Yesterday I wrapped up my college baseball career as well as my playing career. I was reflecting on some things that I wish I knew coming into college or somethings that I would tell younger players interested in playing college baseball. So here they are in no particular order⬇️
This mother is catching some flack because she said she sits on the opposite side of the parents on her son’s baseball team. Looks like the outfield.
She said she can’t stand the constant chatter and lingo - “Good eye!” , “You got a piece of it.!” , etc. and all the talk in the bleachers.
Many put her down saying she is not a team player as a parent.
But some others said they agreed with her.
I am with her. I usually sat down the line on first or third base. I want to watch the game and not chatter all night and listen to moms and dads coach their kids from the stands. Or all the gossip. I totally get it.
Do you understand where this momma is coming from and feel like she does or do you think it’s rude of her to disassociate with the other parents during the game?
Congrats Bennett! It’s cliche, but he walked in a boy and is now a university graduate. Lots of hard, hard work went into these past 5 years. Thank you coaches ( @TOakes7 / @CoachB_Hunt / @CoachTNeale ) for your care and guidance - very appreciated!
This 'W' word can turn your whole season around.
0-for-3.
Bat down.
Helmet off.
Head drops.
Ready to go home.
Slow walk back.
Quiet dugout.
No eye contact.
The 0-for-3 didn't put you in a slump.
The 'W' word you keep using did.
Ready to flip the switch?
You keep saying 'why me.'
Start saying this instead..
"Watch me" or "Watch this."
Flip the switch.
Put on a show.
...or let the show keep happening to you.
"Watch me."
"Watch this."
"Watch me."
"Watch this."
What are you going to tell yourself?
Are you going to keep being "poor me?"
Or are you going to flip the switch and start saying..
"This poor pitcher. He has to face me."
Send this to a hitter who needs it.
