Wes shares his incredible "full circle" journey—from almost crying when getting the invite to our training retreat (just two days after getting married!) to taking over a massive facility he envisioned managing months before it ever opened. We dive deep into why so many hitting and pitching instructors get stuck in a "defensive, competitive" mindset instead of an "offensive, creative" mode, and why chasing a massive business might be the exact thing stealing your fulfillment. If yo...

  Episode 219: Using a Closed Stance to Unlock Power, Direction & Adjustability

  Apr 14, 202615 minS0

  <p>In this episode, we dive deep into real in-season hitting development with a college slugger who's batting .330+ but leaving power and consistency on the table.
