Congrats @coachrc44! Great hire @ULM_MBB!

This is the America I grew up in. I hardly recognize her.

I don't care what anyone says, life was just better back then

“You can’t have them without a relationship.” That’s the KEY phrase here!

COACHING

Congrats @SharpeAllen !

The middle school coach is dreaming about being on the high school staff The freshman coach is dreaming about being on the varsity bench. The varsity assistants are dreaming about being the varsity head coach. The varsity head coach is dreaming about being on a college staff. The college assistants are dreaming about being the college head coach. Moral of the story. The job you’re discontent with is someone else’s dream. The best advice I ever received: “Be where your feet are.” It completely changed my mentality. Don’t waste moments. Don’t wish away your process. Don’t take the job you do have for granted. Keep grinding, Coach!

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago: “When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

Hard coaching without relationship produces resentment. Relationship without hard coaching produces entitlement. The sweet spot is a player who knows you love them and knows you will not lower the bar for them.

As an AD, I learned a long time ago that making everyone happy is impossible. So I choose to be an open book and shoot it straight, focusing on what’s controllable and what’s in the best interest of our athletes as a whole.

You can be a fierce competitor and not disrespect your opponent You can be a fierce competitor and not try to show up the other team You can be a fierce competitor and not have some sort of celebration after every hit You can be a fierce competitor and not have punk dugout chirp You can be a fierce competitor and not act like some fake tough guy on the field You can compete hard, play with passion, be tough, have fun, encourage your teammates, believe you’re the best… But don’t act like a punk, always respect your opponents, and most importantly, ALWAYS RESPECT THE GAME! #BaseballTruth

Parents poisoning team culture through their kids. Your whispers in the car become their words in the locker room. Choose wisely.

Good day for two! Great weather and my buddy played well! Came in to close out game 1 on the mound. 3 straight Ks to end the game! Also had a couple of hits for the day! Good times!

As an AD with a child who plays sports, I understand the struggle of separating parent, coach, and administrator. My kid has been cut. He has sat the bench. He has had to fight his own battles when things were not going his way and he had to talk to the coach. My kid has found success. My kid has learned to work hard. I have never once spoken on his behalf to a coach. Why? Because learning to advocate for yourself and overcome adversity is what shapes you into who you become. Growth does not come from protection. It comes from perseverance. I do this because I love him.

@SenMullin @HHSGov @GOPHELP Thank you, @SenMullin.

Baseball is back!
