The first EVER NCAA D1 Baseball coach to jump straight to a manager position in an MLB dugout with no pro experience.
Definition of greatness. Thank you Tony V.
Culture isn’t a one-time speech.
It’s not a sign on the wall.
It’s what you allow, what you emphasize, and what you live, every day.
Your team feels it.
Visitors sense it.
And it shows up in every practice, rep, and routine.

Coaches, what you say to your players matters.
Words matter.
Here are 5 phrases that I believe all athletes need to hear from their coaches.
1. “I believe in you.”
Building in confidence in your players is critical for their success.
And team success.
And the words of the coach has a huge role in this.
Statements that show athletes that you believe in the impact they can have on a team are incredibly important.
2. “ The process is the prize.”
Being on the team and participating in sports is a journey.
Success does not happen overnight.
There will be ups and downs.
It is critical that kids know the process is what is important.
Help your athletes find joy in the journey.
3. “Failure is Growth.”
The fear of failure is something that holds many athletes back.
It is so important for kids to understand that failure is part of the process.
They need to have a failure as growth mentality.
Teach your athletes to not fear failure.
4. “Be great at what you’re good at.”
Role definition is critical on teams.
And too many coaches forget this.
Put athletes in a position where they can be successful.
Find a role that utilizes their strengths.
Encourage them to ‘be great at what they are good at.’
5. “Your role is important.”
Finally, every role matters on a team.
And it is critical for coaches to celebrate all of these roles.
Make sure your players know their value to the team.
“I will never take these opportunities for granted. But it is so much greater than what goes on on that dirt.”
