I don’t show this much, but I constantly communicate with our players: building them up, teaching them, encouraging, and holding them accountable. I truly care about them. Some people have adverse opinions; I get it… but they don’t see this side of things.
I am against “Daddy Ball” in any form. But, it’s tough being the “Coach’s Kid”. I fail to celebrate Caden sometimes, so… this one’s for you buddy. I’m your Number 1 Fan; always and forever.
Day 1 - Winter Practices.
Bring them together.
Unite with Purpose.
Love them unconditionally.
3 Positives: 1 Opportunity for Improvement
As Coach, I’ve humbled myself and understand where I must improve. Now, it’s time to put it into action.
“The last thing you think is the first thing you do.”
•Being intentional with our thoughts is a trainable skill.
•Focus on what we WANT rather than what we don’t want.
•Think back to our successful times, want the opportunity to do it again.
Able to do this cleans up & locks in so many hitters. Backside with power 🔥
• Swinging from behind, inside
• Trusting self to get it done
• Swing depth
• Posture over plate
Big improvements over the course of the summer from Caden.
Looking forward to seeing similar results from the boys this winter as we wrap up our fall season.

Beliefs & actions create a culture.
Culture builds habits.
Habits build champions.
“Culture eats strategy for lunch. What separates the good from the great, & always has, was the culture. And the belief & the trust that the players have in the staff & in each other. ”@SheaRalph
