If you think teachers have it easy, you’re in luck. America is currently short more than 400,000 teachers. Give it a try! 😏
Or give subbing a try…to get a taste.

To be a head coach is to take the brunt of everything and stay on the high road……

If you’re an adult who has or teaches children, you have to be willing to not be liked sometimes. It can be hard to be “the bad guy”, but if you’re a parent or a teacher, your job is to help form the character of the children in your life, not be their friend or boost your ego.

The “boring” stuff wins ballgames:
-Backing up the play
-Putting the ball in play
-Moving the runner
-Making the routine plays
-Consistent communication
-Throwing strikes
-Smart baserunning
-Taking your walks
-Getting HBP, holding your ground
-Hitting a cutoff man
-Hustling out everything
*At some point, the “boring” tasks of ⚾️ will win extra games! And more often than not, playoff berths, seedings, playoff wins, and even championships can be determined and decided by what many would call “boring.”
Turn the “boring” into the “important” and that’s how you win!

High school coaches chasing stars at other schools instead of developing the kids in their own program is wild to me.
Build what you have. Develop your backyard. That's real coaching.

Sat in a recruiting meeting once where the conversation about a kid lasted 45 seconds.
His film was good. His measurables checked every box. His grades were fine.
The position coach put his name up, two assistants said "I have heard he is a problem," and the head coach said move on.
45 seconds.
That kid never knew why the offer he expected never came. He spent his whole senior year wondering
what happened.
Coaches are not just building rosters. They are building locker rooms. Every offer is a bet on who you are as a person, not just as a player.
Act accordingly.

If you’ve got very good younger players in high school baseball… play them up.
Challenge them—don’t hide them.
I’ve done it for 12 years—it works.
Will they struggle? Yep
Competing vs older players pays off.
Just FYI This is called development. Thank me later!

I calculated what I’d be giving up if I leave public school: roughly $830,000 over my lifetime, assuming I retire at 65 and live to 80.
This is why so many teachers stay once they’ve put in 10 years. The financial handcuffs are real.
But money doesn't buy happiness, so I'm choosing to exit the insanity.
About 35 more school days left until my next adventure begins.

The American education system is fixated on finding the latest method or system to get students reading and writing.
Unfortunately, no hack exists. Reading is sometimes dull. Writing is often hard.
You can’t entertain yourself to an education.

PLAYERS: When you become a "𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨" type player then you truly become a valuable teammate and your team's culture is strengthened. Great teams have great teammates!

You will never see a great team where coaches or team leaders are soft on teammates who are just going through the motions.

Allowing players to act like fools is easy and takes zero effort.
Influencing and mandating players to take pride in playing with class and respect require extraordinary effort.
The programs that play with class and respect, usually prepare like champions. Because the program is built around accountability and respect.
Teams and players should say very little when they lose and even less when they win.

Watching college baseball and kudos to the @FresnoStateBSB coach for taking out his starting SS and two hole hitter for not running hard out of the box. Accountability and playing hard regardless of the situation has been lost in the game. Good to see leadership like that.

Hitters
Fight your ass off with 2 strikes.
Spread out, choke up, take the plate away and refuse to strikeout.
It's you vs the man on the mound.
Don't let him beat you.
It's personal.
It's a competition.
Remember.
The only time it's acceptable to strikeout looking is with a full count on an expanded strike call.
Shrink the zone and don't expand in full counts.
Expand the zone with 2 strikes until the count goes full.
Then shrink the zone.
