The Primal Baseball Podcast

In the world around us, there has been an increase in fake things clouding our space. This is due to the fake things being accessible and easy to attain in a short amount of time with little to no work. As humans, we are conditioned to know the real from the fake. However, if we never feel the real, there is no way for us to differentiate one from the other. I know you all have felt the difference...

I portray my thoughts from yesterday. There are problems in the world that are currently being created with the purpose being to sell you the solution. Understand how simple base performance can be and build from there. Teammates are a resource to utilize at all times. Teammates performance does not reflect your performance and does not make you a better or worse player. Use the success of others...

In today's episode, I include events that have happened over the past few days. I tell stories from lessons, phone calls with friends, and boredom thinking. I address the difference between what we want to do and what not to do.  Focus on what you want to become, not what you want to avoid. I relay information I learned from my good friend Timmy Noone, who is now a Left handed Pitcher at Duke...

Things are constantly falling apart for you. Life is clearing the way so you can be given something you never thought was possible. It looks like a huge deal in the short term when in reality the world is investing your energy for you. It will return it back with greater dividends.  We are constantly training for life, everything we train for is within life. When we change our mindset to trai...

First time back in a little while. Today I touch on each day being abundant with an amazing amount of opportunities and possibilities. Each day you never know if you will get a life-changing opportunity. Every day has its own special lifetime. I speak about sacrificing and how college athletes are not handed their experience. They earn the experience of a lifetime. Lastly, I finish up with a rant...

We often become fixated on issues and problems because society or someone else instills the problem in our mind. If we are focusing on something being off, we will see it and find it. If we can distance ourselves, try to take no biases and look at the bigger picture, more often than not we can see the actual problem.  I also speak about the ability to know we don't know everything. Even if we...

In Today's episode I have a wide range of topics. These are all thoughts that have popped into my mind over the last couple of days. I hope you find a little bit of knowledge, or find something to help you down your path within this episode.  Sometimes in our daily lives we must  stop to see what's going on around us. This way we can learn from the environment around us. Things are const...

In today's podcast I speak on the ideology of using negatives instead of positives. I talk about the evolutionary reasoning behind it, and the way to overcome it. I touch on taking everything anyone says with a grain of salt, and looking within before giving jdugement and advice freely. Take this episode with a grain of salt. Take in the helpful parts, discard the bullshit. Have a good Sunday.

In today's short episode I talk about the unknown. The ability to harness the unknown is something many of us lack in today's world. We are handed a path, a step by step process to get there. Most of us are even sold services and potions to expedite this process of being uncomfortable and in unfamiliar territory. Skipping this part of the journey is something we cannot afford. We must learn to be...

In today's episode I touch on dreams I had as a kid. How society and other people can say or do things that may crush yours. Dreams will not be the same for everyone. There will be insecure people, as well as small voices in your head telling you why it is not possible, telling you why it's too hard. Fight back. I speak about growing up and why it may not be the best thing to do. Finally I end by...

With the technological advances in today's world and all the metrics being used to get us to peak human performance, we sometimes forget who is in control. We have the final say, not everything can be explained by data. There are things at work deeper than technology can explain. This is true for baseball and life. Continue to trust yourself and use these resources to move forward. Make sure you a...

Today's episode dives into showing other's what you are doing. Make sure that you are working quietly. The world will reward you for the work no one else can see. It is a blessing to be able to work day in and day out without anyone seeing it, then all of a sudden, you are talented or an overnight success. Be aware that what you see from other's on social media is what they want you to see or beli...

Speech and Attention are hidden powers that are not understood enough in today's society. Use these tools to your advantage and build/create exactly what you want. We can only gain an advantage by using these concepts. If you try it and it doesn't work, you haven't lost anything. I also touch on being able to give ourselves advice from an outsider's view. We are often quick to give advice to other...

First time back in awhile. In today's episode I speak about the idea of beginning each day at 0. If we restart each day we have the ability to fill each and every day as a new life. We are never guaranteed another day, pushing things back or holding off until the time is right is going to get us nowhere. The time will never be right. Each day holds it's own life. Use momentum and fill the day with...

In today's episode I talk about Nature and it's healing/magical force. I talk from experience, and from knowledge I have gained from moving away from nature. Nature is the real world, not these concrete buildings we create. I am by no means against civilization, my main focus in this episode is to encourage you to connect with nature and find ways to get back to your roots. I also want to broaden...

Having the ability to go into auto pilot in the morning and night can be beneficial to us. If we have good routines that set us up for the day and the following day we can execute the middle part a little less frantically. Humans can adapt, when we do something over and over our bodies and brains adjust and become good at performing those tasks. Adding some constants into your night and morning ro...

We control a time machine and can use it to our advantage. In our minds we look ahead to what's next and we look to the past for past experiences and knowledge we have learned. When we learn to harness this power we can unlock new level of ourselves. We can look back to obtain strength, progress and wisdom. We can look forward and visualize our success and excellence. Use your mind as a competitiv...

We all have certain expectations and plans for how our story is goi...

It is easy to forget how far we have come. it is easy to forget why we started doing something or why we first fell in love with it. If we can eliminate the drama, the bullshit, and the distractions, we can go back to a time where the only focus we had was to enjoy the moment and the task we were immersed in.
