“I just decided long ago to not be resistant to change, to not be adaptable. I never wanted to be the dinosaur. To not be resistant to growth. Growth is a lifelong thing and I want to reflect that,” Mike Tomlin

As an AD, I struggle to understand why some parents resist high standards for their kids. Growth doesn’t come from comfort, it comes from being pushed, being coached hard, and being held accountable.
As a dad, I hate seeing my kid disappointed. But I’d rather see him face adversity now than be unprepared later. Learning to handle failure, earn your role, and fight through challenges matters more than any short term result.
Winning matters. Not just on the scoreboard, but in learning how to prepare, compete, and respond when things don’t go your way. That’s what builds someone ready for the real world.
𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... NOBODY reminds anyone of the standards.
𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... COACHES remind the team of the standards.
𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... PLAYERS remind the team of the standards.
𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... EVERYONE reminds each other of the standards
The weight room is the most influential room in a school.
It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom.
A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

🥎 | Jordan Head and Josoff hit back-to-back RBI singles to right field. Krieser got in on the action with a two-RBI double to the same location. A four-run inning!!!
