So I started my own Baseball Player Development Business that will focus on training players from all skill levels. We will be creating camps ran by active or retired professional coaches, & scouts with the knowledge of player development & skill acquisition. Follow us for more!!
People will always question your athletic ability, your strength, height, intelligence etc. They should NEVER, EVER be able to question your WORK ETHIC!! Leave no doubt!!
A special shout-out to all the seniors graduating tomorrow from
@PaetowHS
especially those baseball boys that I had the pleasure of coaching the past 4 years. To my former students I’m proud of you and look forward to seeing the positive impact you will have in this world.
I believe baseball and softball are the only 2 HS sports that cancel practices and games due to rain!! Those that have turf fields and indoor facilities stay ahead of the competition.
Trust me when I say, at this level nobody cares what select team you played for, if you were a D1 or NAIA player. What is valued is your work ethic and your ability to keep working after failure…
I used to believe, I still do, that if you give something your all, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you've risked everything, put everything out there. And I've done that. I did it my entire life.
Be the best at the stuff nobody else cares about. Work hard, arrive early, stay late, respect the game. All these things are within your control. Do the little things!
2 more coaches added to the coaching staff!! MLB scout, former professional player and WBC participant, and a former D1 player who specializes in player training at all levels!! Camp info drops tomorrow!!

@paetowhoops
Happy 1st day of school to my wife
@MathwithMrsC
and all my educator friends out there!! The students you impact appreciate you even when it feels nobody else does!! Build the relationships and the rest will fall in line. You are more than just curriculum.
As a coach be approachable, be the coach you wanted or had when you played. It opens up communication with players, parents and school staff!! Everyone working together for a common goal!!

2 extremely well coached teams that are in our district. A game with playoff implications will have tons of emotions especially headed into extra innings. The fans are usually worse than the players on the field..
The game of baseball is a pitchers game, they control the game, they know hitter weaknesses, they don’t have to guess… so if you’re struggling at the plate right now, it’s ok, you were meant to fail from the get go….

For all my HS coaching buddies, stay the course, you can’t please everyone!! Do right by those kids day in and day out and the critics will be irrelevant!!

), who played for Katy, leading the Panthers to the 5A/Div 1 state title: “Very proud of him. Proud of the coaching job he did. More proud of the man he’s become. He’s a really…”
Being “coachable” doesn’t mean just listening to what you are being taught, being coachable means listening, understanding and APPLYING what you are being taught.
This is big time, people see an athlete and fail to realize sometimes that you are a human being. You feel, you dwell, you worry, and a smile and success on the field doesn’t always show what is happening inside. Thank you for sharing your story!!
@Blaze_j24
you are not alone!!
Just thought it was finally time to share my story dealing with anxiety and depression after seeing so many stories about it. And I know as an athlete it can be especially hard dealing with these things. You are not alone❤️
You don’t need to “feel” motivated to get started! Motivation and commitment are daily decisions, so find your “why” and the “how” becomes manageable!!
No one is stronger or more dangerous than a man who can harness his emotions, his past. Use it as fuel, as ammunition, as ink to write the most important letter of YOUR life.
Individual growth at anything depends heavily on taking ownership. Take ownership of the mistakes, the shortcomings, the failures and learn from that. Reflect but don’t dwell on them, focus on the changes needed to be better and ready for the next opportunity!!
If you are a young player with the dream to play at the highest stage of college baseball and not watching the CWS then you aren’t serious. Notice the little things, including how nobody wears their pants over their knees!!!

Planting the seed doesn’t guarantee a plant blossoms into something beautiful. You must chose the correct soil, you must nourish and care for it. Most importantly it takes PATIENCE. Do not uproot your plant before giving it a chance.

@DiegoOjeda66
That’s the easy way to look at this. Although I don’t like him we cannot blame one person for a deeper greater problem in our country. We keep spreading hate and hate is what’s causing this epidemic. Do I know the resolution, no but I know the blame game will just divide us more.
Still in awe 🫢 at the amount of parent support we had today!! It really does start at home, SERVICE, LEADERSHIP, and FELLOWSHIP in full display today!! Do for others, even when there is nothing in return!!

IF you care about your TEAM/SCHOOL or ORGANIZATION there is absolutely no excuse for U to not do everything you can to stay away from the activities that can get u sick. As a parent u also need to understand the repercussions of ur actions and what they can do to ur kids future.
Congratulations my guy, this is just the beginning. The ceiling for you is incredibly high, keep reaching and pushing to achieve your goals!!
