The economy doesn't suck.
Social media doesn't suck.
Your spouse doesn't suck.
Other people don't suck.
Your boss doesn't suck.
Parenting doesn't suck.
Your job doesn't suck.
School doesn't suck.
Traffic doesn't suck.
There's one thing that sucks if you always feel this way.....
YOUR MINDSET & habits.
Good news, you're only stuck if you choose to be.
You donโt rise to your goalsโฆyou fall to the level of your identity. If you want better performanceโyou need a stronger identity. ๐ฅ Create yours: โข Start with your values โข Define who you are (present tense) โข Focus on traits, not outcomes โข Repeat it daily Your identity =
DUAL-THREAT DESTROYER ๐จ๐๐จ
BRYIS ALFORD, 6'0, 185, QB/ATH, Baldwin, '27, a dangerous dual-threat gunslinger coming off a season when he completed 79 of 135 passes for 1,320 yards, completing 60% & had a state-leading TD Pass-to-Interception ratio of 18:1; he also rushed for 566 yards, averaging 7+ yards per carry to give him 1,886 APYs and 26 TDs; he can rifle the ball into tight windows from the pocket & throws well on the move; off the RPO he is quick with good burst & elusiveness. Get your popcorn handy, he's gonna put on a show this fall. Keep grindin' my man ๐ @bryisalford3

#BaseballTruth
Teams that donโt strike out at a high clip win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level โ and even more at the high school level and below.
Once you get to two strikes, it becomes a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke up, shorten up, widen out, move closer to the plate โ whatever helps you execute your two-strike approach. Some call it their โB swing.โ
Make the pitcher work.
We preach โlook fastball away and adjust,โ but there are plenty of effective two-strike approaches. You have to experiment and find what fits your swing and mindset best.
A quality two-strike approach often leads to hard-hit balls. But even when it doesnโt, the defense still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. Thatโs pressure.
A lot tougher to defend than a right turn back to the dugout.

Stop assuming they know.
Teach everything.
How to warm up.
How to compete.
How to win.
How to lose.
How to be a great teammate.
The best coaches simplify and teach.
Nobody else will.
Loved getting to celebrate @Coach_Bach yesterday as a nominee for the Region 2 Kansas Teacher of the Year! Super proud to call him ours! Well deserved! @usd348@BHSBulletin348

Driven by a reliable defensive core and a pair of frontline arms, Baldwin looks to find creative ways to manufacture runs as they transition into a new offensive era.
