First Scrimmage game of the season !!!

[Patrick Jones @pjonesbaseball]

I had a conversation with a Power 4 college coach who’s been doing this for 25+ years.

We were talking about the mentality of high school players during the recruiting process.

Here’s what he told me:

“What these kids don’t realize is…

I don’t care how many followers you have.
I don’t care how many home runs you hit in travel ball.
I don’t care how many offers you have.
I don’t care about your ranking.
I don’t care how hard you can hit a ball.
I don’t care about your metrics.

The only thing I care about is this:

Are you going to produce in between those white lines when we play this season?”

Then he said something else that hit:

“They’ve been so protected that the first time they fail, they quit… or they transfer.”

And here’s the part that matters.

The biggest development mistake I see?

Players don’t plan for failure.

They plan for success.
They visualize success.
They expect success.

But they don’t prepare for 0-4.
They don’t prepare for getting booed.
They don’t prepare for sitting the bench.
They don’t prepare for struggling for 3 weeks.

So when it happens — and it will — they panic.

Instead of executing a pre-made plan, they try to create one while emotional.

That never works.

Failure is coming.

The question is:
Did you already decide how you’re going to handle it?

I had the BEST time this weekend at the Unity Lab!! I learned from some of the best and got to do it with some of my teammates ! I’m so exited to use the feedback into upcoming practices and games.

Thank you to @AshVanBoxmeer4 for the feedback on my pitching and @UnityCoachJosh with the help on my swing. Also a big thank you to patience the mental strength coach for helping us realize we are more than just a sport and our mental game is so important.

So grateful to be apart of an organization like this. 💜🙌🧡

That’s a wrap on Fall 2025 with @FuryPlatinum16Peyton 🖤 Jumping into 16U early pushed me in the best way. Played amazing teams, learned a ton, and had so much fun while doing so.

AVG .418 | OBP .476 | OPS 1.385 | SLG .909 | 23 H | 8 1B | 9 2B | 6 HR | 21 RBI

Big love to my Fury fam, my coaches- @TeriMorg @CoachpeytonSB @CoachMorgan401 @heberta5785 , my teammates, and my parents for everything!!

Excited for my first year of high school softball @ChswSoftball @MaxPreps and the summer with my team 🖤🤍.
