How NOT to Be FAT.

It’s intentionally simple.

It’s intentionally blunt.

And it’s not about judging people.

It’s not about body-shaming.

It’s not about saying you have to look a certain way.

It’s about learning how to avoid a lifestyle that slowly moves you away from health.

Because being unhealthy doesn’t usually happen overnight.

It happens through small decisions repeated over and over.How NOT to Be FAT.

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, faith, mindset, and everything that comes with chasing something bigger than yourself. I’m your host, Breland Almadova.

Over the last couple episodes, we’ve talked about resetting, restarting, refocusing, and doing the work.

And today, I want to talk about what happens after all of that.

Because starting is exciting. Getting motivated is exciting. Setting new goals is exciting. But eventually…the excitement wears off.

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, mindset, faith, and everything in between. I’m your host, Breland Almadova.

Last episode, we talked about resetting, restarting, and refocusing your life. And today, I want to take that one step further.

Because it’s easy to say: “I’m going to change.”

It’s easy to say: “This is going to be my year.”

It’s easy to get motivated, write down some goals, watch a motivational video, and feel like you’ve already accomplished something.

But eventually…

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, mindset, faith, and the lessons that come from the journey.

I’m your host, Breland Almadova. Today, I want to talk about something we all need from time to time:

A reset. A restart. A refocus.

There’s a message I’ve heard throughout the years from motivational speaker Jim Rohn that has always stuck with me:

Sometimes you have to step back, look at where you are, decide where you want to go, and make a change.

Train for the Career, Not Just the Season

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, faith, mindset, and everything that comes with chasing a dream.

I’m your host, Breland Almadova.

And today, we’re talking about something that I think every athlete needs to take seriously if they want to have a long career:

Your body.

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, faith, and the mindset it takes to become the best version of yourself.

I’m your host, Breland Almadova.

Today, I want to talk about something simple…

But something we all forget. Winning the day.

Not winning the season.

Not winning your career.

Not winning next year.

Just…

Winning today.

Because if there’s one thing baseball has taught me, it’s that you can’t play tomorrow’s game today.

Win Today!

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland. We just got back from CHS Field in St. Paul, Minnesota, and I wanted to record this while it’s still fresh. We swept the series, the dugout was electric, everyone was feeding off each other’s energy, and it reminded me of something I’ve learned over 15 years of professional baseball…

“Talent might win you a game… but chemistry wins championships.”

Letter to the Ephesians: “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, faith, and the lessons we learn through the game. I’m your host, Breland Almadova.

Today’s episode might step on a few toes, but sometimes those are the conversations worth having.

We’re talking about standards, leadership, and understanding your role on a team.

Because every successful team has something in common: Not everyone gets their way.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, faith, and the lessons we learn along the journey.

I’m your host, Breland Almadova, and today we’re talking about momentum.

Because whether it’s baseball, business, relationships, or life, momentum is a powerful thing.

When things are going well, confidence grows.

Energy rises.

Belief spreads.

And suddenly, what once felt difficult starts feeling natural.

But here’s the catch:

Momentum isn’t something you find.

It’s something you create.

It’s built through consistency.

Through showing up when you don’t feel like it.

Through trusting the process even when results aren’t immediate. And sometimes, all it takes is one small win to change everything. One good at-bat. One encouraging conversation. One breakthrough moment. One decision to keep going.

Letter to the Galatians: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Welcome back to Barrels with Breland, where we talk baseball, life, faith, mindset, and the lessons we learn along the journey.

I’m your host, Breland Almadova.

Today, we’re talking about one of the most powerful concepts in baseball—and in life: The next pitch mentality. Because no matter who you are, you’re going to strike out. You’re going to make errors. You’re going to miss opportunities. You’re going to have moments you wish you could take back. But what separates great players—and great people—isn’t avoiding mistakes. It’s learning how to move forward. One pitch at a time.

Letter to the Philippians from Paul the Apostle: But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heaven
