Movement prep isn't just about mobility and stretching; it's about preparing your entire body for action!
It involves getting your vision, nervous system, and global movement patterns ready to meet the demands of the game

Movement prep isn't just about isolated mobility and stretching; it's about preparing your body for the rhythm and flow of the game‼️

I played for Dino Ebel when I was with @Dodgers he is one of the best infield coaches!

Talent doesn’t set the ceiling—intentional and deliberate practice does!
Mindless reps won’t make you better
Train with purpose, focus on details, and challenge yourself every session
Small adjustments = big gains
Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes progress
