Build Something Worth Remembering

09/15/2026

A huge mistake athletes make is viewing training as something that starts and stops.

The higher you get in this game, the more you realize this is a lifestyle.

You don’t train because you have something coming up. You train because getting better is part of what you do every day.

The objective will change throughout the year, but the pursuit doesn’t.

The athletes that really get it don’t need a reason to start training.

They never stopped.

What an athlete wants isn’t always what they need.

A lot of athletes want feedback right away on what needs to change when it comes to the throw.

But instead of constantly cueing them, we can manipulate the training environment to encourage the movement solution we’re looking for.

This gives the athlete room to adapt and solve the problem without having to consciously think about every piece of the throw.

The goal isn’t to give them the solution, but to create an environment where they can find it.

The more we think about the throw, the harder it becomes to just throw.

Mechanics, cues, results, who’s watching, fear of failure. It all pulls attention away from the actual task in front of us.

That’s why I’ve been trying to gamify throwing more. Give the pitcher a hitter, something to solve, and an out to get.

The goal is to shift attention away from ourselves and back into the competition. To get closer to that beginner’s mindset where we aren’t trying to control every piece of the throw, we’re just playing the game in front of us.

Maybe making pitching less scary starts with giving ourselves something better to focus on.

If I wanted to become a faster, more explosive baseball player, these are 3 types of sprints I’d make sure I was doing.

1. Acceleration sprints
Most of the game happens in short bursts. Learn to produce force and get to speed quickly.

2. Curvilinear sprints
Baseball isn’t played in straight lines. Learn to create and maintain speed while navigating a curve.

3. Reactive sprints
The game requires you to respond to information. See it, react and go.

Speed is a skill. Expose yourself to different ways of using it.

There’s a lot about Taisei Ota’s 100 mph delivery that’s unique to him, but the principles underneath it aren’t.

Create momentum. Organize the pelvis and trunk. Sequence proximal to distal. Let the arm be the last piece through.

The positions are individual. The principles are transferable. Don’t get so caught up chasing what a delivery looks like that you lose sight of what makes it work.

Throwing too close into a net cuts off a ton of valuable information.

We want to make the training environment as feedback-rich as possible so the athlete has more information to organize the throw around.

If we spend all our time ripping into a net, we can get really good at solving that specific task. But when we get back on the mound and have to funnel that same throw over the plate, the problem changes, and the body may have to reorganize around a completely different movement solution.

What we find in training only matters if it transfers to the game. The goal is to create movement solutions that hold up when we actually have to compete.

You can’t cue an athlete into a position they don’t have the capacity to get into.

Constantly telling an athlete where their body needs to be can shift their attention internally and away from the task at hand.

But more importantly, if they physically don’t have the capacity to get into that position, no amount of cueing is going to solve it.

Before trying to fix the position, ask a better question:

Do they have the capacity to get there in the first place?

Build the capacity first, then create opportunities for it to emerge within the delivery.
