Listen Later

Nate Headley discusses the importance of balancing training intensity to prevent athlete burnout. Learn effective communication strategies to ensure long-term success and well-being.

Here's what we go over in this interview with hitting academy owner, team coach, and one-on-one hitting instructor in Tennessee, Nate Headley (brother to Major Leaguer Chase):

  • “I think ultimately that's where you start to lose traction in the development process and building teams and I think that the more you can continue on a daily basis to pick up, if it's one thing a day...”
  • What's your filter? How do you know to follow a guy or two to give it a try, what's your filter for that?
  • “There's so much information available. If you're just paying attention to the game, if you're just paying attention to how they're attacking hitters in front of you, we force all our guys to get out of the dugout, out onto the field when they've got a guy getting loose.”
  • “We can give you all the information you need to be successful, but what you do with it is ultimately all that matters, because the development process is not going to be there.”
