Baseball is a game. It is meant to be “played.” When the focus becomes something else (pleasing a parent), performance is reduced & the fun is gone. Encourage your son/daughter to support their teammates, listen to their coaches & have fun. Simply compete to help their team win.

And although the load can often guide the number of anticipated reps lifted, use AMRAP (as many reps as possible) and RIR (reps in reserve) more in your prescriptions
Thanks for reading. Finito!

Strength training is flexibility training!
New systematic review finds strength training just as effective as stretching for improving range of motion of all body parts! (NB: preprint) osf.io/preprints/metaarxiv/2…

The art of Tricking the Brain “TTB” is essential because the “VOD” Voice of Doubt is real! In a game where the ball’s in flight for about 5% of the time, even Major Leaguers experience the “VOD!”

Recap from Trosky Tuesday: (8/25)
5 most underrated drills:
1. Bare handed drills
2. Jump rope
3. Wall ball
4. Playing catch
5. Strike out game
“Master infielders don’t catch the ball they exchange and redirect the ball” = FLOW!
Great stuff !!

Something I will be linking with advice I currently discuss w/ patients regarding how "much" activity is ideal. Its one thing to help patients achieve their fnx goals but we should also be having discussions about the life long benefits of ex as it relates to mortality.

Elite Infielders “Prepare for Opportunities” 1 Pitch @ a Time, By Starting in Posture ✅ & By Staying in Posture ✅! When Challenging Plays presents themselves, they Make Plays!” The Crossover-Shuffle Drill is Excellent for developing Posture & Range!

Great hand - eye - focus drill by @CoachMongero ..thx for posting. My son learned how to juggle during the COVID lockdown and loves it...what a way to up the game and work on his skill set at the same time.
Eye-Hand rhythm drill. Once you can juggle 3 balls traditionally, up the difficulty by using a wall. Start high & lower trajectory as you improve. Then increase speed. Compete vs your personal best (or teammates) to see how many reps can be achieved in 20 seconds @troskybaseball
