@Vern_Funquist It’s a very common for batter to look at their dugout and pound their chest when they get to 2 strikes; Shows your teammates you’re fighting for them and fighting with 2. Most elite college programs, at any level, do this.

If you never played a team sport just say that. Goofy

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Great teams don’t make excuses.
They make adjustments.

No…

“Yeah, but the refs…”
“Yeah, but they’re more talented…”
“Yeah, but we were tired…”

Accountability starts when the excuses stop.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Bill Cowher shares the 3 things he told his 3 daughters - and his 53 players.

"Number one - choices and consequences."

"You can control your choice. But once you make a choice, it controls you...Just understand - with every decision you make, there's a consequence that goes with that."

Your choices and actions matter.

"Number two - it's about the people you surround yourself with."

"Are they people that are purpose-driven? Or are they people that are just trying to feed off of who you are?"

"I want people around me that are purpose-driven. People focused on doing something impactful and meaningful."

"And the third thing - nothing good happens after midnight. Nothing."

Three rules. A lifetime of wisdom.

Your choices control you. Your circle defines you. Your habits protect you.

Entitlement is a culture killer.

“As long as you don't have entitlement in your program, you got a shot.”

- Kirby Smart 🥇

Hunger builds teams.
Entitlement destroys them.

[Coach John @Sauce_MacKenzie]

Every successful HS coach needs a strong right hand man that will be loyal to him & never undermine him. If you look at some of the best programs, they have loyal, smart Number 2 guys. WHO DONT WANT TO BETRAY THE HC. Too many assistant coaches with personal agendas

Tom Coughlin said, "You never want an opponent to see you in anything, but strength."

"You don't want bad language. You don't want that as a stamp of who you are."

Your body language speaks before you do.

Your presence, your tone, your energy - everything speaks.

[Sherman Young Jr. @ShermStu_2]

Show me this clip on my deathbed and I’ll get up and walk out of that hospital..

[11Point7 College Baseball @11point7]

Oklahoma's catcher was dying laughing that LSU challenged this strike call. 😂😂😂

Trusting college hitters to know the zone is pure entertainment.

3rd base coach:
“Let’s go! Get a good pitch to hit!”
1st base coach:
“Let the ball travel!”
Dad:
“Remember to keep your weight back!”
Grandpa:
“Get that runner over!”
Little bro:
“Hit a bomb!”
Dugout:
“Don’t lunge!”
“Stay thru the baseball!”
“Stay short to the ball!”
“Watch for the 1st pitch curveball!”
“Sit fastball!”

Hitter thoughts:
You gotta block out the noise, have extreme focus, control the pressure and anxiety, have your plan and compete.

Just writing this gave me anxiety, imagine what that young ballplayer is going through in the moment the next time you want to start barking out instructions on how to hit! 🤐

We need more intolerant Christians.

Tolerance is often an excuse for cowardice.

Remember, “Love your enemies” does not mean “have no enemies.” It means you hope for their repentance even while you resist their evil.

@CoachNewk13 @_GoRoos @TopTierBaseball Yes, and tarpon staff.

[MJ👑 @iam__Jezreel]

Satan got Adam and Eve to focus on one fruit when God had given them a whole garden. That's how he works. He gets you to focus on that one thing you don't have. Instead of all the blessings you do have.

Trust that God knows what you need, and will supply it when you need it.
