@Savannah_w08@GreenHillHighSB@SwagginSanders@SullysHustle I couldn’t be more proud of the work you put in and the success you had. And that 4 year record is just unfathomable! 🤯 It was a joy watching you grow! Thank you for taking me along for a part of it. 💚
I signed to UCLA my junior year of high school and was told I was going to start Day 1.
Opening Day at UCLA?
I was sitting the bench. 😭
I had 2 choices:
1. Complain, pout, and blame the coaches
OR
2. Find the holes on the team and become valuable.
So for 3 weeks, I sat the bench.
I showed up early.
Stayed late.
Cheered for my teammates.
Dragged the field every 3rd inning.
Meanwhile, I studied the team.
The middle infielders were doing well.
Third base wasn’t.
So I told the coaches:
“I can play third.”
Then I noticed something else:
Offensively, we were either hitting home runs or getting out.
I saw the gap.
If I could become a tough out, get on base, and bring energy to the team…
I could create value.
Then we played Miami.
The starting third baseman was hitting .115.
They gave me a shot.
I went 2 for 3 with a walk.
Played solid defense.
Brought energy.
I never sat the bench again.
Eventually, I became team captain…
and we were ranked #1 in the country.
One thing baseball taught me:
Opportunities don’t always go to the most talented player.
Sometimes they go to the player who becomes the most valuable.
Some coaches only care about what you can do for them. Great coaches genuinely care about your well-being. They treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve as a person.
Cool moment before the OU game. The kid who sang the national anthem started crying and couldn’t finish, the OU crowd helped him through it, and Coach Patty Gasso and the team were there to encourage him after. #Sooners
