“...Our value is based not on what we do but on who made us.”

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"I wanted to be coached.
I wanted a coach that would take me to a place where I probably wouldn't go if I tried my hardest still."

Don’t seek praise—seek the push.
Average players want to feel good now.
Great players crave the coaching that makes them elite tomorrow.

@stewartkels7 Should have let it play out. Then did an umpires review if he thinks he saw something. Then the call on the field could stand

@CollinRugg Actually most schools tell you not to jump in

Nothing makes me more angry than being told to pull up and they will bring more order to me. 😂 almost immediately makes me mad. Haha

Nick Saban said, "There can be no great victories in your life unless you overcome adversity. You can’t be a great competitor unless you overcome adversity. That's mental."
•It takes grit.
•It takes toughness.
•It takes persistence.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Tom Brady said, "If we all work hard, we all put the team first, we have great commitment to one another, then we'll be able to achieve something special."

Great teams come together.
• They trust.
• They commit.
• They hold you accountable.

Great teams don't let dysfunction take over because they know the importance of trust, sacrifice, communication, and commitment.

Teamwork is a choice.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team according to Patrick Lencioni
1. Absence of Trust - Trust is the foundation of any team. When team members are reluctant to be open up and communicate, it blocks trust and performance. Overcoming this requires openness and the willingness to share weaknesses and fears without fear of reprisal.

2. Fear of Conflict - Healthy conflict is essential for growth. Teams that avoid conflict out of fear of discord end up with unresolved issues and tension. Encouraging open and constructive conflict leads to better decision-making and problem-solving.

3. Lack of Commitment - Without commitment, teams cannot achieve their goals. This dysfunction arises from ambiguity in direction and priorities. Setting clear goals and creating active buy-in from team members are crucial for commitment.

4. Avoidance of Accountability - When team members are not held accountable, standards start to slip. A culture where people are regularly held responsible for their performance creates a sense of collective responsibility and excellence.

5. Inattention to Results - The ultimate goal of any team should be collective results. When individual goals overshadow team goals, it leads to stagnant progress. Emphasizing shared success is essential for driving team performance.

"Teamwork is not a virtue, but rather a choice. It's a strategic decision and an intentional one." - Patrick Lencioni

@bgoodrich210 She did nothing wrong. Second baseman kicked back off the bag 2.5 ft , the base runner as a retired runner got out of the way as the ball passed and the second baseman threw a strike to 1B without changing anything. She didn’t get the DP bc of her mechanics.

@ball_nparley @ncaasoftballstf All possible, just a mass exodus from a great coaches program is strange. However, who really knows these days. 😂

@BLester1993 The whole playoff system in general should be revamped for softball/baseball

The @FWB_SB lineup has no holes, @Ava_Smith2024 is dialed in & @AlyxHall3 is assaulting cars in parking lots with prodigious HRs.

On to the Sweet 16 for @GrayT21 & Co. Only game in town Tuesday. Be there at FWBHS to watch. Thank me later.
