EPISODE 8 — “The Slump: Resilience, Faith & the Fight Back”
Welcome to Episode 8 Barrels with Breland, where we talk hitting, mindset, and everything baseball—from fundamentals to faith. I’m your host, Breland Almadova, and today we’re talking about one of the most uncomfortable but inevitable parts of baseball… the slump.”
What a Slump Really Is…
Talking Points:
• Every hitter, at every level, experiences a slump.
• A slump isn’t just a lack of hits—it’s the feeling of being lost.
• It’s physical, mental, emotional.
• You question your swing, your timing, your confidence.
• You start pressing, swinging at pitches you shouldn’t, trying to “force” results.
“A slump is not who you are as a hitter. It’s simply a season you’re walking through.” A setback for a comeback!
2 Corinthians 4:16 “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”
