The Next Season Podcast

You need to know what coaches and scouts are really looking for. Baseball is a game of details. And if you're missing these ones, you’re in trouble.

In Part 2 of this two-part series, I break down 4 more subtle red flags that silently kill trust with coaches and hold players back—on the field and in life.

These aren’t just performance issues.

These are character issues, mindset traps, and lifestyle habits that coaches notice… even if you think they don’t.

(I had a few challenges with the mic and recording this episode, appreciate your understanding with the minor audio issues)

🚩 Victim Mentality & Self-Shaming

🚩 The Impact of Poor Nutrition, Hydration and Sleep

🚩 The 'Always Kinda Hurt' Guy

🚩 Not Cleaning Up The Dugout

PLUS why they matter from a brain-science 🧠 perspective, and what you can do about it.

If you’re serious about getting recruited, earning playing time and becoming a complete player, this is an episode you can’t afford to skip.
