10 Things I would tell myself as a young player:

1. The work you put in away from your team is where real growth happens. Take your personal development into our own hands. Stop waiting for others to help you.

2. The game will be hard on your body. Take care of it.

3. Accountability will be one of your biggest weaknesses. Get better at it ASAP!

4. Everyday you play catch you are a pitcher. Even if you're not slated to pitch that day, while you play catch, be a pitcher. Work on your throwing mechanics, throw your off speed pitches and hit spots on your partner.

5. GET STRONGER!!

6. Be a student of the game. When you watch the game on TV, watch it more like a student than a fan. Watch how they move their bodies. How they move around the field. Read up on mental toughness. Seek out those with more experience and ask questions.

7. You're a pitcher. Just because you threw a pitch, you're job is not over. The only time you should find yourself still standing on the mound after a hit ball is if there is no one on base and a GB is hit to your 3B or SS. Any other time you are either moving towards 1B to cover if needed or backing up a base somewhere. Stop spectating!

8. You will have some great coaches in your life and some who have no business being in that position. But you can learn something from all of them, even if that means learning how you DON'T want to be as a coach someday.

9. Playing with and through discomfort is part of it. You shouldn't have to feel 💯 to give 💯. You better develop some toughness in that area if you want to last.

10. Someday you will play in your final game. Be grateful for what the game gave you. Respect the game. Remember as much as you can. Enjoy your teammates and when you're ready, give back as much as you can.

Great view of prep step being on time & in sync

- Expect the ball every pitch
- As fast as you can > As fast as you can’t
- Controlled speed & Accurate Feeds > Reckless & Out of Control

Great reminder of how fast it happens. Do you practice at this speed?

You get up early...He sleeps in.
You hit and field 100’s of reps with intent...He takes some hacks off a tee and thinks he’s working hard.
You focus on eliminating weaknesses...He ignores his.
You get your needed rest...He stays up all night playing video games.
You arrive to practice 30 min early...He shows up 2 min late.
You put your heart into preparation...He does enough to get by.
You dream of success...He fears failure.
You want it bad...He does not…and it shows.
You Win...He loses.
Your a Champion...He is not.
You leave a legacy...His life is filled with regrets.
Are YOU willing to pay the price?

Infielders in sync as pitch is approaching contact zone. Low hop & landing before contact to create momentum. Notice the balanced athletic landing with knees & elbows bent & thumbs pointing up.(Gun slinger position)

Dear Players,

Every time you skip a workout.
Every time you take a shortcut.
Every time you make an excuse.
Every time you blame a teammate.
Every time you bring a bad attitude.
Every time you waste an opportunity.
You make it easier to beat you.

Sincerely,
Your Competition

Self-talk is one of the most important mental skills. The way you talk to yourself greatly affects your motivation, confidence, resilience, and mental health. The better your self-talk, the happier and more successful you’ll be!

Super super proud of CG tonight! Girls are going to state and the boys played their tails off against a fantastic Elyria team. What an incredible night of basketball! Looking forward to having our guys back on the diamond to chase a ring this spring. Good luck to our Elyria guys!

Things people tweeted @ me yesterday
1. if a coach calls a bunt they are “suppressing that players career.”
2. “Pitchers rarely if ever make errors on bunts.”
3. “Bunting isn’t fun.”
4. “Don’t bunt if you want a high OBP.”

This video proves different

In the coming weeks, put your ego aside & put all your effort on being 100% unselfish for the TEAM. It’s time to focus on “we”, not “me”. Helping your team earn a championship is more impressive than putting up a lot of individual stats. A championship banner will hang forever!

When you disrespect a teammate, treat them poorly, or talk behind their back, you are hurting your team. Even if you dislike your teammates, you need to set aside your differences and try your best to get along with them for the sake of the team.

When you see other people succeed, you can either be jealous and try to tear them down, or you can be inspired and try to lift yourself up.
