Pro Tip Tuesday 💬 Hiding injuries doesn’t mak Pro Tip Tuesday 💬
Hiding injuries doesn’t make you tougher—it can actually hurt you and your team more in the long run.
I recently sat down with Five Tool instructor and former Indiana State baseball player Jackson Taylor, who shared his experience of taking a fastball to the eye that caused nerve damage and took him off the field for a year. One thing he said really stuck with me:
👉 “You don’t get extra credit for pretending you’re fine. Let people be there for you—it’ll make a huge difference.”
That truth hit hard. As athletes, we’re often conditioned to “tough it out,” to keep pushing through pain and never show weakness. But real strength isn’t about hiding what’s going on—it’s about being honest enough to protect your body, your future, and your role on the team.
When you ignore pain or hide injuries, you’re not just risking your own long-term health—you could be letting your team down by not being at 100%. Recovery isn’t a setback. It’s a strategy to return stronger, smarter, and more durable.
Taking care of yourself—physically, mentally, and emotionally—is how you become the best version of yourself on and off the field. It’s how you earn longevity in your sport, how you become a reliable teammate, and how you model leadership and self-awareness.
Let the people around you help. Speak up. Rest when your body needs it. That’s not quitting—it’s champion-level discipline.
đź’¬ Toughness is knowing when to fight, and when to heal.

Motivation Monday 💥
There will always be peop Motivation Monday 💥
There will always be people who doubt you, question you, or say you’re not good enough. That’s okay—because their opinions don’t define your limits. You do.
Instead of letting the doubt get in your head, let it fuel your fire. Show up. Work hard. Stay locked in. The best way to prove people wrong isn’t with words—it’s with action.
Let your hustle do the talking. Let your growth be the response. And let your success be the loudest thing they hear.
This week, stay focused, stay confident, and show them exactly what you’re capable of. 💪
#MotivationMonday#ProveThemWrong#WatchMeWork#FueledByDoubt#ConfidenceInTheGrind#YouCanYouWill
Motivation Monday đź”§đź’Ş Problems will always po Motivation Monday đź”§đź’Ş
Problems will always pop up—that’s just part of the game. But what really matters is how you respond. Instead of getting stuck on what went wrong, shift your focus to what you can do next.

Worrying about the problem won’t change it. But putting your energy into finding a solution? That’s where growth happens. That’s where confidence is built.

Great athletes, students, and leaders don’t let challenges stop them—they use them as fuel to think smarter, work harder, and keep moving forward.

This week, when something doesn’t go your way, don’t freeze. Focus forward. You’ve got what it takes to figure it out.

Pro Tip Tuesday đź’¬ (For Coaches) Remember, when Pro Tip Tuesday đź’¬ (For Coaches)
Remember, when an athlete misses practice or seems withdrawn, it’s often a sign of something bigger—stress at home, mental health struggles, or pressures you might not see. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and as a coach, you play a vital role in supporting your players’ overall well-being.
This isn’t just a challenge for them—it’s a crucial opportunity for you. Being there for your players beyond the game can make all the difference. Sometimes, you might be the only person who notices or takes the time to ask how they’re really doing. That moment to listen, to show care, can be a lifeline for an athlete who feels isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed.
Taking the time to know your players as whole people—not just athletes—builds trust and shows them they matter beyond their stats or performance. It creates a safe space where they feel comfortable opening up about struggles they might hide from others. When mental health is prioritized, athletes can develop resilience, confidence, and focus that fuels both their personal growth and athletic success.
Great coaching means more than drills and game plans—it means leading with empathy, checking in regularly, and being ready to support your players through whatever they’re facing. Your role isn’t just to build better athletes but to nurture stronger, healthier individuals.
Lead with heart. Show up fully. Your support might be exactly what your athletes need to thrive.

Pro Tip Tuesday 💥 Excuses don’t build greatne Pro Tip Tuesday 💥
Excuses don’t build greatness. If you’re saying you can’t practice but the truth is you won’t—be real with yourself. You don’t have to want to be the best... but if you say you do, then your actions better match your words. Champions don’t skip the work—they show up, no matter what. 💯

Motivation Monday 💥
Nothing is truly impossib Motivation Monday 💥
Nothing is truly impossible when you bring the right mix of effort and heart. It’s not about talent or luck—it’s about your mindset. When you believe in yourself and refuse to quit, mountains turn into stepping stones. That determination is what separates those who dream from those who achieve.
Show up, stay focused, and keep pushing—because limits usually live where your determination gives up. Every challenge becomes an opportunity, every setback a lesson. The real game changer? Knowing that your hard work and heart are powerful enough to break through any barrier.
Start this week ready to push past limits, fight through doubts, and prove to yourself that impossible is just a word. Your mindset is your secret weapon—use it well. 🔥
