Mental Training 1: Self-Talk

If I tell you NOT to press a red button, what do you think about? Pressing it.

We focus on what we’re trying to avoid.

Instead of “Don’t walk this batter,” try “Attack the zone.”

Focus on what you WANT to do! It starts with changing your thoughts!

I’ve gotten the chance to talk with some younger athletes lately, and something that has really stood out to me is how little we actually teach the mental side of the game.

We constantly tell athletes they need to work on their mental game, but are we actually teaching them HOW?

It’s an exciting time to be a Cardinal!

From the smallest investments to the biggest developments, every piece matters.

Grateful for a place that believes in its people, invests in its future, and continues to raise the standard!

Proud to be a Cardinal! 🔴⚪️ #ChirpChirp 👌🏽

Late nights at the field have become some of my favorite moments. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s next and forget to appreciate where you’re at. Trying to be more intentional about enjoying the little moments along the way. Views like this make it a little easier! ❤️🖤

Another day on the field and another opportunity to grow!

The process is full of learning, making adjustments, and finding ways to get better. So much growth comes from staying consistent, trusting the work, and building on the little things.

Lots to be excited about!🙌❤️🖤
