The Primal Baseball Podcast

I finally have a guest back in the studio. Patrick Greenan, Pitching Coach at Salem State and Pitching Coordinator at 781 Evo joins the arena.

Pat and I met in Vermont playing American Legion against each other and have kept in touch ever since. Pat brings a similar philosophy as Primal Baseball to the table. 

in this episode, we talk about Pat's baseball journey, along with his recovery from TOS and his training methods and protocols. 

We end the episode by debating the importance of having a mechanical sided player (lab rat) and making sure they can compete when things arise in the game(gamer).

In life things will not be smooth, if you train with grit and non-perfect conditions, you will be prepared when obstacles arise.

The obstacle is the way, Let's have a week.

Today, Matt Chamberlain, CEO of Diamond Hitting Development joins the show. We talk about his experiences in baseball and his transition to coaching. Matt played for the St. Louis Cardinal organization and has experience many other college baseball players dream of. Matt and I talk about our thoughts on nutrition as well as our thoughts on energy, conforming, and having to deal with nasty fans during the game. We touch on some mental mindset models and training as well. It was a lot of fun recording this episode and I know you will enjoy it just as much. Please go follow him on Instagram and Twitter @diamondhitting. His insights and knowledge for the game of baseball are well beyond his years. I look forward to learning and working with Matt in the future.

Today Ted Bezemer of Axio Training joins the podcast for an episode filled with a discussion of training, recovery, and pitching performance.

Ted is a Strength Coach and Physical Therapist and shares his knowledge from working in the field for over 30 years. Ted discusses the ins and outs of strength and conditioning and why your training may not be translating to the field.

We touch on pitching performance and what it really takes to be successful and stay healthy as we progress in the weight room. Training can get over complicated with access to social media, when we can take a step back and look at the foundations and simplify, our performance has a chance to catch up.

This episode is filled with actionable steps and takeaways for you and your family to use in your every day life whether it's training for baseball or some other athletic activity. We hope you enoy.

In today's episode, I have former farm roommate and former Babson College teammate Henry Leake on the podcast.

Henry is the current Director of Pitching Development at Boston College. He recently finished his collegiate career that covered 6 years, two divisions, and one summer playing in the Cape Cod Baseball League.

Henry and I tackle the mindset shifts that come with changing from starters to relievers. As well as the struggles we had mentally during our time in college baseball.

We talk about the passion and drive behind the success we have had in college baseball and the performance enhancers no one is talking about because it doesn't sell.

Henry touches on the fundamentals of enjoying the game and having fun through simplicity as one of the main factors that led to his performance increases.

We give actionable steps on how to handle little to no resources, and what to do if your school does not have a pitching coach.

This is one you do not want to skip. Enjoy.

Mike Stein of the University of Iowa comes on today. Mike is the record holder for the Javelin throw and is only a Sophomore. He recently won gold at the U-20 Pan American Games and continues to improve and move forward in all aspects of life.

Mike and I talk about mental performance, visualizations, and which energy we use on the field and in the weight room. We discuss how simple things can be the key to extraordinary performance.

We touch on how to grow discipline and work ethic and how to become a more well-rounded athlete, I highly suggest you take some knowledge and actions away from Mike's journey.

Enjoy this one.

Northeastern University Center Fielder, Mike Sirota comes on the podcast to discuss his baseball journey and the next steps he plans to take in his career.

Mike and I talk through the physical and mental approach he takes to playing the game, we talk about the mindset and processes he uses in order to excel, along with the techniques he uses to get himself out of a funk and insert confidence in himself.

Mike talks about being created by the environment around him and continuing to push for better. The mindset he brings into pressure situations and hype around his game is to have gratitude for it. If you're that good, and have lots of attention, it means people believe in you and you are capable.

Hope you enjoy today's talk and take some valuable information away from it.

Another thoughts of the day episode packed in between some new guests on the show. Today I give some thoughts from my experiences over the past couple of days and try to relate them to baseball and life.

First, if we have a target, we have a better chance of getting there. If we don't know what we are aiming for, how are we supposed to hit it? As we identify a destination, we can correct the trajectory if we get lost along the way. We can always be off line, reset our sights.

Think about it this way, if you are driving from your house to the store, there are generally lots of different roads to take, they all get to the same place, not one is right. Find a way to the target.

Lastly, if you have intention with the plan, you have a better chance at finding a way to your goals. If you are committed and unafraid of making mistakes, instead attacking, the universe rewards you. Throw a curveball with all your intent and hang it? You can still get a ground out. Baby a curve with little intent, there's more of a chance it gets crushed.

Just like the weight room, you can use progressive overloading to level up in your life. Slowly get better at reading, working, learning etc. Slowly add difficulty and tasks/responsibilities into your life. You become stronger and can handle them little by little.

When you look back at how far you've come we generally want to go back and savor the moments we desperately are trying to get out of. We want to fast forward to being rich, to being famous, to being popular and having it all. Look around and find the gratitude and fun in having nothing. Having to grind everyday, having to build your character, being forged in the fire. Enjoy that part, without it there is no bright future. Embrace it.

Lastly, try to worry about yourself, cut off social media for a second, enjoy what you are doing, build what you are doing. Be happy for others, yet focus on your path. Your way, your dreams.
