Former US Navy Admiral, William H. McRaven, conquers his day with this one small task in the morning

Please note we have changed our tryout date to December 2nd.

Passion = When every cell in your body wants and needs to do something. Clayton Kershaw exemplifies why he is amongst the best at his craft. You might like the idea of being a big leaguer, but are you willing to do what it takes? Skills are a gift while passion is in your DNA. There’s a reason we are seeing Clayton doing dry work and not Manny taking swings or GBs. Both great talents, however wired very differently. https://www.facebook.com/537850937/posts/10155475056115938/

Keep this in mind as you watch your son play baseball. Great message from Monte Lee-Head Baseball Coach Clemson University. Have You Stopped Recruiting A Player Because Of A Parents Action At A Game?

The mindset of the Hitter; The Hunter VS. The Hunted. THE HUNTER The dominate hitter is The Hunter! The Hunter hits with a weapon, he’s proactive, confident, hungry, determined to eat! He’s on offense, in pursuit, ready to ambush, ready to ATTACK! The Hunter Plans the Hunt and then Hunts the Plan, waiting in the weeds like a Tiger waiting for a gazelle. The Hunter loads his swing with prepared eyes, in full anticipation of the pitch and location he is hunting, 100% on-time,... with his A+ swing! THE HUNTED The struggling hitter is The Hunted! The Hunted hits with a shield, he’s reactive, uncertain, trying not to be eaten. He’s on the defense, being pursued, fidgety and insecure of ambush. The hunted lacks a game plan and clarity, waiting in an open field like a gazelle about to be eaten by a Tiger. The Hunted loads his swing with unprepared eyes, anticipating multiple pitches and locations, struggling to be on-time and struggling to take quality swings! HUNTING WHILE BEING HUNTED (Irony at its Best) The Hunter’s greatest challenge is being on offense when it appears he is on defense. This is an interesting concept because baseball is one of the only sports where this exists. In most sports the offensive has the ball and the defensive seeks to prevent the offense from scoring, but in baseball it’s the opposite. Most hitters hit defensive, unless they’re in advantage counts (1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 3-1). The defensive hitter (the hunted) is inconsistent, they hit with uncertainty. When uncertainty creeps into the mind, the hitter is defeated before ever swinging the bat. Uncertainty is what successful pitchers thrive on, and when hitters become uncertain they become the hunted! In the midst of being hunted by the pitcher, the key to successful hitting is for the hitter to become the Hunter! Becoming the Hunter has nothing to do with size, strength, age, or technique and everything to do with mindset and attitude! Get Your Mind Right - GYMR!

This is a kid who has the right perspective. In Baseball terms we would say, He gets it. It meaning meaning it’s not all about the individual. He.... keeps the process greater than the results. Keeps the team greater than himself. AND... Understands that the relationships, experiences, and friends are more important than any win or loss. ... 6TN
