Players...don't confuse good advice with negativity! At times the most valuable advice is the opposite of what you want to hear! The people that care about you will keep it REAL with YOU!

What percentage of HS players think they are good at simply throwing and catching? My guess, 95% plus. In reality, about 25% of HS players are actually good at throwing and catching! It has to be practiced intentionally every day! Throwing and catching is prerequisite #1.
Wolves Baseball falls to Dixie at home tonight 10 to 2. Saint Francis was lead by @TheRealMLBell who went 2 for 3 with a 2B and a 💣. We go on the road to face Bronson Thursday.
Leaders...It's OK to call your teammates out! It's OK to hold your teammates accountable! It's OK to hurt your teammates feelings! But you better be holding yourself to the highest standards! You better be leading by example on and off the field! You better be walking the walk!
As a coach, I know we’ve made progress when the team stops asking “who” do we play next, & instead simply asks “when & where”?
Spartans didn’t ask how many soldiers they were fighting, but simply, “where are they?”
High school athletes:
You have the rest of your life to master yoga, train for marathons, compete in CrossFit and look like a body builder.
From 13-22, train like an athlete.
Your future self will thank you.
