A new era begins in DeLand.

With Shane Gierke now at the helm, @StetsonBaseball has the facilities, recruiting base and recent history to get back on track.

This is what high school looks like in Alabama. I went to HS about 30 minutes away from Gulf Shores, just across the state line. FL schools can’t even sniff facilities in the surrounding states! C’mon FL… let’s do better!

Teachers are expected to:

• Arrive before everyone else
• Teach all day
• Manage 30+ different personalities in every class
• Differentiate lessons for every learning level
• Keep students engaged
• Handle behavior issues
• Answer parent emails
• Attend endless meetings
• Grade mountains of assignments
• Track data and update online systems
• Complete paperwork
• Plan tomorrow’s lessons
• Support struggling students
• Challenge advanced students
• Cover for absent staff
• Supervise lunch, hallways, and dismissal
• Adapt to every new initiative that comes along

And after all that, they're somehow expected to go home with enough energy to be a parent, partner, friend, or simply a functioning human being.

People talk about teacher shortages, burnout, and declining morale as if they're mysteries.

They're not.

You can't keep adding responsibilities to a job that's already overflowing and then act surprised when people reach their limit.

The real question isn't why teachers are burning out.

It's why anyone expects them not to.

Great teams fall from within when you stop living the standard and start accepting excuses.

[Jesse Simmons @ItsJesseSimmons]

Florida’s new head FB coach @CoachJonSumrall had a few words about Stetson’s new head Baseball coach, Shane Gierke that fans should note✍🏼

"Shane is a relentless worker and tremendous coach. His ability to recruit and develop players has always stood out to me. I'm excited to watch him lead as a head coach."

The two friends and coaches formerly spent time at Troy as assistants from 2015-17, and now get Head Coaching jobs in the same state in 2026☀️🏈⚾️

Thrilled that @Gierke12 is back and leading the Hatters. 143 wins and 2 🏆in his four years in DeLand.

Fired up for him, his family, and our student-athletes!

Everyone says "team first" - but do they build a culture than enables it?

Accept the new things God is doing. He changes seasons, He closes doors, He opens up new opportunities, He creates new relationships.

Just found this beautiful verse❤️

ECCLESIASTES 3:11

God says, “I am not late. I am making everything beautiful in its time. Trust My timing, even when you cannot see My plan.”

[The Sport Parent @TheSportParent]

Prior to complaining to your child’s coach about playing ask yourself 4 questions:

1 Does my child attend ALL practices?
2 Does my child spend xtra hrs on their game?
3 Has my child performed when given the chance?
4 Does my child want it as bad as I do?
