Fantastic weekend for Zeke’s first MLB game! Camden Yards was a perfect place to do it! #ZMR🤟🏽#RaysUp

Saw these amazing people out rucking for Veterans on my run. Had to stop and get a picture and tell them how awesome it was to see. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Kids can tell the difference between "you're the problem" and "let's figure this out."

"He pulled off the ball." We say it, then we build the fix around it. One line isn't enough to coach from. What we saw, the count, the plan, the at-bats before it. Context first. Then the fix.

Study by Folmer et al. (2008), 166 kids ages 5–15: older kids tended to think needing lots of effort as less ability. The shift tends to show up around 10–12. So don't just look for what to fix. Catch them doing something good, and tell them exactly what it was.

A thought for the coaches out there. Most of the time we step in too early because it’s hard for us to watch, not because they need it. Maybe the job really is learning how to wait on the right moment? Patience isn’t passiveness. #playerdevelopment”

48 hours of a baseball dream. World Series with Z. Then home for his own playoff game. Watching him fall in love with the game has reenergized mine. 🤟

Proud to be a Ray! Congrats to everyone who played a part. An organization’s only goal should be to compete for a chance to win the World Series. Doing that is a product of the great work people do that doesn’t get seen. Congrats to a great year for everyone involved! #RaysUp

Now we’re ready!

Before you change his swing, figure out what he was doing two seconds before it. Your hitter's late. But did it start with his swing?

The best hitters in the world aren't thinking about mechanics in the box. So what's taking up that space instead?

Kids will tell you more than you expect if the question is a good one. "Were you late?" ends the conversation. What would open it up?

Cage swings and game swings feel like the same thing. Are they? Same body, same bat. Something else is different on Saturday.

Video shows us the swing because that's the easy part to film. What we can't film is usually where the story starts.

Most of us only start looking once the ball's in the air. What was he seeing, thinking, or deciding before that?

I've heard this one in every cage, every dugout, every car ride home. And I get why. It's simple, and sometimes it even works. But I've started to wonder what it's actually fixing. 🧵

Finish the story!!! Rays up!!!

Last day of 1941. Ted Williams is hitting .39955, which rounds up to .400. He could’ve sat out and kept it. He played both games, went 6-for-8 and finished at .406. Would you have sat out? Be honest.
