This week, we received a message from a coach after he watched the 7-minute conversation with Nate Trosky.

And it perfectly captured why Baseball Flows exists.

That’s the gap.

And it’s one many well-meaning coaches and parents don’t even realize exists.

The Most Overlooked Problem in Player Development

Most training environments do a good job teaching positions:

• Footwork drills

• Cone work

• Reps in isolation

But games don’t ask players to repeat drills.

Games demand transitions:

• From load → explode

• From field → throw

• From balance → chaos

• From perception → action

When those transitions aren’t trained, players look great in practice…

and stiff, rushed, or robotic in games.

That’s when people say:

But that explanation lets the system off the hook.

You Can’t Teach Talent… But You Can Teach Movement

One line from the conversation stood out:

And that’s the truth.

The players we often label as “naturals” aren’t magically better—

they’re better movers.

They have:

• Better proprioception (awareness of where their body is in space)

• Better sequencing

• Better control under speed and pressure

When movement improves, skills seem to “show up on their own.”

We’ve seen it at every level:

• 9–10U players who were written off

• High school athletes labeled “not athletic enough”

• Players who didn’t fit the mold… until movement clicked

Not because they suddenly became more talented—

but because their movement system finally supported the skill.

A Hard Truth (and an Honest One)

One coach in the conversation said something powerful:

Sometimes, when coaches run out of tools, they run out of belief.

Not because they don’t care—

but because they’re teaching what they were taught.

As another line reminded us:

That’s why growth in coaching requires humility.

And why one of our core beliefs is this:

Unlearning is part of learning.

Why Baseball Flows Exists

Baseball Flows isn’t here to replace coaches.

It’s here to bridge the gap.

We help players:

• Learn how to move, not just where to stand

• Transition athleticism into real game speed

• Build awareness, control, and confidence

• Stop relying on “giftedness” and start developing it

Because when movement improves:

• Confidence rises

• Injuries drop

• Performance becomes repeatable

And players stop being labeled by what they “don’t have.”

A Final Thought

When coaches, parents, and educators come together with curiosity—

not ego—players win.

That conversation with Nate wasn’t about being right.

It was about being open.

And that mindset is the future of player development.
