Charlie Jabaley "AKA Charlie Rocket!" and his "DELUSIONAL OPTIMISM" joins us today to share his inspiring story of chasing his dream of becoming a Nike athlete....long after he buried the dream in middle school because he was slow, overweight and unathletic.  After a successful career in the music industry (won a grammy and emmy!) he decided he was going to accomplish his childhood dream of becoming a Nike athlete.  Charlie was over 300 lbs at the time but was committed to the dream.  In this episode he shares his story and gives advice to young kids about chasing their dreams - from visualization, journaling, positivity and more.  SO MANY good takeaways from this conversation, with the potential to truly change a life.
 
BRUM BANDS: If you haven't checked out the newest project at Baseball Notes, our Brum Bands are fast becoming the most popular hitting aid in the country.  Developed by professional hitting coach Mike Brumley, the set of bands FORCE players into good swing positions and IMMEDIATLEY inform a player on the feel they're looking for.  Pick them up on baseballnotes.com or Amazon as well.

In part 2 of our conversation on development, MLB veteran (40 years experience) shares his favorite and most useful technology/tools that have become widespread over the last decade.
Mike also talks about what a "good miss" vs a bad miss looks like for a hitter, the reason why ground balls are such a problem at the higher levels (I had never heard this before), who he thinks is the best pro team in all of MLB at developing players and some insights as to what that organization does well - which is fascinating.

40 year MLB veteran Mike Brumley shares his experience in the Dominican Republic and in Taiwan in how they develop their baseball players differently than here in the US.
 
Mike also talks about the biggest difference between how the game is played in Taiwan vs US (I had no idea), what type of American players do well overseas, the secret/non secret as to why Dominicans become pro ball players at such a high rate and much more.
