When your town is overrun with violent criminal gangs, Kamala Harris and her friends will say, "well, it's only a handful of apartment complexes" that have been overrun by illegal gangs.
The only acceptable number of American apartments overrun by criminal gangs is zero.
@CoachCroyle@coachcroyle do you have this posted next to the mirror in the coaches dressing room. At 61 years old my experience is it’s easy to preach body language and row the boat yet 85% of all coaches don’t live it and have the worst body language. Leadership starts at the top!
@jay3day has been ending our cage hitting sessions with 8 swings on the field off the tee oppo. Ended today’s session with a 💣to the CF side of the scoreboard that I caught on video. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Harder than you think😎 #Believe #@CSCWildcat9
@jay3day@StockwellStefan@CSCWildcat9@jay3day@StockwellStefan As the only fan attending this event let me add this to the disclaimer; a lot of rust early on from both participants. My 2 takeaways 1- Stocks change-up is even more impressive up close & personal Filthy! 2- J switching to the 33.5 is a game changer. 💣
Dear Parents:
Please understand that your athletes coaches are not miracle workers. Sure, some may be better at what they do than others but in the end it will come down to an athletes innate ability (what they were born with), their love for the game, their level of focus, their aptitude (ability to apply what they are learning), their level of mental toughness, how much work they put in on their own time and their personal desire to just get better.
Teach your athlete responsibility and accountability. To never rely on others to help them get better. To be a student of the game. To seek out those with more experience and pick their brains and to look for ways to get better everyday.
All Baseball coaches no matter the level need to start practicing this level of personal accountability. Really easy to say the words…..a lot harder to make and share a list of your failures, successes and plans to be better.
The list will certainly grow over the next few days/weeks, but here are my reflections on 2023-24 and plans for 2024-25. Looking forward to the next chapter of Saxon Baseball!
Dan Hurley was asked, "What does a championship culture look like?"
He said, "Everyone thinks the same things, behaves the same way, and we're all striving for the same things. That's what culture means."
Dan then said, "My job is to make sure everyone in this building is not giving me what they have left, it's to give me everything that they got."
Your culture is what you accept.
It's a reflection of your leadership and what you're willing to tolerate. It means:
• Drive the ship.
• Lead by example.
• Hold people accountable.
5 Silent Culture Killers That Stop You From a Championship Culture:
1. When you let toxic people stay - Toxic people poison the work environment. They lower morale, spread negativity, and hinder productivity. Remove them is crucial to maintain a healthy culture and protecting your team. It is an example of how you slowly poison the culture from the inside-out.
2. When you don't communicate or give feedback - Poor communication leads to misunderstandings and confusion. Without feedback (good or bad), people don't know if they're meeting expectations. Open, honest dialogue builds trust and alignment. It means consistent, clear communication sending and listening.
3. When you haven't set clear expectations - Vague expectations lead to confusion and inconsistency. People need to know what's expected to perform well. Clear expectations guide behavior and improve outcomes. Define roles and goals to ensure everyone is on the same page.
4. When don’t hold people accountable - It means demanding, but not demeaning. Lack of accountability weakens standards and erodes trust. People will be complacent, selfish, and unproductive if they don't see you holding people accountable. It creates responsibility, ownership, and commitment in the team.
5. When you don't recognize and celebrate good work - Failing to recognize and celebrate achievements diminishes hope and even energy. People want to be celebrated and appreciated for positive achievements. Celebrating successes reinforces the positive behavior you're looking for.
Praise for others does not negate praise you've already received, or future praise you're yet to hear. Praise is not a zero-sum "game." It can be doled out constantly, even in perpetuity, and there will still be more left to give.
@PSCLBaseball23 A little deceptive don’t you think. Show the back field where most of the games are played. Let the players know the only night a game is if they get picked for the all star game. All games played between 8AM to Noon. Stadium games 98% Empty. Oh and the worst umpiring ever! 🤣🤣
