When I ask a player that’s performing well, “Why are you playing so well?” They typically reply, “...because I said f**k it, and just went out and played.” This is the F**k It Mindset. It includes the following elements: PURPOSE PREPARATION PROCESS

When you have the “F**k it” Mindset, it doesn’t mean that you stopped caring. It means that you focus & trust the right things (i.e. process). It also highlights that for a moment your PERSPECTIVE of the game is accurate. It’s just one chapter in your life, but it’s NOT life.

MENTAL MONDAY (done on Wednesday this week). Every Monday @NSU_Baseball we discuss topics like resilience, leadership, arousal control... If we’re going to task our student-athletes to be mentally tough, we need to coach them up on mental performance tools.

I find that a common theme amongst high performing athletes when they’re struggling is that they abandon their strengths. They go away from the things that make them good. Making adjustments & tweaking are critical to one’s success, but you cannot abandon what makes YOU - YOU.

Can’t beat this! Our pitchers get to warm up and meditate at the same time!

After 5 years of research, my study on the Yips has been published. I’m grateful to all that helped. W/ the influx of biomechanical instruction in baseball coaching/learning environment, it is critical to understand its impact on the robustness on the new motor skills acquired.

MIND-BODY-SOUL. ⁦@NSU_Baseball⁩ we start each practice w a MENTAL MINUTE. If you’re going to preach the mental side of the game, it has to be integrated daily into your practice schedule. WE > ME

Truly grateful @ABCA1945 for allowing me to speak at this year’s convention. It was such an honor to be amongst coaches from around the world that are impacting our players & the game in a very profound way. @NSU_Baseball

Very lucky to have George Lombard from the @Dodgers & Darren Fenster from the @RedSox speak to our team today. The advantage of trusting the PROCESS is one that is universally understood but to hear them share their perspectives on it based on their lived experiences is powerful!

I have never read or heard a story of GREATNESS or SUCCESS that only discussed the accomplishment. These narrations of GREATNESS focus on the journey towards the accomplishment. Keep your FOCUS on the journey (“process”) & the GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT will take care of itself.
