The standard isn’t supposed to be easy. The standard isn’t supposed to be convenient. The standard isn’t supposed to be comfortable. The standard isn’t supposed to be normal. The standard requires that we make a choice: will we live our feelings or our standard?

When Coach Palmer sends over some UCSD softball gear, you know it’s about to get used with some dedication and hard work. Also, just in case anyone thought functional strength meant not being strong… strength and movement quality can coexist. I don’t deadlift heavy much

Self-care is not self-ish… it’s self-less… because when you prioritize and emphasize your mental, physical, and emotional well-being… and you ensure your ‘bucket is full’… you have more to pour into others!

😱One of the biggest mistakes in sports today: 🤔Most coaches & athletes focus on training… but ignore recovery. 👊Yet recovery is not optional : Recovery is part of performance. 🧵 @Volodalen @MotorPreference @ABCA1945 @NFCAorg @NCAASoftball @NCAABaseball #Baseball #sports

🚨 Skenes - Quantifying Success • 1st pitch strikes • 2/3 pitches for strikes • A result in 3 pitches or less ⭐️ Early action is a starting pitcher’s best friend. Attack the zone & stay in control of the count.

Team USA pitcher Paul Skenes had a sensational outing in first World Baseball Classic start, while wearing 2 Timothy 1:7 on his glove 👏 “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

Do yourself a favor and read how much Paul Skenes loves America, our military, & is proud to represent it in the World Baseball Classic in his Players Tribune article👇🏼 “Those of us who are doing this … it’s not about money or fame. It really is just about having a genuine love
It is an honor to represent my country at the WBC. Go USA 🇺🇸 @PlayersTribune https://t.co/ids7clpcYQ

Don’t chase perfection. Chase progress. Small daily improvements. Let them compound.

One thing pro baseball taught me that youth players don’t always understand: Talent gets you noticed. Consistency keeps you in the lineup. The biggest separator between good players and great ones is simple: They show up the same way every day. Same preparation. Same

Good Decisions Don’t Guarantee Good Outcomes One of the most dangerous traps leaders and high performers fall into is the belief that good outcomes always come from good decisions—and that bad outcomes are the result of bad ones. That’s simply not true. Life isn’t a vending

Mel Robbins crushed the biggest self-help myth in 54 seconds: You CAN’T choose how you feel — but you CAN choose what you do about it. “Feelings aren’t a choice. Your behavior and your thoughts are always a choice.” She’s brutally clear: You don’t control the wave of emotion
