Parents of young players, here is a quiet test for the weekend. Put the radar gun and the ranking away for one day. Watch whether your son plays catch in the yard because no one made him. That answer tells you more about his future than any showcase will.

Nick Saban asked his team a simple question:

“Do we have show dogs on the team, or do we have hunting dogs?” 🥇

The answer tells you everything about your culture.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Players
Bring attention to yourself.
Stand out.
Be noticed.
How?
Keep your mouth shut.
Play hard.
Play with energy.
Play with toughness.
Wear the uniform right.
Don't show boat when you do something good.
Don't hang your head when something doesn't go your way.
Be a great teammate.
Play with class.
Respect your opponents.
While others act like fools, you act like a real player that's been raised right and respects the game.

Never underestimate the power of backyard development. The time spent with Mom & Dad playing catch, long toss, pepper, hitting off the tee, taking batting practice or even watching a game together. This is where young players will see the most growth.

Fathers

Read this. And then read it again.

I recently saw that 75% of the time we spend with our kids in our lifetimes will
happen by the time they are age 12!!

Don’t take these moments for granted. They are truly precious and are gone so quickly!

10 Tips for Parents of Athletes:

1. Control your emotions. Be a consistent example of mental stability. Show them how to properly respond when things don't our way. They will be able to get the most out of their skills when they are mentally in control.

2. Support them away from their team. All players should practice their sport on their own time. They will always have more time away from their team to get better than they will while with them. Help them develop this great habit. Help them learn to take their development into their own hands.

3. Be realistic. Put them in a position to thrive. We want them to get better but just because we want them to be ready for a certain level doesn't always mean they are ready for that level. Just because that's where their friends are doesn't mean it's the right place for them at that moment.

4. Don't allow excuses and blaming. The longer they do this the longer they will stunt their own growth. Teach them the difference between the controllable's and the un-controllable's. Their attitude, effort, energy and focus.

5. Think twice about your conversations. What are you allowing? What are you participating in? What are you instigating? The tone, the message, the impact. Know this too, sometimes the best thing we can say is nothing at all. Silence is okay!

6. Sports are hard. If you played while you were younger, keep perspective on how hard it was. If you never did, I suggest you go out there and practice with them. Try doing everything they are trying to do.

7. Slow down!! It's a process. They all grow at different rates. Support them, encourage them, motivate them and help them be their best but be careful of comparing them to their peers. The process and journey is different for all. Some are early bloomers while many are late bloomers. The most important years for an athletes performance don't even happen until after puberity kicks in and again, that even hits at different ages.

8. Look for leaders. Place them in front of those who are great people. People who will help instill the same values you are trying to tech them at home. Raising children is hard. Never underestimate the power of outside voices.

9. Youth sports has a way of becoming a toxic enviornment. From gossip about other players to coach bashing to berating and belittling officials. Don't be a part of it. Don't get sucked into the emotions of it. If you want these years to be as enjoyable as possible, beware of the nonsense and stay away from it.

10. Please don't ever let sports come between you are your child(ren). Don't let your attitude about their performance cause strain in your relationship. This game is a temporary phase in their life and meant to be enjoyable. Your relationship is forever. Nurture it now to have for life.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players have 2 choices: Either pout or prepare. Whether you play or don’t play, whether you win or lose, you will never regret working hard, making commitments, being disciplined or focusing too much. These skills not only prepare you for your game, but will prepare you for life!
