Bringing energy doesn’t mean hooting and hollering from the dugout. Bringing energy means being intense from the second you show up for pregame til the game is over. Every rep. Every round of BP. Every pitch. No matter the score.
You have to commit yourself to that mindset.
NICK SABAN LEGENDARY SPEECH.
“Want to be happy for a day - play golf. Want to be happy for a week - buy a car. Want to be happy for a month - get a dog. Want to be happy in life - ask yourself this: “If i didn’t show up today, would anyone miss me?”
It’s not skill that separates people.
It’s energy.
Most people just get tired. Tired of wins, tired of losses, tired from struggling, tired from growing.
But “winners” build their energy capacity. They develop an endurance for a a crazy pace that others can’t keep up with.
As a high school baseball coach, parents I ask you to teach your kids to
-Say yes sir no sir, yes ma’am no ma’am
-Say Please and Thank You
-Speak in complete sentences.
-Pick Up Trash
-Look at someone when they are talking to you
-Don’t lie
-Respect Authority
-Accept Accountability
-Realize actions good and bad have consequences
If you do this as a parent, I will be able to teach them how to play baseball.
If you don’t, I have to teach them how to be a man first before teaching them baseball.
HS players let’s take note of this…
You want to be able to play at the next level not only does your game need to improve so does your physicality. 5’9” 160lbs doesn’t cut it.
If your 16 YO athlete isn’t willing to wake up 15-min earlier to make their own breakfast they really don’t care about getting stronger or improving as an athlete.
You can’t earn that D1 scholarship with an attitude consistent with Intramural sports.
Seriously, if you have a student athlete under your roof who has a phone, spends > 4 hours/day social media, goes to specialized training, plays multiple sports that you spend thousands of dollars on annually they should absolutely be able to prioritize their nutrition and sleep.
Don’t be your kid’s friend, be their parent. Encourage them to pack snacks, build a routine that is centered around supporting the life they want to live.
Kids need routine, structure, discipline, and guidance. They will be glad they had a parent who encouraged them to eat well and recover smart.
There’s a lot of hard working athletes out there hungry to get better and will easily outperform those who have poor habits. Poor habits like staying up late, on phones for hours a day, skipping meals, drinking energy drinks, eating candy and chips as meals, and flat out showing up to training under-fueled giving 50% effort.
If you want your kid to be strong and successful, ask them to put down the phone. Help them plan out their meals and snacks for games and training, get to bed early and pack their water bottle. These are simple and basic things for GOOD health.
If you really want to be great you need to do the basics. If you can’t do the basics you really don’t care about being great.
No one accidentally shows up to the championship game or succeeds in life by accident. Discipline, structure, and life skills need to be taught early on in life! Too many kids lack the means to succeed.
It’s 2025 and it’s time to get these student athletes dialed! 📞
Matt Deggs on the “Wolf Pack” mentality. The key takeaway from this metaphor is how important it is to help set up the next guy to have success. Everyone has a role in that process.
