I know many dads who are great at using athletics to build stronger relationships and improve their childโ€™s skills. While maybe the majority tell me โ€œIโ€™m just dad, they donโ€™t listen to meโ€ Here is what Iโ€™ve noticed the successful ones do ๐Ÿงต

If you want to run a baseball facility I hope youโ€™re ready to create rules people donโ€™t follow (including adults) watch dads yell at 10yo, pick up a lot of water bottles, and be a storage unit for hoodies, gloves, shoes, you name it. Like you gotta love coaching THAT much.

Yeah.....weโ€™re really big on front toss. ๐Ÿ™„. Here we go with the assumption that because in youth players we build the engine first means we never work on consistency and donโ€™t believe in consistency. Swinging consistently SLOW, simply in the name of consistency isnโ€™t good either

@XenPenny Nah man, just swing as hard a you f'ing can.. being consistent doesn't matter.. No doubt nice numbers for a 13 yo, wonder how close he gets to those EV numbers in a game and not front toss?

3. They understand itโ€™s not their journey. A lot of parents say โ€œwe need to get him/herโ€ or โ€œI need him/her toโ€ โ€ฆ. Parents winning the relationship game donโ€™t see it as their journey too. They see themselves as simply a resource, the one resource their kids can always count on.

Be on time, with force. The rest are details about efficiency, ideal scenarios, and personal bias. This is one of those obvious tweets we take for granted and forget.

Some free resources on our site, but @EliteBaseballTV , @DrivelineBB plus, @clongbaseball LPD, among others are available too. Iโ€™d focus on the things you can control if limited to small spaces. Focus on movement, work you can do with a mirror, and body control in general. 1/2

FaceTiming my 2yo daughter and watching her act like her mom fires me up. Hope she grows up to be just like her. Gonna make for stubborn teenage years but itโ€™s worth it for how it turns out in the end.

14yo @Keenan_O99 , 2024 Grad from @sehsstormbb and @IllinoisIndians typically puts on a show in the cages and โ€œwowsโ€ our college and pro guys. With plenty more boxes left to check at the plate, a plus arm, and 80 grade work ethic and character he should be on your watch list.

A 7th grader just emailed me best advice for various things and my response was work hard. Secret sauce guys. Show up early, stay late, ask questions, be engaged, find mentors, struggle, lose, struggle, win, donโ€™t take yourself too seriously and stay fixated on the goal.

I just read a quote in a non-baseball book that I think is a great response to moving forward in the baseball profession... โ€œNothing gets done tomorrow. Everything gets done today.โ€ That will be always be a great starting point.

Gave one of my best analogies ever to an 11yo kid today. My best stuff stems from the little guys. Helping them understand simply all the complicated research weโ€™re doing. Cage time matters.

Theme of the day. You can be ineffective forcing players into moves that are aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, and you can be equally ineffective forcing players to be aesthetically pleasing on a graph, or in an app. โ€œIdealโ€ โ€œefficientโ€ and โ€œreally goodโ€ are different things

If you missed any of our Daily Zooms from a few weeks ago, here are all the recordings in one place. Typically the first 15 minutes is a some sort of presentation or Q&A with REALLY good speakers. Enjoy!

THREAD: Context is important to me but letโ€™s start with, Fast is NOT slow, and slow is NOT fast. But, people say that in baseball everyday, the analogy I think they are going for is the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise wins the race being smooth, controlled and consistent ๐Ÿ‘‡

The Twitter-ers trying to roast this young kid and then getting dunked on is so comical. Kid looks like a savage to me. Keep in mind 2021 makes him a sophomore... in HS... heโ€™s either 15 or 16yo throwing NINETY TWO! But whatever.... enjoy throwing strikes and preaching โ€œcontactโ€

I heard somebody say his teachers used to yell at him for holding the pencil โ€œincorrectlyโ€ ..... He communicates on paper well, itโ€™s very legible. But itโ€™s the โ€œwrong wayโ€ Apply this to both โ€œanecdotal basedโ€ hitting instruction AND โ€œdata basedโ€ hitting instruction.

๐Ÿงต In general, at the amateur level we teach too much detail and have unreasonable expectations of performance with an intent to give players a competitive advantage through knowledge. However it tends to create too much noise making it difficult to perform at a high level. โฌ‡๏ธ
