The ARC Podcast Episode 53 - Gearing Up for the 2026 Season

In this episode of the ARC Podcast, Brandon and Matt dive into one of the most important stretches of the year for college and high school baseball players: preseason preparation. This time of year isn’t about reinventing who you are once practice starts. It’s about sharpening your strengths, committing to your process, and stacking quality days before the season begins. The preseason is where confidence is built, identities are reinforced, and real development takes place. Brandon and Matt break down why preseason should be viewed as progress over perfection, the dangers of trying to change too much once team practices begin, and how coaches blend individual offseason work into a unified team identity. They also discuss why focusing on today’s process matters more than future win totals, why now is the best time to fail and adjust, and how tools like checklists, reflection, and journaling can help track meaningful improvement. The conversation also highlights why this window is especially critical for high school athletes, how to cut through social media noise, and the importance of committing to one trusted process. Throughout the episode, they return to the most important training question every athlete should be asking: why am I doing this? Whether you’re a player grinding through preseason, a coach building buy-in, or a high school athlete preparing for the season ahead, this episode is designed to help you prepare with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
