Don't waste your time holding passive stretches that only providing temporary results. Swap them out for these instead!

Are you building the roof of a house before the foundation? That’s most baseball training. Hitting, pitching, defense = roof skills. Without balance, coordination, rotation, and deceleration, they fall apart in the game Build the base first. Movement before mechanics.

What if the goal wasn’t better drills… but better movers, better athletes? Shortstops are forced to develop the most complete movement skillset! That’s why every position benefits from training like one Athleticism comes first! This isn’t about SS It’s about how humans move

Talent doesn’t set the ceiling—intentional and deliberate practice does! Mindless reps won’t make you better Train with purpose, focus on details, and challenge yourself every session Small adjustments = big gains Practice doesn’t make perfect Perfect practice makes progress
The work matters. But how we do the work matters just as much. Intent. Standards. Daily habits. That’s the separator. Athlete: @briellebakker26 @vallesports_ K47 Discount code “coachsteinman” to save

Backspin vs bullet spin usually comes down to tiny changes in hand position at release. Coach @ashtobarsun breaks down high speed footage to show how: - Forearm rotation timing - Thumb getting off the ball - Index finger position can completely change spin profile and pitch shape.

Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time. Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak. The most successful adults start off as well-rounded kids.

#1 of our top 5 posts of 2025 - For those of you who don't have equipment at home, here are some hip flexor exercises you can do, just with bodyweight 💪 If you have tight hips, don't JUST stretch them, strengthen them through full range of motion as well!

I don’t do many clinics each year—but nothing beats working with growth-oriented coaches, parents, and players. One truth always shows up: Practice has to mirror the movement demands of the game. Better movement = Better Player @BaseballFlowsHQ baseballflows.com

I love the phrase embodied cognition. The research is clear. Desirable difficulties leads to improved performance. Place the body in an uncertain environment and let it adapt to its new stressors!!! It’s almost as if cleaner movers are also cleaner perceivers. 😳
