Nope. No way. Nuh-uh.

Want to dramatically curtail Arm Injuries? Pretty simple: Get kids to PRIORITIZE Arm Conditioning (what we call, Low Intent, Volume Throwing) over CHASING VELOCITY & STUFF. Ironically, if you CHASE Conditioning, you get your BEST Velocity & Stuff anyway. #1Arm, #1Career

Prayers for Sean Kuraly and his family at this time 💙❤️ May Rick Rest in Peace

Among many sequelae of FL's decision to no longer mandate vaccines, I'm curious if parents realize the impact this decision may have on their kids' ability to travel out-of-state (vs. quarantine) to tourneys, SCs, college visits when infection outbreaks occur (and they will).

Thanks to @CoachSheehan28 and @BHHSBaseball for the tremendous opportunity to discuss ⚾️ arm injuries with your 10-14 yo campers, their parents, & coaches last week. You have an outstanding program! It's a privilege to care for your athletes! @BostonChildrens #armcare

Thanks @danBien2 for this opportunity to discuss baseball injuries in the adolescent and high school baseball athlete! Keep doing great work!

Don’t fall in love with the exercise. Fall in love with what it gives you. Fitness isn’t just about adding years to your life — it’s about adding life to your years. Every workouts, every rep, every set, expands your world. It gives you strength to show up fully in life. Yes,

In youth sports (as in life), parents must be comfortable saying “no.” If you aren't comfortable saying no, find a coach who'll say no for you. If you have a coach who doesn't like you saying no, find a new team. You can't say yes to every team, tournament, showcase, or lesson.
