HEARTBREAKING: #NFL HCs and GMs LAUGHED AT Darren Sproles when he measured in at the combine and was only 5-foot-6 and weighed in at 170 pounds.

Sproles called his dad: “They laughed at me”

His Dad replied: “You know what to do”

Sproles became a legend.

I’ll probably catch some flack for this, but someone needs to say it:

Most players don’t get better at team practice.

Team practice has a job:

Get everyone organized, install systems, and get the team ready to compete

Your job is different

You’re not just there to “get reps”

You’re there to show the coach how good you already are… so he writes your name in the lineup

If you’re serious about baseball, your practice begins when team practice ends

That means you need:

-A plan made specifically for you

-A clear understanding of your own development

-The ability to filter out noise from internet experts and well‑meaning coaches with incomplete information

You need to be able to:

-Sift through information

-Decide what actually fits your process

-Smile, nod, and quietly ignore what doesn’t

Because here’s the hard truth:

They play you based on your performance, not your compliance

Coaches love compliant players

I do too

When you walk into my place, I want you locked in and ready to work

But if you comply and don’t perform, you don’t play.

No matter how compliant you are

Over your career you may play for as many as 30 different coaches

Some will be brilliant

Some will be average

Some will be flat‑out wrong

It cannot matter

If your career depends on always having the “right” coach, you’ve already given away the steering wheel

You have to become the kind of player who:

-Knows what he’s working on and why

-Can tell the difference between “this makes a difference” and “this just sounds good”

-Uses coaches as resources, not crutches

They are managing a team... YOU are managing YOUR career

It's not that they don't care ... they do, but they simply don't have the time

You can't outsource your future to generic practice plans

It’s time to get a plan with your name on it

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.

Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥

You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.

Hard is the lesson.

Another GREAT quote from @CoachAnderson15
“0–2 count. Bottom of the ninth. Two outs. You don’t rise to the moment — you fall back on your preparation and your standard.”
