HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃⚾️ Tonight I’m grateful for my family, this community, and the game that’s given me a platform to lead and coach. Thank you to the athletes who bought into the work, the parents who trusted the process, and the coaches who continue to mentor me along the way. Catchers aren’t built alone — they’re shaped by support, standards, and the people around them. I’m thankful for the village that keeps pushing me to grow in coaching, leadership, and player development. Stay thankful. Stay hungry. Keep building. “I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” - Psalms 9:1 #BergBackstops #GratitudeInBaseball #CatcherDevelopment #WhereLeadersAreBuilt #ThankfulAlways #CatcherStandard

SUNDAY STANDARD: BUILD Great catchers… great leaders… great people — none of it happens by accident. It’s built. Daily. Quietly. Intentionally. You build your habits. You build your character. You build your confidence. You build your faith. You build your standard. You build the relationships and trust that make you a leader behind the plate. “A house is built by wisdom, established by understanding, and filled with precious riches through knowledge.” — Proverbs 24:3–4 Whatever you’re wanting to become — start building it today. #BergBackstops #SundayStandard #BERGStandard #BuildItDaily #FaithInBaseball #CatcherLeadership

Feel Good Friday! Feeding the arm through some long toss working into compression throws. Throw it far on an arc, pull it down hard on a line. Great for improving arm strength, endurance, athleticism, feel and much more!

Everything starts before the pitch. Glove load forward lean puts you in a position to work under the ball and drive it clean back to the zone. Win the setup → win the strike. #BergBackstops #Baseball #Catching #Receiving

Truth👇👇 Being “elite” isn’t one size fits all. Defense-first catchers who receive, block, lead, and control a staff? That’s a D1 skill set.

The best catchers don’t just talk louder — they listen better. They feel the game, calm the chaos, and lead with presence. Leadership starts before the first pitch.

Catchers are built differently — and now there’s a place designed for them. Berg Backstops launches its first camp this week, November 9th, at Lipscomb University. We’ll train leadership, game IQ, and the skills that separate good from great. Every catcher leaves with a personalized report card and plan for growth. Spots are limited — sign up now through the link in bio. #BergBackstops #Leadership #CatchingDevelopment #BaseballCulture #Baseball #CatchingCamps #CatchersCamp #Catchers #Nashville

Leadership doesn’t show up when things are easy — it shows up when the game speeds up. It’s in the body language after a mistake. It’s in the tone you set between innings. It’s in how you talk to pitchers, umpires, and teammates when no one’s watching. At Berg Backstops, we train more than mechanics — we train presence. Because being a great catcher starts with being a great leader. #BergBackstops #WhereLeadersAreBuilt #CatchingDevelopment #BaseballLeadership
