It’s not just any Monday, as today kicks off the 2015 MLB Draft, which is always a big event in the Cressey Sports Performance world. To that end, I thought I’d use this installment to highlight a few old posts I’ve made on the subject. There are some good lessons on perseverance and long-term athletic development in these articles.

6 Key Qualities for Long-Term Athletic Development – This was my 2014 post-draft feature, where I discuss key characteristics of successful players.

MLB Draft Thoughts: Talking vs. Doing – This was the 2013 post-draft feature, which highlights that actions speak louder than words.

Draft Q&A with Eric Cressey: Part 1 and Part 2 – This two-part article was actually an interview of me for Baseball America prior to last year’s MLB Draft. I think it delves into a lot of important topics for up-and-coming players as well as coaches and parents.

Enjoy the draft!
