Pitching

That's an example of what my generation of starting pitchers would do for conditioning (just the running part) between starts. Boy have times changed! For the last half of my career, I would include sprint work with the distance work on days 1 & 2 simply because I felt I would benefit from it.
Towards the end of my career, we started to see some changes in the approach to distance running and the benefits, or lack of benefits as many argue, pertaining to baseball players and more specifically, pitchers.When you think about it, if a pitcher were to throw 100 pitches and their delivery took 1-2 seconds to complete from start to release, you're looking at between 2-3 minutes of combined physical exertion for that athlete.

To be smart in this game is important. To know your body better than anyone else is a must. To know what adjustments you need to make physically or mentally, in the moment, are skills you MUST develop for long term success. This is one layer of Mental Toughness. If you work hard at perfecting your swing or delivery then it's certain that you know more than many about the mechanics of the game.
Catching

THIS is what our job is as adults. Realize it or not, most everything that happens on a ball field can be related to life in some way. The problem is, many are failing to see what this is all about. We have become so obsessed with the outcome that we are failing to recognize and believe in the process.

I love you. There are some things my father taught me growing up that I have the honor of now passing down to you. Below is a list of life lessons he taught me mixed with other lessons my path has given me. Read them, think about them and use them to help guide you through your life. We must be an example of what we say.
Baseball Life

It just doesn't matter. There is a GREAT chance they will never remember. It's NEVER as bad as we think it is. The wins, the losses, being on a losing team, playing with what we believe to be talent below our child's ability. I've been there. Blessed with the opportunity most will only get to dream of.
