I played for this man for 3 years. He came to my wedding and traveled to watch me play in the big leagues many times. He gave me a D1 scholarship when no one else wanted a 5-11 175lb catcher from Florida. He meant more to me than any other coach I’ve ever played for, and that is saying a lot. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have had the mental toughness, mentality, or grit this game demands of you in order to play at this baseballs highest level. I have a quote I like to tell my players. “If you don’t like it, play better.” The game of baseball is strictly merit based. You have to earn it. Even at the youth level. Ages 12 and below, I’m good with everyone playing and learning the game. Above that age, then you have to earn your spot. There is a point where the player has to choice to work for it, or not. Puberty is the time that it generally happens in my opinion. As a side note, if your kid isn’t the best player when he’s 12, don’t panic. Development takes time, and once puberty hits, the physical change happens quick. RIP Coach Robe.

Every parent, coach and player should listen to this. Maybe listen twice just to let it sink in.

Competing isn’t about creating perfect outcomes. It’s about surviving imperfect conditions. If you’re waiting for the ideal setup to execute, you’ll never get it. Real competitors figure it out in real time.

I’ve been doing this for 22 seasons. No group has challenged me the way this one has. These dudes love each other & have taught me a lot about myself. Talented, but inexperienced, not many outside our clubhouse gave them a chance. But here they are with another shot at the title.

Travel Ball World 📢 I would much rather a Pitcher build up to throw 60 pitches on a Sat or Sunday Instead of 30-40 Saturday and 30-40 Sunday Idk why the latter has become so popular but those types of back to back workloads are incredibly rare even at the highest levels with fully mature men Consolidate the Workloads!

In every culture there are people who provide, who work. They offer value. They truly care. They are “fountains” of growth & progress. There are also “drains” that only take away & use the value created by others for their own selfish gain... I am thankful for the fountains.

Nick Saban said, "To be a good player on your team, you have to affect someone else on the team. You have to cause them to play better by the way you play." The best players make their teammates better. How do you make your teammates better?

This is why your best player needs to be your best teammate "If a 3-time MVP can do it, I can do it to."

At one point this season, this group was 5-5 & 0-1 in the region. Tonight, they punched their ticket to the State Championship. We watched this group grow together this spring. They are special & I am glad they took me along for the ride. Job’s not finished. #FLEET
