The first 20 minutes

Tonight’s 20 minutes.

Catch in the backyard. Hitting at a local field, a cage or a net in the garage. Sprints in the street. Start the 20. Stack the days.

Catch in the backyard. Hitting at a local field, a cage or a net in the garage. Sprints in the street. Start the 20. Sometimes he wants two hours — let him. Sometimes 20 minutes is all you get. That’s still a great day. The daily habit of doing is the work. Stack the days.

Write down the cue that landed. That’s how you stop guessing next Tuesday.

Marks

We don’t score trophies. We mark showing up — and the days he didn’t want to stop.

First 20 is waiting. Check it off tonight.

Next: First 20

Tonight

  1. What it looked like

    Pick whatever fits. One is enough.

  2. The 20

    Start. Then either he wanted more, or 20 was enough.

This is the part you’ll want in six weeks. Not the number of swings. The sentence that made it click.

Weekly recap

One email a week. Sunday at 5p. To you and to me.

Monday through Sunday. The days you started, if he wanted more, and the cues. Leave your email once. We send when the week closes — not every night.
