Sometimes the best thing a player can do for his team is step away from the team environment for a little while.
Not because there is anything wrong with team baseball.
Quite the opposite.
Teams are where players compete, learn how to win, handle pressure, earn roles and play for something bigger than themselves.
But there should also be a portion of the year where the focus can shift completely to the individual athlete.
No game tomorrow.
No lineup to prepare for.
No need to get hitters out this weekend.
Just time to ask:
What does this pitcher need to become better?
That might mean getting stronger.
Moving better.
Throwing harder.
Developing a pitch.
Cleaning up mechanics.
Improving command.
Building a better routine.
That is what the offseason can be.
And then you go back to your team as a different pitcher than the one who left.
Stronger. More prepared. More confident. More complete.
We have tremendous respect for the coaches who work with our athletes throughout the year. Our job isn’t to replace the team environment.
Our job is to help players use the offseason to become better versions of themselves so they can bring more back to their teams.
That’s what VIP is built for.
