June. Eating tacos with a younger coach I was mentoring.
He pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through a workout list he'd been building.
"I've been thinking about this summer. What if we do two tempo days in the first block? Then add intervals in week six or seven?"
I took a bite.
"What made you start there?"
"What do you mean?"
"What's the question you asked BEFORE you decided what workouts to put in?"
He set his phone down. Didn't have an answer.
Because the first question isn't what workouts do we run.
It's what are we building toward.
Then how much time do we have.
Then what needs to be true by week eight for week twelve to work.
The workout is the answer to about the seventh question.
Coaches who start with workouts aren't wrong.
They're just starting at the end of the conversation.
The ones who get to October and can't figure out why the pieces stopped connecting?
They started here too.

An all-time Campo great who’s earned every bit of his accomplishments! Thankful @AZBCA2020 & the 5A coaches recognized what he’s done the last two years! So proud of Ezekiel & glad we can say he’s a part of the #CVFamily!
Campo is proud to welcome our new principal, Mrs. Erica Helfrey! We are excited for the leadership, passion, and vision she brings to Campo Verde. The future is bright, and we can’t wait to continue growing together as a community. #TheCampoWay#CVFamily 💚🧡
Couldn’t be happier for @CampoVBaseball & @WilSchommer for the success they had in the regular season earning a top 8 seed! Proud of you guys & excited for the playoff run to begin! #TheCampoWay
Best HS hitter I’ve been lucky enough to coach. Better teammate & as coachable as any athlete I’ve been around.
@SoMtnBaseball is getting an absolute DUDE! There’s going to be a lot of people wondering how they didn’t project Zeke to be great at the next level.

Continues the strong senior szn tonight with a couple barrels including a 2B to dead center to break the game open. Simple operation in the box and is always on time. #beseen

High school baseball is different.
More pressure.
More on the line.
You’re playing for your school.
Your teammates.
Your community.
No re-dos.
No picking a new team next weekend.
Every game matters.
Different game. Different stakes.
"We're not curing cancer here we're talking about hitting a line drive up the middle with a man on second base and two outs"
Jay Johnson says his team needs to be more mentally mature to be successful moving forward.
Clearly a huge emphasis on driving guys in as well.

‘26 OF Ezekiel Zion (Campo Verde)
Have a day Zeke Zion ‼️
3-4, 2R, 3RBI, HR + a clutch OF assist to gun down a runner at third, and an impressive diving play ranging back in deep center to keep the momentum on Campo’s side throughout.
Simple, direct path with present bat speed. Batting .5️⃣7️⃣4️⃣ on the year. #beseen
