Lets see. 35 runs. 36 hits. Three hours and 45 minutes. One player hit for cycle. And it's only Game One of the @acccathletics Division I Baseball Tournament. Buckle up and let's go.
“Anybody that's gonna push you loves you more than anybody that's gonna let you stay the same."
"When we coach you, when we love you up…that's not me personally attacking you. That's trying to help our team be better. That's trying to help you be better.”

Monte Lee explains the "Hunt N Shrink" offensive approach the Gamecocks used to get to elite Texas starter Ruger Riojas in a 9-1 win against the No. 2 Longhorns.
Everybody wants discipline… until discipline gets loud. Everybody wants toughness… until toughness gets uncomfortable.
Hard coaching isn’t abuse. Hard coaching is correction. Hard coaching is standards. Hard coaching is loving a kid enough not to let him stay average.
If a coach is demanding effort, detail, toughness, and accountability bothers you… that probably says more about today’s culture than it does the coach.
Rick Pitino was asked what stops people from being great. His answer was one word.
"Ego stops greatness. I call it edging greatness out."
"In a spiritual sense, ego is edging God out. But ego is edging greatness out."
And he made a key distinction:
"I'm not talking about confidence. You have to be a confident person."
"But ego really gets you to where you think you've arrived. You think you know it all. You stop learning. You stop listening."
That's the trap. Confidence keeps you hungry. Ego convinces you that you've already made it.
You lose your hunger and humility.
"Learning and listening are important for great leaders. Great leaders have to listen and they have to continue to learn and surround themselves with people that are better than them."
EGO = Edging Greatness Out
The moment you think you've arrived is the moment you stop growing.
Stay confident. Stay humble. Never stop learning.
