So proud of this group! Playing 6 of last 7 wks since HS ball, this team has excelled all summer (23 wins) 💪🏻 and received some well deserved attention from college coaches along the way! 👀

Today we’re 9️⃣ days away from game day in Georgia, and we’re introducing Fy. INF Devin McCall! Devin is from Virginia Beach, VA. She never fails to make everyone giggle (especially when she’s concentrating). She loves all animals and in her free time she loves to snowboard!!

I interview college coaches, pro athletes, doctors, sports psychologists, industry leaders and more and NOT ONE PERSON has ever said to me that specializing in one sport at a young age is advantageous to the physical & mental development of young athletes. It’s refreshing to see @Tanner_Allen10 echo the sentiments of so many others while speaking from his experience as an SEC POY & National Champ. Hope this message reaches folks that are being misguided.

[Trent Mongero @CoachMongero]

In baseball, it’s not physical size, but skill sets, baseball IQ, and compete factor that matter most. Interestingly …Competing, commitment, toughness all come from within. How bad do you want it … and what are you willing to do to succeed. Bottom line, can you outplay your competition day in & day out. Does your coach trust you the most to get the job done?

Athletes: Practice with Purpose.

Before you get back on the field on this Monday, take 56 seconds and watch.

Something to be said for the kids that stay with one HS age travel ball organization and one HS start to finish. I would bet the majority of kids in the transfer portal bounced from one travel org to another and a lot transferred High Schools. Searching for greener grass 101!

[Dr. Tyler Winfield @Velo_doc]

I heard a story awhile back that made me laugh as hard as I ever have

Kids a draft prospect/SEC commit in baseball

Also the star QB for the football team

Football coach brings him in - says “we need you at every spring practice”

Player - “I have baseball practice and games”

Football coach - “doesn’t matter - we need you at spring practice”

Player - “so you are asking me to pick baseball or football?”

Football Coach - “yes we need you at practice”

Player - “well you are going to need a new QB because I’m going to play baseball”

I LAUGHED SO DAMN HARD BECAUSE YOU CAN GUARANTEE THE COACH DIDNT EXPECT THE KID TO CALL HIS BLUFF

If a coach wants you pick a single sport and give up the other (that you have a huge future in especially) that guy is a 🤡

Also it’s usually the more old school guys (especially smaller town football in Texas) trying to guilt trip teenagers into building the coaches legacy (and often times run the player into the ground for an extra W on the record- not sorry for pointing this out)

I’m glad the kid had the stones to stand up for himself - I know he wanted to play both but coach forced his hand - and the kid acted in his best interest NOT THE ADULT WHO WOULD HAVE BENEFITED FROM DERAILING THE KIDS BASEBALL CAREER

Players - it’s your career

[The Sport Parent @TheSportParent]

PARENTS - You can buy your kids a phone; pay for college, a car. You can buy sporting equipment but you can’t buy their success. If they want it, they have to earn it. Success isn’t easy. The “price” comes with a lot of extra work, trials & failure.
