It’s when we struggle, have a bad game, two or three, is when we have a great opportunity to develop leadership & respect. How? Because it’s easy to be “the guy” when all is going great. But being “the same guy” when it’s not, shows you can walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

You don’t need more motivation;

You need better habits.

It's real easy to show up to the yard when everything is going good. I personally like to see how players handle the lows. It tells me more about them.

[Eric Cressey @EricCressey]

Never underestimate the power of doing seemingly mundane things incredibly well over a long haul. Some of the really boring stuff you’ll never see on Instagram can be very impactful if you do it every day - and with attention to detail - for a long time.

[SNY UConn Women’s Basketball @SNYUConn]

Geno Auriemma gives his thoughts on the high number of players in the NCAA women's transfer portal:

"If you can't play for me, you can't play for us - you can't play anywhere at this level. Those 850 players in the portal? 300 of them are not going to find a school to go to"

[John Peabody @PeabodyHitDev]

“So the way we get taught is when the pitcher breaks, you break. When he comes forward, that’s when you go forward. I don’t want to swing when I’m up. I wanna swing once I’m down. Then everything is from the backside coming forward.“ Francisco Lindor

[Seth McClung @Seth_3773]

Of the top 5 players that I’ve ever coached:
-I never had to tell them to:

-Get a foul Ball
-Run a ball out
-Carry equipment
-Run on or off the field

Special players don’t have to be told to do the little things, they understand the little things make them Special.

Keep an eye on this kid, i know we are!!

[NorCalU @NorCalU1]

Good debate lately on some people saying kids are soft these days. We don’t buy it. Doing a disservice to let it happen. We are not their buddy, we are there to teach and mentor. Appreciate us in 10 years. @NorCalBaseball @_JeremyBooth @HillOrsino @topflightbaseb1 @PaulWiebens

Thursday night @RacersBaseball pregamed conference play with a Dave and Busters outing. They combined their tickets to win their new homerun panda. I am all in on the homerun panda

[Travis Turner @turnershow]

Wisest leader of men, ever.

Buck Showalter says he’s not a fan of random/famous quotes of encouragement being posted in or around the clubhouse. If it was up to him, Showalter said he would just post one sign, saying: “Play better.”

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

I played D1 baseball on a team that made a regional and continues to make regionals almost every year. my head coach is still there. One thing i learned from him early is to keep our chirp game in house. Have fun, go crazy for us. Dont disrespect the opponent. Keep it with us.

@JasonKarem @racersWBBcoach Hey, brother, I’m just trying to break even…

[Travis Turner @turnershow]

As @racersWBBcoach now stands at 74-70 in her career, she joins Coach Childers as the only coaches in program history to coach at least 100 games and have a winning percentage above .500.

[Travis Turner @turnershow]

My research suggests that this 20-win season is actually the sixth such season in Racer women’s basketball history. Two 20-win seasons for Childers, one each for Felton, Adams, Cross, and Turner. Single season record for wins is 24 (Adams, 07-08).

[Travis Turner @turnershow]

And to put this recent run of success in sharper focus, the 7th 20-win season in program history is only the 15th winning season, period, in 55 seasons.

[Travis Turner @turnershow]

Three coaches in program history have had back to back winning seasons in program history (yes, you read that right, in 55 seasons). Carrie Allison had back to back winning seasons in 1931-1932. Bud Childers had three straight winning seasons, 1987-1989. And now @racersWBBcoach.

[Murray State Women's Basketball @RacersWBB]

For the first time since 2008-09, the Racers have won 20 games in a single season.

It is the 7th time in program history that MSU has achieved the milestone.

Could a league’s lowest paid coach also be its best coach? 🤨
