Just recorded a great episode with hitting coach @jscotthitting, who works 1-on-1 with college and pro hitters.

The coach is the Sherpa. The challenge is already set. Our role is to guide, support, prepare, and protect—physically and mentally. We journey together, we carry baggage, we show the way, but when it’s time to summit, we step back and let the climber have their moment #BPS 🧠⚾️

Fun chat with SJ, who finished the episode outside a Chipotle-campus empty, cafeteria closed, solving meal issues for players on spring break mid podcast. A great reminder of the unpredictable, but rewarding life of a college baseball coach.

Happy Monday coaches! ☕️
Kirk & MacPhail’s Situated Learning Model—be honest how many of us start coaching at 5 (movement execution)? If we do, are we truly teaching players to solve problems or just rehearsing solutions? technique only becomes skill when it’s contextualized 🧠

An easy way to integrate psychosocial skills into training.
Write mental skills on paper, have players pick one from a hat, give them 5 min to research its role in sports. Now after drills ask: How did your skill apply? How/why did you struggle? Reflection drives growth 🧠⚾️💪

What is competition really about? The Latin root competere means “to strive together.” So, are our competitors simply a tool to measure our own growth?
Can we reframe competition as a way to problem solve, develop, reflect and improve—not just to win?
