@WarriorsCHS @CHSBaseWarriors both goals can coexist in the correct order. Becoming a champion in life is priority 1.

@CHSBaseWarriors @WarriorsCHS most important list you can ever read. Drill down and digest all the post in the thread and you’ll learn this is just one Coachs opinion.

[Coach Gunnar Hayes @CoachGunHayes]

I asked Division I coaches:

"What non-physical characteristics do you look for in recruits to ensure they'll be a good cultural fit for your program?"

Despite representing different schools and conferences, their answers were remarkably similar.

@CHSBaseWarriors #teework mindset

[Jermaine Curtis @JermaineCurtis]

This player flew in from Alabama today.

And we spent most of the session on a tee.

Not because he couldn't hit.
Not because we didn't have front toss.
Not because we didn't have BP.

Because the tee tells the truth.

The baseball doesn't move.

The tee doesn't move.

Which means every result belongs to you.

If you roll over it...

that's you.

If you hit under it...

that's you.

If you drive a line drive into the gap...

that's you too.

One thing I've learned coaching hitters:

Most players use the tee to warm up.

I use the tee to build a swing.

Because when the baseball isn't moving, there's nowhere to hide.

You either delivered the barrel correctly...

or you didn't.

That's why we spent most of today's lesson on the tee.

Not chasing results.

Building a swing we can trust.

Thank you for reading,
Jermaine Curtis

[Kevin Burrell @KevinBurrellMLB]

Being a Major League Baseball scout the past 35 years, I’ve narrowed down three important characteristics when considering a prospect to draft.

Not perfection!..but consistency.

1) Character: Determines who you are and how people trust you when nobody is watching.

2) Chemistry: Determines if you’re a great teammate, and if people want to build with you. Do you add value to the locker room.
Do I win with the “nine best” players or the “best nine” players?

3) Competency: Determines whether you have the talent and skill level to deliver the results to win a championship.

You can fake one for a while.

You cannot fake all three for long.

• Character — Who You Are

Your character is your real reputation. It’s who you are at the core.

Not your image.

Not your branding.

Your habits under pressure.

Talent can open a door. Character keeps you in the room.

Weak character destroys strong opportunities.

Discipline matters more than motivation because motivation changes daily.

Integrity is expensive — that’s why so few people have it.

Your private decisions eventually become your public reality.

The fastest way to lose respect is to compromise your values for short-term gain or comfort.

Successful people are trusted because they are consistent, not because they are perfect. Don’t miss that!

If your words and actions don’t match, your future will eventually collapse.

• Chemistry — Are You a Good Teammate?

Nobody becomes great alone.

Your ability to work with people multiplies opportunities.

Poor chemistry destroys a locker room culture.

People don’t just hire skill — they hire energy and coach-ability.

A toxic player eventually becomes a liability.

Humility makes collaboration possible.

Ego kills more careers than lack of talent.

The people who rise fastest are usually the ones others trust in hard moments.

Great teammates make everyone around them better. They are winners!

Listening is more powerful than constantly proving you’re smart.

If people feel smaller after talking to you, you will lose immediate influence.

• Competency — Are You Actually Skilled?

Confidence without competence is noise.

Results matter.

Work ethic without skill eventually hits a ceiling.

Being busy is not the same as being valuable.

Excuses never outperform preparation.

Average skills with consistency beats raw talent with laziness.

Organizations respect execution.

The higher you rise, the more competence becomes non-negotiable.

At the end of the day, competence matters.

Summation:

Your future is connected to the value you consistently create.

Character earns trust.
Chemistry builds relationships.
Competency creates results.

When all three align:

People respect you.
People enjoy working with you.
People can depend on you.

That combination is rare — and rare people become unforgettable.

Special talent & outstanding makeup.

@CHSBaseWarriors 2x per week should easily fit into your schedule if it is important to you!

[Aaron Cunningham 🇺🇸 @HPBAac]

If you can’t lift 5-6x per week AND play 3-4 games per week…

You aren’t ready for college baseball.

This is your reality at that level. If that is too much for you, join a frat.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Grit is not the absence of fear.
It's the acknowledgement of it and having the willingness to still act.
It's being uncertain of an outcome, but remaining dedicated to it.
It's allowing the potential for failure in order to achieve success.

[386toCenter @386toCenter]

Baseball TRUTH for sure! @CHSBaseWarriors

[Troy Silva @TroyPSilva]

The best coaches aren’t the ones that have the most talented players, they are the ones that can maximize the potential talent of the players they have…
AND teach the intricacies of the game that often go unnoticed, but play a huge role in teaching the players how to WIN.

Highschool athletes will call their coach “Coach” until he or she dies. It’s a respect thing…

[386toCenter @386toCenter]

As @CHSBaseWarriors know. “Out of respect to those who come after you please leave it better than you found it.” This kid has OUTSTANDING parents!

[𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 @DKH013]

This is not just about cleanliness it reflects a difference in upbringing and awareness.

While adults left their water bottles scattered everywhere, a 3-year-old child picked up over 20 bottles and showed that good manners are not age-dependent.

[386toCenter @386toCenter]

@CHSBaseWarriors glad to say we understand this.

[KsRecruitingTalk @Keith_Scott05]

HS Athletes: Practicing these habits on your HS campus will make you a leader there and have you ready for any college campus:
•Being on time for class.
•Paying attention in class.
•Being respectful to others.
•Finishing your assignments on time.

The fact that this behavior has infiltrated the “purity” of LL signals the beginning of the end of “for the love of the game.” It’s all about sherbet colors and sprinkles, sliding mitts and Social media post for 5U Nationally Ranked players.
