Introducing: Steve Springer of Quality At Bats.
Steve is a former Major Leaguer, big league scout and mental skills coach for the Toronto Blue Jays...
...and in my opinion one of the very best voices baseball has today.
Steve has a powerful (and important) message to share with your player, whether it be on how to "Hunt Speeds", "Opening Day Mentality" or just his story of perseverance from a lifelong benchwarmer/1b coach to a MLB player, you're really going to enjoy one of the best/most genuine teachers we have today.
PS. If you get a minute, leave us a review on iTunes/Spotify...I'm told that helps quite a bit :)
Thanks for tuning in!

In today's episode we are fortunate to have Ben Brewster from Tread Athletics.
Ben wrote "Building The 95MPH Body" and is one of the most sought after pitching-development coaches in the country.
As a former pitcher with degrees in exercise science, Ben has relentlessly challenged convention and went through the Try/Fail cycle more times than most - and through that experience has uncovered the key elements that TRULY contribute to a player improving velocity.
Today you'll learn:
-How Ben transformed himself from the worst player on his HS Freshman team to a professional pitcher.
-How velocity is NOT only for those who are gifted with it.
-What "Getting into your legs" actually means
-Why nutrition is an ENORMOUS factor in a pitcher's development.
-How strength training alone can correct mechanical flaws
...and much more.
Ben is a budding superstar in the pitching field, so be sure to check him out at www.twitter.com/treadathletics
