  • EP 202: RANT Measure What Matters

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we dive into why focusing solely on one metric  (ie. velocity in training) can be limiting. We discuss the importance of not overlooking other crucial factors like command and movement for a well-rounded player development approach.

    Learn how incorporating diverse metrics such as vertical jump and 60-time runs can provide a more complete assessment of player performance. We also emphasize the value of integrating game-like scenarios in practice, including live batters and runners, to better prepare athletes for real-game situations. Enhance your training with a comprehensive strategy that sets you apart from the competition.

    Send us a text

    In this episode of In the Zone, Jacob Turner discusses his transition from professional baseball to founding Moment Private Wealth, combining his love for sports and finance to assist athletes with financial management. He highlights the challenges athletes face, such as trusting advisors, balancing spending with saving, and understanding tax and investment strategies.

    Jacob addresses the difficulty of navigating online misinformation, particularly on social media, where valuable insights are mixed with misleading content. He contrasts the reality of hard work behind entrepreneurship with its often-glamorized image.

    Transitioning from sports or college to professional life requires a mindset shift. Success involves recognizing obstacles and maintaining realistic expectations. In baseball, misconceptions about career longevity and financial stability persist, necessitating continuous effort and planning.

    Financial risk management is crucial, requiring a balance between risk-taking and prudent saving. Turner emphasizes planning for life after sports and the importance of small, strategic steps during one’s career. Proactive career strategies, financial responsibility, and full commitment are essential for long-term success.

    Jacob advises focusing on controllable actions and maintaining dedication, sharing his experiences of maintaining focus in high-pressure situations. For success both on and off the field, he underscores the need for financial education and consistent, diligent effort.
