Every 6:00am lift you didn’t feel like going to, every late night paper you wrote to make sure you made grades, every party you missed, every extra cut you took in the cage after everyone else turned in....the dog pile justifies it all.

First baseball practice at UST since 1969....can’t even begin to express how grateful I am to lead these young men. The rain moved us inside, but the guys adapted and got AFTER IT, it’s going to be a fun ride!

PLAY MULTIPLE SPORTS. We LOVE recruiting multi-sport athletes!
Additionally, if any select/travel ball coach is telling a 12 yr old that they need to consider focusing on just one sport...they just mean they want you to focus on paying them all year versus just part of it.

As coaches we should measure success in the amount of kids who call us later in life for marriage advice, help buying their first house, and job references.
We have a unique opportunity in our profession to change 30-40 lives every single year...how cool is that?

Son, today would have been your first birthday. Instead of thinking of all of the things that could have been, I choose to think about all of the amazing things that you were able to give to us in just 12.5. I love you Ace Nolan VanderLaan, and I can’t wait to hold you again.

IF you’re lucky enough to play college baseball, you’re only guaranteed 4 more years to play the game you love. Go where you’re a PRIORITY and can squeeze out every last inning that you can!
Players need to get over D1 love affair. Many D2/D3 programs have produced big leaguers. It's just a number; go where you can play/develop.

Let’s not forget, we are shaping men first & foremost, ball players second. If we spent more time on Twitter discussing the best ways to teach our guys servant leadership, rather than at each other’s throats about launch angle & weighted balls, think of where our game could be.

Oakland’s season is on the line & they’re down 2 in the 5th with men @ 1st and 2nd nobody out...a bunt would put you a base hit away from tying it w/less than 2. Instead you leave them & take 2 daddy hacks for fly outs and then a K to end the inning. Welcome to the MLB in 2018.

As a head coach, I want to surround myself with assistants that are smarter than me. If I’m ever the smartest guy in the office, there’s a problem...and I’m not too proud to admit that haha

Potential student athletes...coaches come and go, but the institution will always be there. Sure the coach should play a factor, but pick the SCHOOL that fits you best. This is about you and your life, don’t just pick a coach if it’s not the best for your future.

If some anyone out there thinks that coaches only care about “the good players” or winning percentages, watch the emotion in this man.
Today, I sat down with Danny Schmitz who has been the head baseball coach at BGSU for the last 30 years. On Friday, he learned that the program was being cut. This is part of the emotional conversation. I'll have more with Danny later.

Sounds morbid but hear me out. You WILL die, that should be your biggest motivator in life. I can’t understand or accept that laziness or setting your goals low is okay. Time is NOT renewable. Invest in your relationships, your craft and your dreams...not Fortnite or Netflix.

With the pitching talent at the collegiate level generally on a level playing field...most of the time it’s the guys who are mature enough to approach their craft like Arrieta, and don’t simply go through the motions, that succeed.

The new recruiting statement I hear all the time is something along the lines of ..... “He only throws 68...but he hit 100 on a run and gun last month.”
