Keep working, Cars...battled some injury stuff for several weeks, kept a great attitude about it and helped team play its best baseball down stretch. Nose down, stay true to yourself!

Bulldogs (311) go back to back and are IHSAA Sectional Champions once again! Batesville’s Ian Hixson is the 2026 individual champion at the Greensburg Sectional behind a 73 (+3).

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

Not saying these kids aren’t good players—many are.

But some “metrics guys” look great in workouts…

Then varsity H.S. baseball hits:
300+ fans or more, pressure, adversity, no easy games.

Some struggle because varsity pressure is different than travel ball.

[Batesville Baseball @BatesvilleBB]

The moment.

Batesville defeats Greensburg 3-1 to claim the Sectional 29 Championship!

Yes...have said this for years. Better off pissing off a couple(if they quit, fine) and having a standard than trying to keep everyone happy bc inevitably you just piss nearly everyone off!

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

One of the biggest mistakes in coaching is trying to keep everyone happy.
The right decision is often not the popular decision and those who are afraid to rock the boat usually end up sinking it.

As I was lifting weights this morning and thinking about golf, it occurred to me that there are people who choose hobbies that don't cause them pain and frustration.

Currently at the D3 College World Series...

I don't want to hear another person say they are too good for D3.

Studs everywhere!

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Parenting isn’t a negotiation.
Neither is coaching.

Love them. Push them. Hold the standard.

Kids don’t need easy adults.
They need honest ones.

A serious organization pulls him off the field tomorrow. There’s no reason everyone should know your third base coach’s name.

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

The recruiting calendar feels relentless because we have made it relentless.
The families who pace themselves, who take real off-weeks, who eat dinner together on Sundays, who let their son be 16 sometimes , end up with student-athletes who last longer in the game and enjoy it more when they get to college.
The marathon belongs to the families who refuse to sprint.

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

A good high school basketball team doesn't need 5 scorers.
It needs a floor general, a lockdown defender, and somebody who knows their job is to rebound everything in sight.
Roles win games. Superstars are built out of teams that commit to those roles.

[Doug Meyer @dougmeyer5]

Once NIL and portal have infected, it might be hard to go back. Sure seems like lots of coaches making similar comments in recent weeks!

[Jon Blau @Jon_Blau]

After Clemson's quick ACC tourney exit, Erik Bakich said he's going back to a "Year 1" approach in 2026 fall ball, "implementing standards and holding people accountable to them."

In 2022, like he did at Michigan, players had to earn everything from facility access to gear.

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

Forty years in this game. Here is what I have learned about the families who navigate it best.
They are not the ones with the biggest budgets. They are not the ones with the most connections. They are the ones who decided early that this is a forty-year decision, and started behaving accordingly.
They turn down the showcase that does not fit the plan. They pass on the travel team that promises exposure for a price. They put their son in front of honest evaluators instead of marketing departments.
They are not chasing baseball. They are building a man who happens to play it.
The trophy is the relationship you have with your son when he is thirty.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

If you haven't legitimately worked and sacrificed for it.
Nobody wants to hear you complain.
If your son hasn't legitimately worked and sacrificed for it.
Nobody wants to hear you complain.
The weight room, track, cages, pitching machines, long tossing and calories are available year round.
Competitive athletics are designed to be cruel, rude and nasty at times to allow the cream to rise to the top.
Don't be the locker room or grand stand lawyer because you or your son didn't get what he didn't work for.

My JUCO coach used to say: “It’s not always about mechanics or more reps…sometimes the best thing you can do is stop overthinking and compete.”

[Mike Jagacki @Mike_Jagacki]

Down the stretch of close games, I always think about something John Calipari said in a clinic. He called it “Streak.”

The idea was simple: in a key stretch, he’d yell “Streak,” and from that point on, only his two best players were allowed to take a shot.

He explained it as a way to avoid burning a timeout while still controlling shot attempts.

I’ve never implemented it, but I think about it all the time, especially late in close games when a possession swings to the wrong player. A role guy tries to create, or a limited shooter rises for a big three… and you just know it’s not going in.

Curious if anyone has used something like this and what your experience was.
