Nick Saban, discussing collectives, outlines what Alabama was working with
Says he had $2.7 million in his first year of NIL, then $7 million, and then $10 million.
After he retired, he said it jumped to $17 million, then $24 million.
“Now you have schools at $40 million”
Tom Brady said, "If you don't believe in yourself, why is anyone else going to believe in you?"
The brutal truth about self-belief is you can't just wait for confidence to "just happen."
You need to create a system and habits.
A system that allows you to influence yourself.
“This sport should be popular on every campus in the country…”
Troy Coach Skylar Meade is one of the most fascinating coaches in the sport. Here’s what he had to say when he was asked what makes College Baseball so unpredictable:
Fun Facts
Not one CWS team from 2026 made a super regional.
Cal Poly won the UCLA regional.
St. Johns won the Florida State regional.
Little Rock won the Southern Mississippi regional.
Troy won the Florida regional.
Little Rock and Troy will match up in a super regional.
Maybe NIL spending and coaching salaries don't mean as much as some people think.
Congratulations to Matt Mosley (2nd Team Infielder), Landon Gilbert (1st Team Infielder and Region Player of the Year), James Yarbrough (1st Team Catcher), Logan Johnson (1st Team Pitcher) on their recognitions at the Sporting Times 4th Region Baseball Awards.

Elite reminder for this Wednesday from @CoachRayO3313
When some turn to talking, always make discipline your decision. The actions you carry out on a daily basis will always speak much louder than words.

Done Well > Well Said...
Dominate the little things. The great ones know, and understand, that everything matters. They don’t allow cracks in the foundation. They’re intentional about every moment, every rep, every play, every task.
At the end of the day, the smallest details add up. The question is, what are they adding up to?
Do you second guess yourself or have regrets at the end; or are you content knowing that you mastered the little details, no matter the result?
Build & protect the foundation. Take the path of small, consistent details. Master the details. Remember that everything matters.
@PurplesBaseball advances to the Region Championship with a 12-2 win over Russell County in 5 innings.
BG will play Greenwood or Franklin-Simpson tomorrow night at 6pm.
Way to go Purples!
When talking about Attack Angle, timing has to be part of the conversation.
Here is a way to look at timing and attack angle and their relationship together. The attack angle will vary on the height of the pitch as well as location hence the (4-12 degree range)
Vertical Bat Angle is another big piece of the puzzle. (That’s for another post)
