Not even two months ago, @MKE_Baseball was 5-22. Today, the Panthers are just one win away from the Super Regional.

I had a conversation with a Power 4 college coach who’s been doing this for 25+ years.

We were talking about the mentality of high school players during the recruiting process.

Here’s what he told me:

“What these kids don’t realize is…

I don’t care how many followers you have.
I don’t care how many home runs you hit in travel ball.
I don’t care how many offers you have.
I don’t care about your ranking.
I don’t care how hard you can hit a ball.
I don’t care about your metrics.

The only thing I care about is this:

Are you going to produce in between those white lines when we play this season?”

Then he said something else that hit:

“They’ve been so protected that the first time they fail, they quit… or they transfer.”

And here’s the part that matters.

The biggest development mistake I see?

Players don’t plan for failure.

They plan for success.
They visualize success.
They expect success.

But they don’t prepare for 0-4.
They don’t prepare for getting booed.
They don’t prepare for sitting the bench.
They don’t prepare for struggling for 3 weeks.

So when it happens — and it will — they panic.

Instead of executing a pre-made plan, they try to create one while emotional.

That never works.

Failure is coming.

The question is:
Did you already decide how you’re going to handle it?
