Say it again.

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

Players, the coach of the college you want to attend is watching your high school or travel ball game. He’s holding paperwork that reads all types of bullshit including your ranking according to some nerds, all types of metrics that say you’re good. You proceed of go 0-3 with two punchies and a 6-3 where you run 60% down the line. You think the papers he’s holding are more important than what he just saw with his own eyes? Focus on real life and what matters. rankings are pretend. Social media is pretend. Box scores are real.

Need to read this a few times.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

One thing great players have in common: They all sacrifice their free time to work at their passion.
Team practices only take you so far.

[EHornebaseball @EmHornebaseball]

Let's Go Tigers!! Busy week ahead.

[EHornebaseball @EmHornebaseball]

So true. Not just in baseball. For all sports.

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

H.S. players worry too much about announcing a commitment…because of social media.

Not enough asking:
Where will I play?
Where do I fit?
Am I comfortable with the coaches & school?
Will this set me up after baseball?

The post lasts a day.
The decision lasts 4 years. ⚾️

[EHornebaseball @EmHornebaseball]

That's what it's all about.

[Steve Campbell @SCampbell_1]

A lot of college opportunities start with a high school coach who believes in his player.

He pushes the film.
He drives the kid to camps.
He makes the calls.
That work rarely gets attention.
But it changes careers.

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

As a hitting coach, I watched players come back to the dugout after making an out.

They'd look at me and ask, "What'd you see?"

I'd go through the mechanical stuff like back side collapse, front side energy, head came off the ball. Man, it was wearing me out!

Finally, I realized I needed to simplify.

So the next time a player came back asking what I saw, I just asked him: "Did you get a good pitch to hit?"

That usually stopped the conversation. Because if you don't "get a good pitch to hit," it's hard to get a hit.

This works in our lives too.

Whatever task I take on, I ask myself: Am I putting myself in position to succeed?

Did I eliminate distractions? Did I prepare? Did I practice? Am I ready to produce?

In life, your "good pitch to hit" probably isn't the same as mine.

That's the beauty of it all.

I've swung at some bad pitches in my life... so have you.

But one bad swing doesn't always end the at-bat.

Hitting is a lot like life.

It can be simple, but not easy.
