You need to care about your team’s mission and you need to truly care about your teammates. And you need to commit to your specific role on the team.
Good luck to the @ElonMBasketball tonight as they look to start their season 3-0!
There are so many aspects of baseball that translate to future success. It’s not about working hard a few days a week. It’s about setting goals and working hard EVERY day from baseball, the classroom, and the gym. Thank you to @Vol_Baseball for taking the time with the Blast!
Lots to look back on from the 2019 MLB season:
-@JMeans25 named WVU's first All-Star
-@Alek_Manoah47 drafted 11th overall
-Program-record 8⃣ Mountaineers drafted

A great year for our guys!

Make it part of your program’s culture to prepare your athletes for future success by providing them with a solid foundation of what it means to put the team first. Players will come and go, but that foundation will always be there. Don’t sacrifice “winning” for “wins”.
Make accountability a foundation of your culture. Always keep your standards as high as possible. Coaches —> Coaches, Coaches —> Players, Players—> Players, Players —>Themselves. Parents: please allow this to take place. #stopmakingexcuses#begreatnotaverage#nextlevel
@Alek_Manoah47 @CoachMazey The team that came down to watch you at University of Maryland are the 10 year old WV Little League State Champs! On the the Tournament of State Champions in Greenville, NC. Open up against Florida on Saturday.
Great finish to a great tournament! Potomac Blast took home the the Championship. Great work at plate this weekend. We outscored our opponents 49-1 and had 9 HR as a team. Serf Guerra led the way with 4. Thanks @Blast_Bsbl. #trainsmarter#winterworkpaysoff
First tournament of the year for the Potomac Blast 10U. Secured #1 seed going into the elimination rounds. Outscored opponents 29-0 w/ 4 HR. Took two 10U kids and entered 10U and 11U HR Derby. Walked away with two champs. @Blast_Bsbl #notacoincidence#trainsmarter#notdoneyet

Holding someone accountable is not something you do TO them; it’s something you do FOR them. Holding someone is accountable is a form of love; it shows them you truly care because you hold them to a high standard of excellence. Accountability is the foundation of a winning team.
So many people waste time focusing on the things that are out of their control. Take great pride in being able to overcome that moment of adversity and bounce back even stronger. This mentality doesn’t come easy and it’s something you need to practice every single day.#thriveonit

🔑 Focusing on the things that are within your control is a principle to live by. It’s not just a quote or something to think when things go wrong. It’s a lifestyle.
