“Too many kids today are afraid of failure.” - Doug Collins

What happens when kids never learn to fail?

They quit when it gets hard.

Because no one let them practice getting back up.

Might be the best thing I’ve seen from the MCWS.

The umpiring crew went out and found the Branch parents to give them the official lineups with both of their boys, Kolby (UGA) and Kyle (Oklahoma), on them.

They are the first brothers to be opponents in a starting MCWS lineup.

JUST IN: Mississippi State has landed a commitment from South Dakota State 3B Nolan Grawe.

The first-team All-Summit League infielder had 70 hits, 18 doubles and 5 triples this year.

“I know that this team has what it takes and I’m excited to do whatever it takes to get to that point. The end goal is to hoist that trophy.”

Young players, this is the vast majority of the college coaching mindset.

Young players, understand this:
College athletics isn't a hobby. For coaches, it's their livelihood. Their job is to be competitive and win, and they'll play the best prepared players. Period.

You're not owed playing time, a lineup spot, or opportunities.
I've seen talented players coast through high school on athleticism and praise, only to get exposed in college because they never learned how to struggle, adapt, and compete.

The players who last are the ones who:
• Work
• Fail
• Adjust
• Work more
• Earn opportunities
• Repeat

Success is built through adversity, not comfort.
Before chasing college athletics, ask yourself:

"Am I willing to do whatever it takes to help my team win?"
"Am I the type of player a coach would stake his career on?"

If the answer is YES,that’s great.

Get back to work, prepare and don’t stop.
Chase your dreams.

Get after it!

Good luck.

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.

@bronco3016 Kobe gotta go

[Kevin W. @Brink_Thinker]

New Jersey school has required every freshman to hike 55 miles on the Appalachian Trail for 53 years straight.

At St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark, this isn’t optional — it’s a mandatory 5-day rite of passage before becoming a sophomore.

Many students have never hiked or camped before. They train together in the spring, then get split into small teams where each kid gets a critical role: navigator, medic, cook, captain, etc. No one knows everything — they must rely on each other.

With minimal adult supervision, they hike rain or shine, facing blisters, sore muscles, and real challenges head-on. As one administrator put it: “The only way we can get through this is if we work together.”

The result? Teens who return more confident, resilient, and bonded — proving that real growth happens when you step away from screens and into the wilderness.

What an incredible tradition! Parents, educators, and anyone raising tough kids — this is gold.

Who else believes we need more experiences like this?

⚾️ 25 YEARS AGO TODAY ... Northern Iowa Baseball claimed its lone NCAA Tournament victory — a 10-1 win over BYU in Lincoln, Neb.

Ryan Brunner and Jason Simon hit solo homers, Aaron McEachran belted a three-run blast and Micah Green threw a complete game to claim the win.

🏌️🏆 PGA Championship winner, Aaron Rai on why he uses iron covers: “I grew up in very much a working-class family, and golf has always been a very expensive game. I started from the age of 4 years old, and my dad used to pay for the equipment, pay for my memberships, my entry fees. And it wasn't money that we really had, to be honest, but he'd always buy me the best clubs.

When I was about seven or eight years old, (my dad) bought me a set of Titleist 690 MBs, and they were like 800-1,000 pounds back then, just for a set of clubs for a kid. I cherished them. When we used to go out and practice, he used to clean every single groove afterward with a pin and with baby oil.

Although on the PGA Tour, we get given equipment, and we get given everything that we need, it's more out of principle. The value of not losing perspective of what I have and where I am. The covers are going to stay, I'm sorry."
