☑️ Hitting Principles: Discipline 🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️
✔️ Discipline isn’t just about what happens at the plate—it’s about the totality of who you are as an athlete and a person. If you want to perform at a high level consistently, discipline must be at the core of your approach. Here’s why: 1️⃣ Discipline Builds Strong Routines and Processes • Successful hitters prioritize preparation through routines. • They trust their process, which allows them to perform with consistency and confidence. 2️⃣ Off-Field Discipline is Just as Important • Taking care of your body through sleep, nutrition, and recovery impacts performance. • Emotional discipline helps you handle the highs and lows of the game. 3️⃣ Discipline Keeps You Mentally Clear • A disciplined approach allows hitters to: • Stay focused on their game plan. • Make quick adjustments to the pitcher. • Avoid being reactive and overly emotional at the plate.% 4️⃣ Undisciplined Hitters Make the Game Easier for the Pitcher • Emotional swings and lack of preparation lead to inconsistency. • Discipline helps you stay one step ahead, even when the game gets tough. 5️⃣ Discipline Builds Long-Term Success • It creates good habits that carry you through slumps and challenges. • It ensures you’re constantly learning and improving from mistakes. 6️⃣ Coaches and Scouts Value Discipline • Maturity and a strong understanding of the game stand out. • Discipline shows you’re serious about playing at the next level. 7️⃣ Motivation Gets You Started, Discipline Keeps You Going • Motivation fades, but disciplined habits are what keep you consistent and growing. 🏁 Final Thoughts: Discipline isn’t a skill you’re born with; it’s a choice you make daily. Start small by building routines, focusing on the controllables, and holding yourself accountable. Over time, discipline will separate you from the competition and help you become the best version of yourself—on and off the field. 💬 What’s one area where you can show more discipline this week? Drop your thoughts below!

@Lane Adams Big offense day. Baserunning and hitting rotations with some live machine work at the end. Football likes to play for championships so we’re waiting on some of them before we progress too far lol

@Lane Adams only a few things I’ll hang outside in the cold for… that is definitely one of them.

Hopefully some dudes will spend time taking ugly swings off a machine that sucks to train a competitive (and adjustable) barrel!

Practice really well and seek out growth opportunities. Willing to prioritize development over results, especially in a setting when we as coaches are trying to manufacture adversity for them. Get thrown out trying to take an extra base, make an error trying to make a play, etc. Especially in the fall. Most of the time young guys are scared of their own shadow and don’t take risks, push themselves or really optimize their opportunities because they’re timid. Asking questions falls under that umbrella as well for us. If we as coaches can recognize that a player has upside based on the way they practice, lift, etc., it speaks to their ability to help the team win sooner. And I mean intangible upside, like their game stands to improve even if they don’t gain another pound or grow another inch. Not only are they a step ahead of most of their peers, it speaks to a level of maturity that we won’t have to teach them in a year or two and can worry about coaching them up on things that more immediately contribute to winning. Basically, prove to us you want to get better and are willing to struggle at times if that’s what it takes. We can see through the 1.000 fielding percentage if you got it by never actually trying to make a play.

@Lane Adams failure is the single most effective way to diagnose and self-correct, as well as “scout yourself” and figure out what you can and can’t do at game speed

Super-retired college hitter, but here goes: 1. You know that feeling going into a game against a team when you knew they had a stud going on the mound? Or their 3-hole was a D1 guy? Every single day is like that in college. It’s everyone’s best dudes at all 9 spots. Have to manage the emotions and awe of what you’re in the middle of and just compete. 2. I would’ve spent more time on the details of my game. It was very result-driven, which as one of the better HS players in the area (as all college players were), it can really blind you to where your deficiencies are if you’re just better than everyone around you. Recognize holes in your game by pushing yourself when you can and attack those holes with humility. 3. So much emphasis is put on getting to college baseball, but don’t lose sight of what happens once you get there. Riding the emotional high of your commitment lasts until you show up on campus. Then you have to deliver. So being there is great, staying hungry enough to thrive takes a special kind of person. College baseball is hard.
