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. 💪
