CATCHERS TAKE CENTER STAGE After many requests over the past They include the following:
couple years, we at the Texas Baseball Ranch are excited to announce the creation of the Elite Catchers Boot Camp. This inaugural event will be held Dec. 14–15, 2019.
GREG BROWN , head coach at Nova Southeastern University, has been called the “dean” of catching instructors in America, coaching the last two Rawlings Gold Glove recipients at catcher — including Garrett Wolforth! JERRY WEINSTEIN , one of the game’s most respected coaches, has over 35 years of experience at the college and pro levels. A member of the ABCA Hall of Fame, he’s the author of “The Complete Handbook of Coaching Catchers.” TIM COSSINS , catching instructor for the Baltimore Orioles, will offer wisdom from his 17 years of coaching experience. EDDY RODRIGUEZ , catching coordinator for the LA Angels, was a former pro catcher himself with the San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays organizations. Plus, we have our special pro instructor, the previously mentioned GARRETT WOLFORTH . He’s been exposed to our throwing secrets at the Texas Baseball Ranch for his entire life and was drafted as a catcher this past June by the Cincinnati Reds. If you are a young catcher, age 14 and up, you don’t want to miss this event. Learn more and register by going to TexasBaseballRanch. com/catcher or call the office at (936) 588-6762. Save $500 if you register by Sept. 30, 2019.

PERFECT PAIRINGS
Ingredients for Better Body Balance
sauces, cilantro, and radishes. Peas and quinoa is another pairing that completes the essential amino acid profile, and the two work well together in a salad or scramble. CHERRIES AND SPIRULINA You may not always think about your blood health, but you should because your blood distributes crucial nutrients throughout your body and floods toxins out. Iron, folic acid, vitamin B-12, and protein are the building blocks for better blood. You can find these nutrients in dark red foods, such as cherries, raspberries, beets, and kidney beans, and in dark green foods, like spinach, spirulina, and wheatgrass. Holistic nutritionist Sarah Britton, author of “My New Roots: Inspired Plant- Based Recipes,” suggests starting the day with a refreshing smoothie made with some of these foods.
We seek balance through many methods, like morning yoga poses and guided meditations before bed. But another important part of a balanced, holistic lifestyle is diet. When your body is missing nutrients, you suffer from all kinds of physical and mental ailments. Based on a holistic nutrition perspective, here are some foods you can pair together to promote better body balance from the inside out. CITRUS FRUITS AND DARK, LEAFY GREENS The vitamin C in citrus fruits helps your body absorb the iron in kale, spinach, and other leafy greens. Unlike the iron found in animal proteins, the iron in leafy vegetables isn’t as easy to absorb. Get the most out of those greens by tossing your spinach salad with a lemon vinaigrette or brush some lemon or orange juice onto your grilled kale. BEANS AND RICE This simple staple meal for many Latin American families is prevalent for a reason. Together, beans and rice make a nutritious and protein-packed meal to fuel your body. Keep this dish interesting by creating new combinations with avocado, zesty
These ingredient combinations bring out the best in each other, so your body can function at its best. Pair them together and enjoy!
