Congrats on a great career @WiggsJohnny I’m blessed to have coached alongside you.

[Lance Larimer @LRLarimer]

So funny to me how coaches all over the country talk about how soft this generation of players is then make excuses like this when they lose. “Who cares, win anyway” should be the motto instead of crying about being uncomfortable. Definition of soft

'UTTERLY MISMANAGED'

Coastal Carolina head coach Kevin Schnall lets loose on how he felt the Tallahassee Regional was handled Saturday afternoon & night.

My goodness Miami I’ll do an infield clinic for you guys in the off-season just hit me up 😂

[DadPantsRevolution @DadPantsRev]

@mattragland In the same boat as you, a bit farther down river. Unless you’re an early stage entrepreneur, you are fine. You have money and health and your free time is for the family. If you dedicate your weekends to blacking out on the golf course and watching NFL, you’re blowing it.

@tyeckring12 @WiggsJohnny And that same school took that 2018 Chipola team to extras in post season as well

@paxtondrexler @texasrunnerDFW This is so on point

@benduchek @aakashgupta Do you think a life without getting drunk is less full than one where you do? Not drinking is literally taking care of yourself

The Death of Baseball IQ

The game is over and we need to talk about why we took an L and why half of you are going to go home open your phones and completely miss the point.

We have an absolute epidemic in amateur baseball right now.

Players who are chasing metrics but losing ballgames. You’ve been trained to believe that if your exit velocity is up, your launch angle is perfect, and your radar gun numbers look good on a screen. You’re an elite prospect.

Let me tell you the truth. You are training for a spreadsheet while the team is trying to win a game on the dirt.

Data builds a great engine but tools don't mean a thing if you have zero Baseball IQ.

The 3 Lefts Metrics Audit

The Situational Deficit: In the cage a 95 mph exit velo is a perfect rep. In a live game with a runner on second, zero outs, and a tie score in the 6th. The definition of success changes. If you take a massive, heavy-pull hero swing to juice your personal data profile and roll over into a weak groundout. You failed. You chose to chase a metric instead of executing the backside approach the scoreboard demanded.

The Invisible Play Deficit: You can’t put a radar gun on a perfectly executed cutoff throw. There is no viral metric for an outfielder running 60 feet just to back up first base or an infielder communicating who has the bag on a steal before the pitch is thrown. Because those high IQ defensive plays don't generate a flashy stat line for social media. You treat them like afterthoughts. That is exactly why we give up runs.

The Scout Card Reality: You’re on the bus right now refreshing apps looking at a padded batting average. Let’s be real high level college recruiters and pro scouts don't care about your digital box score or what a local app says you're batting. They see right through it. They are watching how you handle a 95-mph fastball inside, your pitch recognition on a 3-2 slider, and your in game instincts. The screen might lie to protect your feelings but the radar gun and the scout's notebook won't.

Data can build the engine but it cannot steer the car. The college game moves way too fast for slow thinkers. If your energy, your hustle, and your focus change depending on your personal metrics instead of the team's record. You aren't a competitor.

You're just a data collector wearing our jersey.

Turn off the screens. Learn the game. Own the standard.

@GrapefruitBasil @JohnCassidy It’s way less entertaining than Bryson or any of the other big hitters. Props to Rai, but we don’t need more of that style if you want golf to be fun to watch

[Lance Larimer @LRLarimer]

I agree it was boring. Everybody saying they don’t like that big names can bomb and gauge all day until they can’t bomb and gauge and it’s boring bc no fairway means no scoring. Tougher course is just less entertaining to the majority

[Derek Blume @doc_blume]

This PGA Championship is unwatchable. The course setup is absolutely horrible...no risk-reward, no real scoring holes...just par after par without any drama. Nothing with this setup really allows the best in the world to separate from the rest. As a result any random guy can win

[Lance Larimer @LRLarimer]

@BenWill46 @TaraBull This the funniest thing I’ve read in awhile 😂

[Lance Larimer @LRLarimer]

@BSBSCOUT @TheRedStripesSG @WarrenHale What year are we talking about here? I’m calling BS

[The Frugal Mogul 🏡 @realfrugalmogul]

Imagine being 80 years old and having the opportunity to spend one day as your 40 year told self:

Your kids are young, all living at home and full of energy. Begging you to play and spend time with them. Your spouse is young and vibrant, full of energy. The house is alive with that familiar chaos of raising children and working. You feel so needed, and important.

You get in the car and go somewhere as a family. The kids are making a mess and screaming, but you don’t mind for you’ve come to miss these moments. You feel the deep love between all of you.

You call your parent, who is still alive, and talk for hours. You haven’t heard their voice in so long and now you get to tell them just how much you love them.

At the end of the day, the kids do not want to go to bed and just wanted you to read to them. Not wanting the day to end, you sit there and read to them for hours.

☝️ If this is your life today… know that so many people wish to be back in what you consider a tiresome chaos. This may just be the golden era of your life. Love your kids. Call your parents. Enjoy this limited edition of your life ❤️

🚨 Bobby Witt Jr's On-Deck Routine

• Lock in on the pitcher.
• Time up your stride.
• Visualize what you just saw w/ a swing.

⭐️ Your focus (or lack of it) on-deck is a difference-maker. Get into the box ready to compete.

@DetvrsEverybody @JLucroy20 Feel is literally all that matters if you are the one hitting or teaching a hitter. But if you’ve never done it you just watch videos and say “see they swing up” but have no actual understanding of what’s going on

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Rory McIlroy shares one of his favorite mantras and mindsets.

"One of the things that I love is focusing on the process over the prize."

"I would say to myself a lot: 'Process over prize. Process over prize. Process over prize.'"

"Just to take myself away from the outcome."

Own the process and focus on what you can control.

Then he mentions what happens to all of us:
"I can get real caught up in the outcome. I just really need to remind myself that the outcome will ultimately happen if you just focus on the process. It takes care of itself."

Everyone loves outcomes, very few love the process.

It means focus, discipline, consistency, and relentless commitment.

It doesn't matter what you want, it matters what you are willing to consistently do.

I'm going to say something that doesn't reflect well on me or my wife.

We let the kids have the iPad for too long. Way too long.

We realized that it was ruining their personalities.

I watched it happen and I didn't act fast enough.

We took the iPads away. Took the phones. All of it.

And I got my children back.

They’ve been de-zombified. The difference was immediate and it was dramatic.

So let me give credit where it's due.

Shout out to Jonathan Haidt.
Shout out to Kara Swisher

You think you're giving your kid entertainment.

A way to decompress. Something to keep them occupied.

You're handing them something that is quietly rewiring how they think, how they feel, and how they connect with the people right in front of them.

Take it away. You'll get your kid back too.

I promise you won’t regret it!
