  • Things I Did to THROW HARD (Part 1 of 3) | HEAT CHECK 7

    Things I Did to THROW HARD (Part 1 of 3) | HEAT CHECK 7
    Feb 6 2026
    This is Part 1 of a 3-part Heat Check Series where I walk through different points in my career journey in which I threw hard. There’s been 4 specific occasions throughout my journey that I threw hard but each experience entailed different approaches to the same goal so it’s fun to reflect/unpack it all and think it could be of value for those listening in. In this episode, I reflect on my high school years and what I was actively doing to influence my throwing velocity which landed me the 88th overall pick in the 2010 MLB Draft (when things were so simple lol) Then we’ll dive into the 2014-2015 season, breaking down how athleticism, long toss, mindset, and freedom played a massive role in power output. This is experience-based, not absolute! Hope this helps someone!

    Breaking Down 2026 Goals With My Girlfriend | THE HEAT CHECK 6
    Jan 1 2026
    In this episode of The Heat Check, I’m joined by my Boo-Skenes AKA Girlfriend @coachmorganfontaine, for a completely unscripted, real conversation about 2026 goals, consistency, perfectionism, routines, and what it actually takes to stay authentic when life, content, and identity start shifting. This one is raw by design. No outline. No polish. Just us talking through communication habits, filler words, social media pressure, athlete identity, burnout, and how hard it can be to keep promises to yourself — especially when motivation fades.
