Great Read.

[Kevin Burrell @KevinBurrellMLB]

To every professional baseball scout, HS head coach and college recruiter:

The following is both a challenge and an encouragement.

The pursuit of excellence in our profession often comes with a hidden cost.

We spend countless hours on the road, at ballparks, on airplanes, in hotels, and in conversations evaluating other people’s children.

The work matters. The opportunities we help create matter. But let’s never forget what matters most.

My friend, Washington Nationals scout Tommy Jackson once made a profound statement: @TJScout44

“I only saw 5 games of my son’s senior year in high school, watching other people’s children play (of which I got zero in the draft). Point is — don’t miss out!”

Those words should stop every scout, coach, and college recruiter in our tracks.

LOVE is spelled TIME

The people who matter most don’t measure our love by our intentions; they experience it through our presence.

Don’t miss a decade of your child’s life chasing only position, power, and prosperity. At the end of the day, it’s not worth it.

The next promotion, assignment, title, or contract can always be replaced.

If you die tomorrow. You’ll be replaced in a week or two.

The moments with your children cannot.

Their games, conversations, milestones, struggles, victories, and everyday memories are opportunities that expire forever once they’re gone.

Yes! Work hard. Be excellent at what you do. Honor your commitments.

But maintain a healthy balance between your career and your family, especially your children.

Invest in your children as intentionally as you invest in your profession.

Be present.

Be engaged.

Be available.

Let them know they are not competing with your career for your attention.

Most importantly, let them see that your relationship with God is more important than your relationship with work.

Let them watch you live out your faith through your priorities, your character, and your daily decisions.

As my friend Brian Dodd says so well: @BrianKDodd

“God’s Sovereignty—Is My Sanity.”

Because when it comes to your children never forget…

“A lot more is caught than taught.”

Your children may not remember every lesson you tried to teach them, but they will remember what you valued, where you spent your time, and who you became.

Players will come and go.

Reports will be filed.

Seasons will pass.

Drafts will conclude.

But your family is your first team.

Don’t miss out.

[Noah Bieniek (Bee-Nick) @NoahB77_]

North Carolina Coach Scott Forbes got emotional talking about the performance of first baseman Erik Paulsen on Father’s Day:

“His dad was awesome. I mean straight NYPD, a bad dude. He served us, he served our country, he served during 9/11 I know he’s with Erik, I know he’s watching Erik.

“I love [Erik Paulsen] like a son, hopefully he feels that,” Forbes finished.

Up 1-0 in best of three @CWSOmaha Skip Johnson (@CoachJohnsonOU) delivers an uncommon message for @OU_Baseball and for every leader striving to build an uncommon culture:

🙌 Selflessness is one of the rarest competitive advantages in any organization because it becomes increasingly uncommon at every level. The higher the stakes, the more people protect their status, spotlight, and self-interest. Teams that consistently choose "we" over "me" create separation that talent alone can't overcome.

❓ One of the most powerful questions a team can ask is: "What could we accomplish if nobody cared who got the credit?" Ego divides energy. Shared ownership multiplies it. When recognition becomes secondary to the mission, trust grows, silos disappear, and extraordinary results become possible.

✈️ Your trajectory is often determined by the energy you tolerate. Negative people drain focus, magnify problems, and create friction that slows progress. Protect your environment relentlessly. Removing toxic energy creates the space for growth, momentum, and your best work to emerge in sports and in life.

Selflessness is the ultimate force multiplier: when everyone invests in the mission instead of their own spotlight, ordinary groups become uncommon teams. 🔦 #MCWS #RoadToOmaha

I LOVE that OU has a roster full of JUCO players!
There’s just something different about JUCO guys. Hungry. Tough. Grateful. They’ve had to earn every opportunity. Love hearing Coach talk about the grit and edge they bring to Oklahoma’s roster.

[Tami Smolinski @TamiSmolinski]

@PeterMichael00 He is a JUCO transfer… not in portal though… different… played at WS..great numbers.. he will land where he is supposed to.

[Tami Smolinski @TamiSmolinski]

@PeterMichael00 It’s the hardest thing as a parent to sit back, just trust in the Lord, our son’s choices, the ones helping & just pray he lands at the right place. It is their life, their choices & just have to trust the process. For sure thought our son would be committed by now. PATIENCE
