I’m amused when 24-year-old lifestyle entrepreneurs with no kids tell me I need a morning routine. At 6am, with two kids fighting over a balloon and the third trying to pull down the Christmas tree, your hour-long meditation and meticulously-prepared chai tea ritual isn’t for me.

Cam Schlitter's average velocity freshman year of college at Northeastern was 88.8mph. By his junior year, it was 90.4mph. Last night, it was 98.9mph. So maybe don't worry if your 15-year-old son isn't already committed to a SEC program?

Players need to get over D1 love affair. Many D2/D3 programs have produced big leaguers. It's just a number; go where you can play/develop.

For me, the biggest takeaway from this video is that you should buy your catcher dinner for catching you at dusk with a white background behind you.

Somewhere in FL, a few dozen high school kids are asking themselves, "Wait, our chemistry substitute teacher throws 100mph?"

Yesterday, a high school coach died while shielding students from bullets. The next time you claim a teacher or coach “has it in“ for your child, remember that the overwhelming majority of them are wonderful, well intentioned people who’d do anything to help (and protect) kids.

You know the pro athlete you’re heckling on Twitter? He’s probably pitched or been hot in the ‘pen 7 straight days. Something likely hurts. Good chance he had a red-eye flight & only slept 2hrs last night. May not have seen wife/kids for wks. So settle down & just watch the game.

No MLB pitcher has thrown >3IP yet, but high school arms threw complete games in FL this week. And, the HS kids will be playing fall ball four weeks after the World Series ends. The first "fix" for the injury epidemic is more about math and common sense than cutting-edge ideas.

A former walk-on just won the Heisman. It's yet another reminder that scouts/coaches are wrong more than they're right in the recruiting process. You can either prove them wrong or prove them right.

I’m excited for this opportunity w/the Yankees as part of their sports medicine/performance team. It’s an honor to work for such a storied franchise. I should note: I’ll remain heavily involved at @CresseySP. This role does not limit CSP in our work w/professional players (1/2).

Biggest regret I hear from college athletes? They should've started strength training sooner. Getting stronger is a game changer for performance AND the ability to acquire new skills. If you're 21 and just gaining strength you should have had when at age 16, you're way behind.

We have MLB players who are almost two months into offseason training, yet Little Johnny is still attending tryouts for 10u travel ball. It's absurd that some skeletally immature baseball players have longer competitive seasons than professional athletes.

A lot of dads are looking for ideal training programs for their 10-year-old kids when what those young athletes really need is a shovel, rake, wheelbarrow, and hearty dose of manual labor.
