As a freshman in college, a History prof failed me on the final for writing “your” when it should have been “you’re.” I thought it was unfair, especially since it was History.
16 years later, I make sure I get this right. Sometimes harsh consequences can Be our best teachers.

While streaming the
@Jessup_BASE
game yesterday, I watched an elderly man struggle to get down the stadium stairs. Out of nowhere, redshirt pitcher Jared Tippit got up, physically assisted the man (a total stranger), and then guided him to his next stop.
Awesome kid & program

Growth happens when we are uncomfortable.
True. So many say it and it’s easy to say. But let’s not forget that being uncomfortable usually sucks. It can be brutal. It’s not for most.
The path to greatness or mastery is usually reserved for those that can power through the suck.

Hitter vs. pitcher is one of the greatest forms of competition ever. It requires speed, power, & precision. But also requires one to make good decisions in a fraction of a second, and then maturity to manage 15 seconds of downtime. It's golf meets Nascar. The well rounded survive

My first day as a college coach, our skipper told me that time flies even faster as a coach than it does as a player. I was skeptical.
Blink...12 years later, he was right. Coaching athletes is sweet. Don’t let the bad days fool you into thinking otherwise.

Odds are, many athletes are living in their glory days this very moment...the days they will cherish down the road. Sadly, too few realize this and let non-controllable things taint these days

Victory typically elevates joy and confidence, while defeat can lead to devastation and unease. Everyone goes through both, many times in streaks.
The best overcome both. The victories don’t go to their heads...but neither do the defeats.

I’m convinced winning doesn’t lead to long term happiness. Being part of a hardworking group that has great teammates/friendships is what actually sticks for the long haul.

With baseball/softball seasons getting underway, it’s important to realize that winning teams & losing teams will all start with similar goals...but the goals can’t be shared.

Video games facilitate skill acquisition in fun & unpredictable environments. Players strategize on the fly and must learn to be adaptable. They are ranked vs. others and they are provided regular feedback. Many require teamwork.

I've coached some very successful players that use self-correction cues I disagree with; but who am I to tell them their cue is wrong? Learning to keep my mouth shut and just allow them to them make their own adjustments is a skill I wish I had when when I was younger.

IMO most important “skill” in baseball is adjustability.
You can’t expect an athlete to be able to adjust on his own in GAME if you as a coach constantly keep making the adjustment in PRACTICE for him. The ability to adjust or “figure it out” for yourself is important 👇👇👇
