Had a good game at the plate in game 2 collecting a base knock and 2 RBIs. Good outing on the mound collecting 5ks 1er 1walk and 5 hits across 4 innings of work. @PrepBaseballMD@B_STaylor@WHSOwlsBaseball
💯. We do it for the relationships. We do it because we can make impacts that can help kids grow that can possibly change a young man’s life hopefully.
No game teaches you more about life and its challenges than a game designed around opportunity or failure as some say.
The majority of high school baseball coaches aren’t in it for the paycheck.
The hours don’t match. The stress doesn’t match. The pay doesn’t match.
They do it for the love of the game, most people don’t realize that.
Back when I was coaching varsity baseball in California…
Facing a 90+ drafted arm.
We ran 5 straight suicide squeezes.
Worked 4 in a row—didn’t on the 5th.
Opposing coach: “Teach your kids to swing.”
Me: “Teach yours to defend a bunt.”
We won 4–2.
Adjust…or get beat.
