Donโt care what level of baseball/softball you playโฆ
The same things win that have always won:
โขGetting ahead in the count
โขNo hard-hit 0-2/1-2 pitches
โขMaking routine defensive plays
โขWinning in Energy
โขExecuting your offense
Winners win.
Show up on purpose.
Yโallโฆ
Not only did we sign 5 studs todayโฆ
Not only did we get a big commitment last nightโฆ
We got another BIG TIME commitment this morning!
FIRE. ME. UP.

I need to brag on this group.
Really pleased with our first 4 practices. Energy, effort, enthusiasm, & growth mindset have been there. As a coach, thatโs all I can ask.
A lot of work ahead but excited to see what the Spring holds for Team 25! ๐
These wins definitely have more to do with great players and great staff than me! So many people deserve credit for this! Iโve been very fortunate to have the best around me!

Coaches: Donโt be hard on players without building a relationship with them first. Love your athletes equally as hard as you push them. Constantly challenge and motivate players but donโt disrespect them and never make it personal.
Condemn the action, not the athlete:
โThat isโฆ
