One of the traits of a great coach and leader is that they identify and magnify the strengths of those they lead. This one simple act grows their motivation, confidence and belief.

Nobody will ever appreciate your process, the work, or the hours you put in like you do. So don’t let being undervalued or overlooked get to you. Just keep working and always remember the real ones.

One of the battles of leadership is confronting people who are happy and comfortable with mediocre. Average is easy – Greatness is not

Weak leaders avoid difficult conversations. Great leaders have difficult conversations. The longer you delay, the harder the conversation gets and the more the bitterness and disconnect grows. Show up, believe the best, speak the truth in love, get better, move forward.

Geno Auriemma said, "Your contribution doesn’t have to be 25 points. But it has to be something." "Your number one contribution is the energy you bring." You don’t have to score to make an impact. Great teammates bring energy, effort, and attitude.

You’ll never unlock your potential as long as you’re comfortable saying yes to average. Level up. Lean into the uncomfortable. Raise your standard.

What is the cost of leadership? It costs $0 to say “hello.” It costs $0 to pick up trash It costs $0 to say “please.” It costs $0 to be kind It costs $0 to say “thank you.” It costs $0 to encourage others It costs $0 to smile Lead by Example. It costs nothing.

Got a big favor to ask of my softball coaching community. Does anyone have an extra bed open for the NFCA convention this year in Vegas? I normally am the one offering up mine, but due to some wild events I no longer have a room at all.

Until it’s my turn, I will cheer for you. I will cheer for us. And when my turn comes, I expect you to do the same. That’s what great teammates do.

My goal for every athlete I've ever coached is that they'll know that I loved them & my hope is that when they get older they’ll realize that those of us who demanded their best, were also the ones who cared about them the most.

Complaining is selfish. Choose gratitude. Choose to contribute. Choose to focus on what you can control.

Stop waiting for fair. Keep showing up. Keep competing. Growth comes from response, not fairness. Earn what’s next.

The biggest mental separator in baseball isn’t confidence. It’s how FAST you can get back to neutral. Winners don’t avoid bad ABs. Winners RECOVER faster than everyone else.

Leaders, be a fan of those you lead. Encourage them. Listen to them. Cheer them on. Fight for them. Celebrate them. Believe in them.

Players see the workouts, the practices, the plays. Coaches see something different. We see people becoming who they are meant to be. And sometimes the biggest gap in a program is understanding what a coach is actually thinking. So here’s the truth… the side players rarely

The Leadership Burden. You can be the standard-bearer or you can build more standard-bearers. When your players take ownership of the culture, the whole team levels up...

Training is often monotonous. It’s not always novel and exciting. Neither is a sport practice. Neither is life. Lock in anyway.
