.@Cubs #ThrowbackThursday to my first trip to #WrigleyField as a 13 yr old kid.
Dreams really do come true. 🙏⚾️

Metrics started in MLB. I get it—it’s professional baseball. Then they moved to college, then HS, and now youth baseball.
Do we really need all these metrics at every level?
At some point, kids just need to learn how to play the game.
John Baker retweeted
Autonomy isn't the opposite of coaching. It's the point of it.
Athletes who feel real ownership of their development show more motivation, more resilience, and stronger performance under pressure.
Making the shift doesn't mean you stop teaching. It means you teach differently.

The reset is a skill.
Bringing your mind back from the past or future to now is mental weightlifting. Mindfulness before the game trains attention. Visualization after builds focus and calm.

We’ve started a Saturday morning rucking club in the Bay Area. And wow, it is so much easier to walk further with other people I guess that old adage “if you want to go fast go alone if you want to go far go together” is true. #rucking

No process means no control. Show up, play, hope it goes well — that's not mental toughness, that's luck.

Best performers don't just show up and hope for the best. They have a ritual, a process, a plan.
PRIME with intention.
PERFORM with presence.
LEARN with honesty.
Before The Field puts that framework in your kid's hands.

A quick update from the founder.
I coach my kids' teams, and I've struggled consistently getting mental skills training and mindfulness training to them. We do some, but not enough — and it's the consistency that matters most to help them.
That's why we built the Before The Field Coach Tool and the team connectivity part of the platform. It gives athletes access to mental skills training and complements the on-field work. I use it with my own teams, and I've seen tremendous results.
The Coach Tool isn't available to the public yet, but we're hoping to share it soon.

Competing is all about staying present.
Staying present takes relaxation — the absence of stress. Before The Field helps clear it so your athlete plays free.

Love my new John Baker Game shirt! Fun way to commemorate my favorite Cubs regular season game. @obvious_shirts @Cubs @manbearwolf @SonRanto

A quick word from the founder.
Being a sports parent is hard. You will fail. I have.
Tell your kid you're sorry. Be better. Do less. Stay aware. Keep improving.

The parent job description in youth sports:
🛡️ Safe Base — same you, good performance or bad perfromance, same you
🧠 Emotional Regulator — they read your face before the scoreboard
👍 Chief Encourager — your belief fuels their love for the game
Not on the list: coach, analyst, motivator.
Psychological safety isn't soft. It's the foundation of high level performance.
