The best hitting coaches I've ever met? Do things in the cage that would get frowned upon on socials. But it works. Because they aren't afraid of weird. Out of the box ideas. Different theories. Stuff that doesn't look pretty on camera. It's about breakthroughs. Not likes. Getting it right. Not being right!!!! — I've been training hitters 8 years. I'm 30. D1 job at 22. Coaching guys my own age. Coached for the Mets after at age 24. Private coaching and consulting ever since. That kind of work forces you to train a lot of different types of hitters. So trust me on this.. Don't close yourself off to a theory just because it's 'weird.' If it causes a breakthrough? So be it. Results in game > Everything

Last week I was doing an exit outbrief on a young client 135 lb, 16-year-old righty who’s been working hard to bump his velocity Like everyone in our program, he’d sat through the full breakdown on nutrition Meal planning, calorie tracking, all of it I reminded him (and his mom) that, in our research, the biggest influencer of velocity isn’t mechanics, or mindset, or magic drills It’s body weight Up to around 180 lbs His shoulders dropped Mom gave him the “told you so” look She said, “I try to get him to eat, but he’s just so picky, and he always says he's not hungry.” Here’s the thing: a big part of development is taking care of the easy stuff Showing up on time is easy Being prepared is easy Putting food in your mouth is easy Nobody cares how you feel They care how you play The hitters you’re facing? They’re glad you don’t feel like eating The kid taking the scholarship you want? He’s glad you don’t feel like eating Eating isn’t optional It’s part of training You don’t always feel like throwing But you throw You don’t always feel like lifting But you lift You don’t always feel like eating Eat anyway

Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

You’re not supposed to have it all together. Life isn’t a straight path—it’s chaos, pain, healing, and growth all mixed together. And that’s okay. You’re learning. You’re becoming. Stop holding yourself to a standard no one can reach. You’re allowed to be figuring it out. You’re allowed to feel lost sometimes. What matters is that you keep going. Not that it’s perfect—just that it’s real.

As a hitting coach, I watched players come back to the dugout after making an out. They'd look at me and ask, "What'd you see?" I'd go through the mechanical stuff - back side collapse, front side energy, head came off the ball. Man, it was wearing me out! Finally, I realized I needed to simplify. So the next time a player came back asking what I saw, I just asked him: "Did you get a good pitch to hit?" That usually stopped the conversation. Because if you don't "get a good pitch to hit," it's hard to get a hit. This works in our lives too. Whatever task I take on, I ask myself: Am I putting myself in position to succeed? Did I eliminate distractions? Did I prepare? Did I practice? Am I ready to produce? In life, your "good pitch to hit" probably isn't the same as mine. That's the beauty of it all. I've swung at some bad pitches in my life... so have you. But one bad swing doesn't always end the at-bat. Hitting is a lot like life. It can be simple, but not easy.
