@pbbsoftball If I'm a college coach and the kids I'm tracking are slumping - want to see how they handle a move down the order or less circle time - do they cheer for their team or check out? Cuz its an inevitability in College - High character kids want what is best for the TEAM

@GregBerge 100 % Coach

National Level fast pitch coach for 15 years - have many stories & examples for each point - do it all over again no question because of the opportunity to impact so many young people

[Charlie Baumann @cbaumannusmgin1]

@BrianKight 100% - College Coaches more than Professional need to be Strong Leaders but doing the right thing for your players and the program gets one fired much of the time - too much emphasis on analytics & other metrics that don't measure heart or crucial intangibles

@COACH_MARSALN Your hip flexors are short tight and weak - lengthen and then strengthen them with the rest of your core (glutes especially) to balance out everything - too much sitting is culprit for most - first hand experience w this

Wooden the absolute all time best coach of any sport

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

John Wooden didn’t just coach basketball. He coached life.

Bill Walton shared some of his most powerful lessons:
•"Never mistake activity for achievement."
•"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."
•"Be quick, but don't hurry."

Timeless wisdom from a coaching legend.🏆

@RobOviatt1 West Point coaches at same time that’s where relationship started

[Charlie Baumann @cbaumannusmgin1]

@joshgessner Focus on the process not the desired result

Enjoy the process while staying completely present as much as possible

Rest takes care of itself

@CoachSwit The real competition isn’t the other bench - it’s our bench - everyone pushing each other in a healthy way cuz it’s about the TEAM

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Players hoping the guy in front of them fails…

aren’t competitors—they’re distractions.

Good teams aren’t built like that.

If your mindset is “I need him to struggle so I can play,” you’ve already lost.

Coaches don’t trust players like that.

I've had a lifetime of ups, downs, and sideways.

Baseball. Failure. Faith. Rock bottom. Redemption.

And the one lesson that ties all of it together?

You don't become better by avoiding hard.

You become better by embracing it...

I'm a broken, flawed man and I've made mistakes I'm not proud of.

I've let people down...not by choice, but I let them down.

But how I reacted to those moments? That's where the growth lived.

Here's what a lifetime of hard actually taught me.

Lesson #1: Life is going to be hard. That's not a warning, that's a promise.

People are going to be messy.

You're going to make mistakes.

The speed of life doesn't slow down for any of us.

What you control:
• Whether you embrace hard or run from it
• Whether you get better or just get bitter
• What your first thought is when your feet hit the floor in the morning

There's so much more value in pushing through hard times and coming out the other side.

Lesson #2: You can't outrun what you're supposed to grow through.

I numbed failure instead of walking through it.

I told myself it was working.

It wasn't.

Eventually, the hard you've been running from catches up.

And when it does you either let it break you or let it build you.

I've walked through all the challenges, all the ups, all the downs, all the sideways.

And I think every single one of them put me in a position I was handpicked for.

Hard doesn't disqualify you.

It prepares you for what's next.

Lesson #3: Be Steadfast. Be Persistent. Be Resilient.

Those aren't traits you're born with.

They're what's left after hard things do their work on you.

They didn't come from the easy stretches

They came from character that wasn't there before

Empathy I couldn't have had without the hard

Today is the only one we're promised.

Don't waste it running from hard.

Embrace it.
