Currently ranked

in District III 4A.
The job is not done 👊😤
Always great to catch a game with Pop. 4A Quarterfinals. An honor to talk with Coach Mussina. A true professional.
Fun fact: I saw him pitch at UC Berkeley, when he was with Stanford. My first D1 ball game at 2 months old..

@LebCoSports1
Unfortunately, today's game is filled with too many players and parents who are only concerned with THEIR individual success.
Teams full of 'Team First' players and parents are most successful..
My oldest ended his HS sports career, 12 seasons in 3 sports. Never a star, always a role player. Fiery, passionate, never complaining. Wouldn’t matter if he did something cool on field/court it would pale in comparison to what he did after his last game today…

Season ends after a 3-0 loss to Hopewell in the 1st Rd of 4A State Playoffs.
It was a clean defensive game for both sides. Hopewell was able to produce more hits which was the difference.

‘26 RHP/SS Adrian Gonzalez (Northern Lebanon) had a breakout FR campaign with two-way contributions on either side. Ultra efficient short-to-long with ability to let the hands work independent.

I've coached 40 games for teams residing in Lebanon County in 2023.
The local paper didn't come to a single game.
@LebCoSports1
was the only outlet that expressed interest in giving exposure.
Glad to see the Legion finals finally getting coverage by the local paper..
HS Athletes: if you want to be at the top.. if you want to be elite.
*Prepare for practice
If you just show up, you've already lost. Practices are where the TEAM gets better..
Preparation is where YOU get better.

Athletes: Do not be upset about the spot you didn't earn with the work you didn't put in.
Saying you want to be good means absolutely nothing.
Putting in intentional and purposeful training means everything.

Do things others aren't.
Want to stand out?

Want to become more?
Do things others aren't.
Want to take it next level?
Do things YOU don't want to.
Key word is to DO. BC if you DON'T, someone else will.
There is a reason he is heading to his 3rd State Final in as many years.. No accident.. No luck..
Consistent, particular,specific, hard work in training..

Heading to AC for a 70.3.. One and done for me this year due to several reasons..
Love competing though! So doing this has to happen 💪

@KSBombers
Treat life like a 2-0 count.. sit back, expect the fastball in the zone, and ATTACK it with your best swing!
Sometimes you'll miss or get weak contact.. but oftentimes, you will get all of it. Always be ready to go after it!
Players: If your screen time is more than your practice time... You cannot complain about your playing time.
Check your investment before you start whining about the return..
It's about Ownership!

Everything you do should be a competition to be better.
It doesn't always have to be a competition against others... It ALWAYS should be with your previous self.

I've said it before, and it will forever hold true..
Adversity reveals character.
Players: how do you act when you don't succeed?
Even more importantly is how COACHES act when faced with adversity.
Attitude reflects Leadership all day.

Loss is on the coach. No matter the reason.
Those are opportunities to see the flaws more clearly, plan to correct, then prepare for future execution.

Reasons I love HS baseball
- No instant gratification
- No hand-picking talent
- No selecting competition
-No participation trophy
You compete with what you have for weeks. You need to be consistently dominant to win over a long period of time.
One more week..

You know the byproduct of that??
WINNING.

Focus on the things that will have a major impact on a persons life.
