A phrase coaches should repeat 1000x:

"Don't mistake good results for permission to abandon the process."

"Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

The teachers and coaches that impact lives the most are the ones who pushed you beyond your comfort level.

The real world is tough; our job is to make sure our players are equipped to handle it.

[Colin Jonov @ColkyJonov10]

Trot Nixon said it in high school:

"My goal is to be the best hitter to ever walk the face of the earth."

Most people would never say that out loud. The fear of being judged for wanting too much keeps the goal small and the life smaller.

He wasn't afraid.

He didn't wear it on a shirt. But it lived in every rep.

And in 2004, he was in right field when the Red Sox reversed the curse.

Here's the lesson:

Clarity of ambition isn't arrogance. It's direction.

You can't hit a target you're too afraid to name.

That's discipline. Not motivation. Motivation is a feeling.

Discipline is an identity.

Jeremiyah Love faced the lowest rate of light boxes in this draft class last season (35.2% of his attempts).

When he did face a box with 6 or fewer defenders (70 attempts), he averaged 9.1 yards per carry, the most in the country.

Jets DC Steve Wilks comments on Baker Mayfield getting cut by Wilks in Carolina:

"I don’t think an interim coach has much say over personnel. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have gotten rid of our best player, Christian McCaffrey."

Jamie Arnold is headed to the A’s

One of my favorite college arms, Jamie has a prototypical long lefty motion in a plethora of pitches to choose from.

Baseball is ruthless sometimes. And players that care…. I mean really care, have a hard time overcoming the feeling they have let down their team, coaches, and fan base by making a mistake that changes an outcome. We (players) wear our mistakes and if not careful, will can let them define us. For a long time… The CWS is the biggest stage of college baseball. My heart goes out to any player who makes a mistake that becomes pivotal in the outcome. I sure hope everyone around any player that is crushed, will lift them up immediately. Baseball is a game. It does not define us. I hope no one would ever make social media posts bashing a college athlete for a mistake they made. They are in the arena. And crap happens sometimes. They are all putting their heart on the line. Every single pitch. The weight of what a player feels they are responsible can be crushing… and it’s even worse in the world of social media, where it gets shown over and over.

How about a @ClarionBaseball team, winners of nine straight ballgames? The Golden Eagles are now 15-9 and 7-1 to start PSAC play, what a great start for Johnny Poss and Co.

They got a big test coming up next weekend against a solid Cal U team.

"First-pitch strikes. 2 out of the first 3. Those are the big ones."
