
I am a phone call away if you need it❤️
3 Traits of Champions…
1. CONSISTENCY
2. PREPARATION
3. RESILIENCY
It’s not always going to go your way.
It’s about overcoming obstacles & remaining consistent through adversity that makes a champion!
LEADERSHIP is all about SERVICE..
People are naturally attracted to people who:
- Set a positive example for others
- Carry themselves like champions
- Work hard no matter who is watching
- NEVER give up on their dream
- Lead by serving others
Live a life full of service!
Negative thinking: works 100% of the time against us
Positive thinking: sometimes works, but hard to do when life comes at you
Neutral thinking: allows us to be more present and focused on what we can control in the moment
Every NO..
Every ignored email / call..
Every challenge & obstacle..
Every 18hr day..
Every ounce of self-doubt..
THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO! Man I am beyond blessed 🙏🏻
#GodisGOOD
MENTAL TOUGHNESS... 🧠
I help athletes & programs across the world develop this yet I am still myself in the process of learning and developing this skill...
Every day is a new challenge.. an opportunity...
What are your thoughts on mental toughness? 🌎
