The bats were 🔥 for the @NEGOLD15U yesterday scoring 26 runs in two games and and they hit for both average and 💪, including this 💣 by @HaydnWirth2029 in game ☝🏻!

Went to a HS game yesterday. Had a D1 coach come meet me there to watch a kid. During the game, the team’s catcher would sprint to his position every inning. He’s an underclassman, the D1 coach wasn’t there for him, he is now on that coaches radar. Some things preached at every level - ▪️sprint to your spot between innings ▪️show off your arm in between innings ▪️serious throws in the INF/OF and as a catcher You can be 0-3 and still make an impression

Beth and I are getting a taste of being parents and not coaches for the day!

On Sunday morning we were already running late for church when I walked upstairs and saw a thick yellow puddle outside my son’s door. If you’ve got young kids, you know that nothing good ever comes in that color. I looked at him and asked, “What is this?” He stared at the floor and whispered, “Eggs.” At first I was annoyed. Why in the world would he bring eggs to his room? And because we were late, my patience was thin. So instead of reacting, I walked away for a minute to breathe. When I came back, I got down on his level and said calmly, “Buddy… what happened up here?” He looked up at me with complete seriousness: “Daddy, I kept them in my drawer for two days but they didn’t hatch… and when I checked on them, I accidentally dropped them.” He was trying to hatch refrigerator eggs. My frustration instantly turned into laughter. And when I laughed, I watched his whole body relax. His guard dropped. We were able to talk about why eggs don’t belong in bedrooms without crushing his imagination. It taught me something I never want to forget as a parent: Kids aren’t trying to make our lives harder. They’re learning, testing, imagining, exploring. Our job isn’t to kill that curiosity to save a few minutes of convenience. Our job is to guide them patiently so their creativity grows, not shrinks. Let them be kids. Correct them but don’t crush them because their wonder is a gift worth protecting.

Everyone wants to win. Few are willing to do what it takes. The gap between the two is where champions are made. Close the gap.

JULIAN. So deserving. Keep doing big things 💙 @julianseverson7

My girls having some BIG freshman and sophomore seasons 🥹

When you’re picking a college, go where you are wanted and where you will play. Don’t worry about the social media post, that only lasts a few days, your college choice will last a lifetime!

@Kenadie_barton @MSUM_Softball Aww congrats Bart!

Once a drag always a drag!! #committed

So sick of “D1 or Bust” mentality. And for what? So your parents can tell people at a dinner party? 6-7% of HS athletes even GET the opportunity to play in college IF you even get the chance to play at the next level...GO where you can play four more years. THATS what matters.

🥹🥹🥹 i know a few of these faces ❤️
