Grind Time

One of our 14 year old athletes, Sammy Eisenberg, joins us on the show to discuss how The Summer Grind course helped him perform better on and off the baseball field.

Scott Lacey is back on the show to finish off the discussion on whether or not you should play summer baseball. Scott and I go over this complexed question in regards to collegiate baseball players.

I go solo today as I discuss whether athletes should play summer baseball. I talk about the questions that I ask to help guide each athlete in finding the right balance of physically developing their bodies and playing the sport itself.

Listen to Walker explain his story on how he realized that the only way to get where he wants to be is to eliminate all his excuses and take ownership of his game. 

The roles are slightly reversed on this one as Bobby interviews me about the importance of hinging, especially when it comes to producing power on the baseball field.

Today we dive deep into how Bobby Tewksbary uses cutting edge technology to assess and correct hitters. Bobby is a hitting coach that has worked with back-to-back MLB MVP's which includes him throwing in the 2015 Home Run Derby and continues to work with the World's top hitters. He is the co-author of "Be A Hitter" and "Elite Swing Mechanics" and runs Hitting Daily, a site where he publishes 5 times per week about all his thoughts on hitting.

Today, Scott and I discuss the difference of plyo care balls and weighted baseballs. We talk define each one and the purpose behind each specific tool. Then, we go into when and how we use them with our athletes.

Jackson and I take a walk through his baseball career which is full of ups and downs. We discuss what it was like to throw along side Trevor Bauer and how he continues to stay motivated through adversity.

Andrew McKirahan, a retired Major League Baseball pitcher joins us to talk about what it's like not being the biggest, fastest, strongest kid on the team and how he overcame his size to make it all the way to the pros.

Travis and I dive into the 3 phases of play that athletes must balance out.

True Grind System's Brandon Janecka is joined this week by Scott Lacey, True Grind's baseball skill development coordinator & D3 pitching coach. In Texas, we are 3 to 4 weeks into our baseball season and we are seeing the impact of increasing loads and playing more games on athletes.
