Forever grateful for what this group has accomplished this year! Spent the last 7 weeks on the road and won the 1st game in a conference tourney in the last 17yrs. We have grown together and truly formed a FAMILY. No one else could have done what these kids have done!
Thank you!

It doesn't matter what is going on in your life at this moment. I'm always blessed to be able to put on that jersey again for the 1st time, throw, BP, hit I/O, run to the 3rd base box, and coach a group of great kids!
Let those 1st game jitters begin!

I can't say enough about these guys. They believed in me as a leader and I love them all like they were my own. I will miss them on the field.......but they will always be part of my family.
They have done so many things everyone else said they couldn't.

It's so sad to see Athletic fields not taken care of at the collegiate level....does the school have some responsibility??? Sure.....but does the coach have more???? YES!
Maybe I'm just different, but our place looks the way it does because "I" care!
Won't hurt to sweat a lil!

An estimated 80-90 Student-Athletes from USW and more from the Hobbs community taking part in the COVID19 vaccine clinic held here on the campus of USW. Today has been a huge success in my opinion to help with the surge! Just trying to do our part

Hey club ball coaches......your
#1
job is to get your kids exposure. If a college coach asks to see something and you ignore that fact, you are just proving that your just money hungry and have no interest in helping kids.
These kids spend money hoping to earn scholarships!

In order to play for me you have to care about the "little things"!
Yes, I care about showing up to weights and class!
Yes, I care about picking up a rake!
Yes, I care about helping out a teammate!
Yes, I care about showing up to practice early and getting extra reps in!

Thanks to everyone who has reached out. Not many know the history of where I have been or the programs I have taken over, but I couldn't of gotten here without the kids and coaches who trusted in the process and believed in the vision!
⚾️: The win in Game 2 was the 200th career victory for Head Coach Steve Appel. Congratulations to Coach Appel!

OPTIONAL weights, OPTIONAL hitting, OPTIONAL anything will always be a coaches TEST!
Those who dont go cant get mad at the end result nor can they complain when things dont go as they planned.
Again, its only OPTIONAL if you yourself want to get better!

Instead or playing time, parents should be more worried about their son or daughter losing thousands of their hard earned dollars by failing courses in college.
College is too easy now and it's all about effort. Funny how that usually translates to the field. 🤔

There are so many beautiful things that come from a new day! The first is we get to wake and breathe the fresh air once again!
The next is we get to live from what we learned yesterday and not only improve ourselves, but inspire the people next to us!

Playing Time isnt "Personal". Playing Time is all about "Production". There of course are exceptions, but if you cant show it in practice, it's really hard to believe it will happen in games.
Dont be a "I'm just not a practice type of guy".

Today is just another day to try and be better than yesterday!
If you weren't successful yesterday, be better today!
If you WERE successful, you still have to try and be better today!

Sometimes making the travel roster is the difference between picking up a rake and not picking up a rake!
Do those little things and work! Making the travel roster at ANY level sometimes depends on all those stupid little things that you don't think MATTER!

I didnt have a chance to say this to everyone, but I want to personally thank all our fans that made the trip to Glendale to watch our kids play. Although not the results we wanted, we will continue to work and learn from this weekend to better ourselves down the road!

Are you ready to tackle the day? Or..... are you whining to yourself already that it will be a long day??
You choose to get better or just be average. The world is full of just average people.
