My career as a DI catcher was derailed by the yips- it was devastating at the time, but effected my coaching career positively… Being able to help someone through performance anxiety is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. @GessnerJosh - thx for sharing ✊🏼

Read this in 2010- When I first got in the game in 2012, one of the bosses was still preaching to me that you could tell if a guy would be a big leaguer by his face. Imagine… making big $ decisions using objective info 🤔 @SloanSportsConf thx 4 sharing podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ssa…

Sports teams are businesses, fans are the customers, customer service is everything. Pausing the game to allow customers to enjoy the game more is a good thing.

"I don't know a manager in the world who is fair." Fair does not mean equal - what is fair is relative to the person. A lazy teammate does not get the same treatment as a workhorse - from anyone. Treating them the same creates a problem.

Deeper issue: S&C claiming to prevent injuries when many athletes are drinking, eating gummy worms for breakfast & gaming until 3am. S&C coaches should claim to get players stronger, faster & in better shape. Injuries are wildly complicated. Getting an 18yo stronger is not.
Unimaginable. This gives me chills. What an incredible program that has built and sustained an elite culture for decades.

I would have thought this topic would have been cleared up by now, but “blocked”, “serial” and “random” practice are all extremely valuable when applied appropriately. Too many believe that only one of these improves motor skill acquisition. It’s simply more complex than that.

In 2016, I created a Life Skills course for our baseball team called GrowthU. Every Friday at 10am we would meet for 1 hr. This weekend I ran into a former player that still had his notebook. He said he carried it with him for the last 7 years. 🤯 Boom Baby! 👊🏼 @JimmyDobrash
ABCA was great. Event organizers crush it year over year. If you don’t go to many other conferences in other fields you can’t really appreciate how elite the @ABCA1945 organization is. Thanks to all who visited the Driveline booth. Your stories inspire us for the year to come!

Great analysis here from Lance. My hope is that this granular minor league data gets opened up over time. It's really valuable and would be the kickstart the public sphere needs to generate newer, fresher content, which is good for the game and for young writers/analysts.

This is an OUTSTANDING post about the YIPS. But more importantly, about patient coaching & trustful learning…Thanks @GessnerJosh for sharing & @_rachelbalkovec for being awesome!!
@FlatgroundApp @FlatgroundBats @_rachelbalkovec Rachel and I spent 3 months together, and it would be impossible to compile all my learnings into 1 thread. However I will go through the major components of what we worked on: 1) Anxiety and Fear Management 2) Identity 3) "Mental Injury" Throwing Progression
Props to @GessnerJosh for sharing his story and evolving as a player and person. And finding growth via a mentorship with @_rachelbalkovec is no surprise- she attacks everything she does with strength, patience, and deliberate action. We make your own path, our story is ours

Putila is such a dog. Dude worked his ass off when we were at the bottom of the totem pole in Houston. Ran the rehab vans, got coffee, crushed spreadsheets, did it all. Never complained. Worked his way up the ladder. Not that common in baseball these days. Awesome to see.
Two months ago, @extrabaggs wrote this about the Giants pursuit of Jung Hoo Lee. And today, both Lee and Scott Boras mentioned -- unprompted -- how meaningful it was that Pete Putila attended his ceremonial at-bat

How you going to spend ZERO training time working on good consistent ball flight to your pull side? Then expect to pull the ball with authority when you get a good pitch? 🤔 👏 Specific practice to create the results you want.
Or don’t and continue to filet balls to the opposite field and get torched by velocity when you finally get to a level where you can no longer “out athlete” your competition. It’s your career, do whatever you want. Just know that you’re leaving a hell of a lot on the table

Pulling the baseball is a trainable skill It’s no different than learning to hit the ball low oppo or line drives to the back of the cage. There’s a time and place to practice all of it, but it’s very obvious what batted ball types are the most productive Train accordingly

Losing is not fun. But it’s also a reminder of what we’re striving for. Grateful for Skip, his staff, & our players for fighting thru adversity & getting to the postseason. Job’s not done — at 2:30 am, we were already talking about how we can be better for 2024. Pa’lante @Marlins
Expectation is a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future. Also a belief that someone will achieve something. What are your true Expectations? Do u Believe? Have u put in the work to achieve something? Do u really have Hope that u will get what u want…
Had a chat with my mentor @bp22 He said it best, "My only skillset is that I move faster and make more mistakes than anyone. By the time they've "thought" about it I've already made 5 mistakes and learned 5 new lessons." The people at the top always surprise me with speed.
