To watch a group succeed that was built by someone who is no longer the leader is hard. However, to still cheer for those you saw greatness in, that is leadership. Title is just a title...
The images of illegal third-world migrants storming over the borders of Spain, while their leftist government does nothing about it, are completely insane.
Oh, wait-- this was America's southern border the last time the Democrat Party was in power.
Kids and hitters should listen to this guy the best hitter ever didn’t worry about exit velo launch angle HR that’s y he was the best he mastered how to hit which kids dont get taught that part of the game
Bryce Harper says constantly hammering young players makes them less likely to deliver when the team needs them most:
“I got a different style of the game. Old school, hard nosed, veteran mentality.”
“For me, I don’t care who you are. Where you come from. What you did prior with another team. When you come into our clubhouse, I want you to feel like you’re at home.”
“I want you to feel like you’re family.”
“A young guy coming up from the minor leagues, If you just hammer him all the time and don’t show him any love. How do you know, in any big spot or any big situation, that you’re going to get the best out of him?”
“He’s going to be sitting there going, ‘They hate me.’ ‘They don’t like me.’ I don’t want that.”
“I want guys to enjoy the big leagues. It goes quick. He could be in the big leagues for four days. And that’s all he gets. And his only memory is his team getting on him.”
“I just want guys to be comfortable. If I feel like I need to speak, I'll speak.”
Everybody underestimates a guy like this, but his coach, his team and this cheerleader saw the potential for greatness and he definitely exceeded their expectations 🥰
Love to see the underdogs succeed!

Barry Bonds says young players usually ignore him until they’re 2-for-30, and then he simply reminds them of they're talent:
“Sometimes they’ll walk by me. Then other times they’ll be like, ‘Hey Barry, what do you see?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, you must be two for 30.’ You need a little church right now.”
“I’m only there for the information if you need it. Everything else is your path. You did this before you ever met me. You have to understand how good you already are just to be here. There’s always going to be somebody a little bit better than you.”
“You’ve got to understand your talent. Then get the best out of your talent.”
“They’re like, ‘Well, I’m not you.’ That’s the first thing you got right. You ain’t me. Let’s be the best version of yourself. Take this information. Whatever you don’t like that I say, throw it in the garbage. I don’t care.”
“It’s your journey. It’s not my journey. I’m just here to help you get to the journey you’re choosing.”
“Each conversation I have with each person is different. One method is not going to work with this guy. I have to tailor it. Tailor it to what works for them. Sometimes it’s just redirecting the mind for great athletes.”
We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP
When people ask me what one of the biggest predictors of a competitive kid is, my answer is usually the mom. Over 25 years of coaching, I’ve noticed that when Mom is competitive—a true dog—more often than not, her kids are too. Dads absolutely play a major role as well, but if I had to pick one trait that consistently shows up in competitive kids, it’s having a mom with that same fire.
Thats a wrap. Spring 2026.
One we will always remember.
A couple of really fun post-season runs. Get some rest and take back the summer! ☀️😎 @USYouthSoccer@SoccerIndiana@NationalLeague
