Congratulations to Cole Goodrich for winning the Dakota Freese Memorial Home Run Derby at the inaugural Jim Ecker Sports Report All Star Classic at Prospect Meadows last night!

Heres a great one for the youth players getting warmed up to throw.

This is little snippet of what’s to come soon.. 🚀

[Brendan Dougherty @Brendougherty]

Pregame matters!! How you prepare before a game is a huge evaluation time for coaches/scouts. You may not get a ball hit to you during the game! Work with intent, at game speed and under control. Spoke to a college coach today, told me he stopped recruiting a player because his pregame was lazy. It translates!! You’re always being evaluated!!

[Perfect Game Iowa @IowaPG]

Cole Goodrich (‘26, IA) rips a double to CF as part of a 3-hit day. Shows strong hands and quality bat speed through the zone, allowing him to consistently impact the baseball. Confident swing producing loud results all day. #PGIASpringLeague @nicc_bsb commit.

A reminder

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players: Just because you work hard doesn't mean that you will be successful. It doesn't mean you'll play more or be a starter either, but HARD WORK is the foundation for ANY kind of success, ON & OFF the court. In the game & in life, without the hard work, you have NO CHANCE!

I don’t care how many times I’ve seen this, it will always be funny to me 😂😂

[Don Williams @Don_K_Williams]

Athlete: Coach… I think I want to quit.

Coach: Okay. Then let’s talk about why.

Athlete: I’m tired. All the early mornings, the pain, the pressure. Sometimes I wake up and wonder what I’m even doing this for.

Coach: That’s not quitting. That’s being human. Doubt shows up when you’re close to something that matters.

Athlete: But I’m not even sure I’m good enough. I look around and see people stronger, faster… happier.

Coach: Comparison is a liar. It shows you everyone’s surface but hides their struggle. You don’t need to be better than them. You need to be better than yesterday.

Athlete: What if I never win? What if I give everything and still fall short?

Coach: Then you’ll walk away with something most never touch—truth. The kind you only find when you’ve emptied yourself for something bigger than comfort.

Athlete: So… you think I should keep going?

Coach: I think you already know the answer. You wouldn’t be having this conversation if you truly wanted to stop. You just want someone to remind you that it’s worth it.

Athlete: It hurts, Coach. Some days, it really hurts.

Coach: Good. That means you care. And nothing worth having comes without pain. Now breathe. You’ve made it through every hard day so far.
Most quit before the breakthrough!

Don’t be like most!

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is rest. Don’t feel bad for taking a rest day. In the long run, it’ll help you stay physically and mentally healthy.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

The difference is the relentless effort you decide to give for your team.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

One day you’ll actually miss the grind. You’ll miss working hard to improve and reach your goals. So cherish every practice you have!
