Athletes: My best advice for this season?
Take ownership of your actions.
Help develop a “no excuse” team culture.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Coaches shouldn’t have to push you to work hard, you should push yourself to work hard because you want to be a great player.

Here we go again. Another over the top celebration at 12u. If you think this is good for baseball, you are the problem.

Bat almost hits him in the face after the spike, then all the "look at me" antics, and you gotta love the cameraman on the field running with the kid.

What a joke. It's all a show...🤦🏼‍♂️

WOW! This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

Baseball can destroy your confidence because it's a game of failure. Two quick things:

1) Don't put baseball on a pedestal. It's a game, and it's meant to be fun. Learn from the adversity, but after the game FLUSH IT.

2) Don't allow a speedbump to become a ROADBLOCK ‼️💯

I almost made this exact tweet today… and was like “nah, that’s rubbing it in.” Lol. But this so true… baseball, hockey, and other sports are games of inches…. So train accordingly. Everything matters….

190lb Evan Francis capped off an incredible (46-6) senior wrestling season today with a 6th place medal finish for the Cats in Champaign! Evan’s 46 wins in a single season is good enough for 2nd all time at MHS! Just 2 victories shy of tying Gaige Owens record of 48!
