So happy for our

players, but I HAVE to take a minute to address Brenden Walsh. After 8 TDs in 2 games he ended football on a stretcher, came back to baseball & tore his UCL, played through it! College coaches, THIS KID IS A COLLEGE PLAYER. Please Call/message me!

Dear Baseball Gods, Now that we are officially at the midway point of the regular, would it be too much to ask for a 60 degree day or two, maybe a day without whipping wind, or even just some consistent sun? Any or all three would be much appreciated!

As summer ball comes to an end, I hope parents & coaches are promoting simply being a kid to their athletes. It’s ok to take some time away from the game & just be a kid enjoying what’s left of summer. Go to the beach, go fishing, hang with friends & family. THAT’S normal!

Little man has practice at 11am, at 7:30, he was in full uniform, arm sleeve on, shades on top of his hat, batting gloves on, bat bag leaning against the front door. Players & coaches need to invest in how they instill that boyhood excitement as far into their career as possible.

One man’s opinion… As a coach if you are not investing in your guys both on and off the field, and then STAYING invested in them after they graduate from your team, you are doing a huge disservice to both yourself and your players. It’s bigger than baseball!

Considering the impact a coach can have on a young man or woman, & level of scrutiny they are all under; we should invest more in coaching the coaches. Maybe it’s as simple as high school varsity coaches needing to complete X hours of coaching clinics within their communities.

In our program we constantly talk about “noise”. If you’re successful, there will be a lot of noise, & that’s a privilege. However, there is absolutely an associated pressure w/ that uncontrollable noise. Combat it by eliminating all controllable internal noise. All go, no show!

Good life lesson to young ball players with the whole rocking the baby nonsense. Some players and teams know how to win while others don’t. Don’t be the guy that wakes a sleeping giant through your words or actions, and even worse puts the target on your teammates.
