@KCREGAP Will Hank and Jasper be there?

There is a cost to lead. True leaders are willing to pay the price: sacrifice self-interest and put their Cause ahead of themselves.

@PiperPirates_SB Congratulations Reagan! Well deserved honor. Whatever college is lucky enough to land you is going to get a no drama team player.

"The greatest compliment to any player is to be called a great teammate.  We can't all be great players, but we can all be great teammates." @JayBilas

@CoachDoty He/she- any sport.

Life isn’t fair. Everyone fails. Everyone falls. Things don’t always go your way & life doesn’t hand out participation awards. But it does give you opportunities to keep going until you get it right. Don’t whine or complain. Don’t give up. Just get back up & keep getting back up!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Kids shouldn’t be looking for support/feedback from parents during games. When it’s not necessary for them to look for parents in the stands to get validation, it shows their maturity level is improving. Encourage them to rely on themselves & focus on competing & being present!

Impostor syndrome is not a sign that other people are overestimating you. It's more likely that you're underestimating your potential.

Confidence is often a consequence of growth, not a cause. Believing in your ability is less important than believing in your ability to improve.

In the end we won't be measured by our bank account, sales numbers or wins and losses but by the difference we made in people's lives... and we make a difference through relationships. Love, Serve and Care more today.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Comfort in failure allows you to act without fear, to engage without judgment, to love without conditions.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

How we define success is a source of happiness we control.

105 studies, 70k ppl globally: valuing extrinsic over intrinsic goals predicts lower well-being.

Seeking fame, money, or beauty is a bottomless pit. Pursuing growth, kindness, trust, and health is a path to flourishing.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Read books because you will never be able to meet and spend uninterrupted time with the thoughts of so many brilliant and unique people.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Leaders create environments where people crave improvement. They want to learn & work to get better. It doesn’t need to be fancy/trendy/catchy. Just engaging, positive & full of opportunity. Give them an environment where they can thrive & they will fall in love with the process!

Waiting on cage to dry. Dottie getting much deserved fur removal from @ains_yoakam. Pork shoulder working. Today would have been my Mom’s 70th. Love you, miss you Katie Yoakam.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

If you look at someone successful & think they’re just lucky or it just fell in their laps, you couldn’t be more wrong. You never know how much a person sacrificed to become who they are, but you can bet they did. It definitely isn’t easy. It never is. Success is dirty hard work!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

You really have no control over what other people are doing or saying & really, why would you care. Just concentrate on helping & serving others. Focus on those who’re important in your life, the things you can control & how you can impact others. In the end, that’ll say it all!

BAD BODY LANGUAGE lets your opponents KNOW they got you on the ropes..

You can't COMPETE at your highest level when you let your emotions take over..

Stay calm in the the face of adversity 💯✊️

[Josh Yoakam @J_Yoakam]

Missed the sound of the glove snapping. Thanks for playing catch today @ains_yoakam. Nice seeing you run down fly balls as well. Closer…

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

It doesn’t matter how last season ended. Whether you went to state or didn’t come close, that’s forever in the past. Next season is a brand new beginning, a place to start fresh & build a strong, competitive team. Be very disciplined & keep moving forward. There’s no finish line!
