Gamers,

Happy Wednesday! Lot of Baseball activity on the schedule. Time to start adding 5-10 pitches in your bullpen to begin to build up your pitch counts. I would suggest doing these in blocks of 15 pitches, simulating an inning. Have a great day, and you are all Champions in our book!

HALFWAY MARK!!!!!

Hey guys! Just a quick thought, and then peak at the videos. Everyone, meaning all baseball players, are in the same boat. No games are being played right now. So you have a FANTASTIC Opportunity to set yourself apart. What are you doing with your time? Are you making yourself better? You can put yourself ahead of the competition by following the daily plan laid out here for you. There’s no Excuse, ( except the one you make up), for not doing the work and staying ready……

Note: The weekends baseball IQ work is below if you missed it.

Last Day for Heads-Up Baseball

This is the last day to complete the Heads-Up Baseball assignments and get entered for a drawing for $300 gift certificate at StockX.com.  

Here is how to access to the full program:

https://headsupbaseball2.com/compete/dashboard/

User name: markgallion

Password: gamersbaseball

Players — the best way to learn from this program is to fill out the worksheets. If you complete all 14 worksheets by Sunday April 5th, send me a text message at (314)406-3196. You will be entered into a drawing for a new pair of shoes up to $300 on StockX.com.
Here is the fine print: Send me a text message saying “I have completed the 14 worksheets from Heads-Up”. If your name is drawn, you need to immediately text me pictures of the completed 14 worksheets. If you cannot do that immediately, the next name will be drawn (i.e. no scamming). 

April 5 – Day 14, 30 day Challenge

Hey guys and families. As mentioned yesterday this was supposed to be the youth teams “Opening Weekend” and have our High Schoolers in full Swing. ( yes pun intended). Our Goal is to continue to provide baseball, a program to follow and motivation for you. Below is a link to the Gamers site, a simple sign in is required, and then there are modules of baseball IQ situations to ” work through”. Again, these are designed to help put you in game situations, get your mind thinking baseball, and test your aptitude with short quizzes to follow. We are going to provide this every weekend for the next couple weekends, and expect 100% participation. #YouHaveTheTime

Hey, we hope you are all doing well, as can be and health first of all. Part of being healthy is a positive mental attitude/perspective. On that note we are encouraging parents to have their athlete watch the couple daily videos. They are intended to 1. motivate, but also 2.let the players know that we are here for them, in this with them, and providing a platform for them to follow and be as ready as possible for baseball when it returns.

 7-14u Players

Guys, so today would have been our Day 2 of Mini Camp. It still is, only it’s at home. So, your challenge is to thoroughly review all of the information below. The best ball players know each positions responsibility on all plays. Write down your responsibilities, have a family member quiz you, learn to “put the plays on”, as shown in the videos below.

Take today to get outside with your family, do some thing together you don’t normally do. (of course that might be exercise LOL, so go ahead). Make it a productive day, and we will have more baseball activity for you to accomplish tomorrow.

15-18u Players

Guys, so, here’s your challenge as well. If you have been on track each day, take today to be active outside of baseball. Use the day to play catch with a football, go for a Hike with your family, play Spike Ball, tennis, or even kickball are a couple of ideas. If you have missed a day then use today as a “Make-Up Day”! Here’s a little motivation for you if you are slacking: https://youtu.be/Sf0jzZIz2tU

March 23  Dynamic Warm-Up and Speed Progression

Our trainers at Athletic Republic (Thanks Dale and Brady!) have provided a dynamic warm-up routine for us this season.  We will be using it once practices and games get kicked off.  But, for now, the perfect way to start-off your work-outs each day.

There are two versions below — one where you have a larger space (basement, garage, tennis court, football field, etc…) and one where you have very limited space (like your family room).

 

Small Space Warm-Up

March 20 – Heads-Up Baseball

Here is lesson 15 of that program which is called “Heads-Up Life” which applies the principles of Heads Up baseball to non-baseball and to parents.

The first 14 lessons are even better.

HS players are seeing this for the first time. Here is how to access to the full program:

If your name is drawn, you need to immediately text me pictures of the completed 14 worksheets. If you cannot do that immediately, the next name will be drawn (i.e. no scamming).  Good luck — 14 days to win a new pair of J’s or Yeezy’s.
