I wish more coaches understood this quote.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Nobody remembers the best 12-year-old player.

They remember who’s still standing at 22.

That’s development.

Different mindset. 💪⚾️

First outing of the year with some big SO’s!

[Aaron Cunningham 🇺🇸 @HPBAac]

Paul Skenes is the best RHP on the planet right now...he gives up 2 earned runs for every 9 innings he pitches.

Stop expecting that you'll be perfect on the mound. Compete, and give your team a chance to win every game you pitch. Sometimes that looks like shutout baseball, and sometimes that's giving up 4 runs in 5 innings.

At the end of the day, as coaches we want to give the ball to guys who compete. Coaches love to know what they're getting when they give a kid the ball to pitch. Be that guy.

💬 Real Talk

I missed my senior prom for a softball tournament.
Yep — the dress, the pictures, the limo, the whole experience.

At the time, some people didn’t get it.
They thought I was “missing out.”
But what they didn’t see were the early morning lifts, the road-trip weekends, the countless reps when everyone else was out.

And on my travel team, if you missed a practice or game without an excused absence that the coach approved, you didn’t play.
Not the next game. Not until he decided you’d earned it back.
That’s how high the standard was — and it wasn’t worth taking a step back.

That kind of discipline — the “no-prom, no-excuses, I-have-goals” kind — is what it takes to play at the level I did in college.
It’s sacrifice. It’s accountability. It’s choosing the long-term dream over the short-term fun.

Because the truth is, you can’t want D1 results with part-time effort.
Every choice matters. Every weekend matters. Every “no” to something else gets you closer to your “yes” moment.

So if you’re in the middle of it right now — tired, busy, missing things your friends get to do —
just know: it’s worth it.
You’re building something bigger.

Looking back on it.. I made the right choice!

As a Mom of an athletic son who played sports his whole life, teach them sportsmanship. We need more of this in the world. 🔥

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Players
If you're a 2026, and want to play junior college baseball, but haven't been offered or committed yet.
It's early, real early for juco recruiting.
Keep working.
The overwhelming majority of 2026's that will be on a juco roster next fall, haven't been offered or committed yet.
Be patient.
Pound the weights, play as much as possible, have a great fall, high school and summer season.
Keep grinding.
Keep working.
Believe in yourself.
