If the sport ended for your athlete tomorrow, would they know, really know, that you are proud of the person, not just the player? Most of us assume they know. Most of us are wrong. It is Sunday; the venues are quiet. Tell them today. You will never regret having said it.

Great advice! As I was riding with my son to his first year of college summer ball yesterday, I told him that every step was just like watching him the Major League to his mom & me! I have a pennant for every team he has ever played for. Itโs all about the journey!
When I was a boy, my father used to take us up to Lake Winnipesaukee.
Every morning I would try to catch minnows in a net. He would say, "The water sure is cold, and it's different today than yesterday."
One day I finally asked him why he always said that.
He said, Capt, the water is always flowing away from you. The water that touched you yesterday is way out in the middle of the lake. Enjoy the water that's flowing across your legs today."
I forgot that lesson as a father. I was so busy thinking about the next tryout, the next coach watching, the next college, that I missed the boys in front of me.
Do not be me. Watch your son play today. The water keeps moving.

โI believe very few people outside of our clubhouse thought this would happen." Bullitt East was 5-7 in its final 12 regular-season games and was a 3 seed in its district tourney. But the Chargers found a way to win the Sixth Region title: https://t.co/3jFecPke6B
For the first time since 2023, the Bullitt East Chargers are Sixth Region champions, defeating crosstown rival Bullitt Central 9-5. They will advance to the KHSAA State Tournament in Lexington, with opponents and times to be announced. #BEBaseball
@Jordanpowelljp3 will be entering the portal with 4 years of eligibility. Here he topped 91.5 with two different breaking ball shapes, as well as a changeup he can locate in zone.
Jordan is a two way. Hitting video will be attached in the thread.

I'm not at my best in heavy traffic.
Actually, I'm not at my best while waiting for anything.
But here's the one that stung.
We were at the Key Royale Club for Bingo. Someone called a premature number. Maddie was watching. And I muttered something under my breath that wasn't exactly Sunday morning material.
Maddie yelled out, "What the hell, lady?" because she had just heard her dad mutter it.
In that moment, Karla didn't yell at me. She didn't lecture.
She grabbed me by the ear, looked at me with those captivating brown eyes, and said five words: "Model the behavior you hope to instill in others."
That line hit me like a fastball at my ears.
All those years as a manager.
All those talks about character, discipline, how to handle adversity. How to represent yourself with respect. How to stay composed when things go wrong. And my daughter was watching me lose it over Bingo.
I wasn't modeling anything except frustration.
I was teaching her that the rules change when nobody important is watching. That your values are situational.
Here's what this taught me: Your kids won't always listen to what you say, but they're always watching what you do.
Model the behavior. Every time. Because someone who loves you is watching.
