The hidden work that makes your stars shine
Most people only see the highlight reels.
The towering home runs.
The breakout seasons.
The prospects who “figured it out.”
But behind every leap forward is a coach who saw the problem before the player even knew it existed.
Take one of your top prospects.
By the end of last season, he wasn’t happy.
Striking out too much.
Losing the approach that made him a top prospect.
He could’ve chalked it up to growing pains.
Instead, he got pissed off.
And he got to work.
But here’s what most people miss:
The real work happened before spring training even started.
It happened in the quiet, behind-the-scenes moments with your hitting coaches and player development staff.
The ones who helped him shift his focus.
Refine his mindset.
And trust his adjustments.
The result?
He walked into spring training and put on a clinic.
He didn’t swing and miss for dozens of straight pitches.
He hit astronomically.
He left camp with your top rookie award.
And now?
People talk about him like his success was inevitable.
Like it just happened.
But every player who levels up has a coach who saw the road before they did.
That’s the work that never makes the box score.
That’s the work that changes careers.
So who’s coaching your coaches?
Player development is a grind.
It’s long days.
Constant problem-solving.
And the pressure to get it right.
Not just for the team.
But for the players who trust them.
Hitting coaches and development staff pour everything into their guys.
But when they’re the ones stuck?
When they’re doubting an approach?
Or searching for a better way to connect with a player?
That’s where we at How We Won come in.
Before your coaches and staff can help players, they have to trust themselves.
That’s why we work on that trust.
On refining their instincts.
On sharpening their leadership.
And reinforcing what they already know but sometimes second-guessed.
Because the best coaches can teach mechanics.
They can guide.
Adapt.
Communicate.
And sometimes, they need a reminder of their own value.
By spring training, the results start speaking for themselves.
Your players are locked in.
The adjustments are taking hold.
And the coaches?
They’re seeing their work pay off.
Not just in the numbers.
But in the confidence players carry into every at-bat.
That’s the part people don’t see.
Your players trust their coaches.
Who’s making sure your coaches trust themselves?
Let’s get your staff the tools to do both.
