So incredibly grateful for @swarmredelite and @Miles_Moeller for an amazing summer, and all the opportunities I was blessed with. Summer Stats: (27 Games) - .464 AVG - 39 hits - 42 SB - .554 OBP - 35 runs - 3 strikeouts in 101 PA’s @Brophy_Baseball @JoshGar

2028s: If you’re getting recruiting calls today, good- keep working. If you’re not getting recruiting calls today, good- keep working. Some of the best players I’ve coached didn’t receive their first recruiting call until April of their senior year.

A few swings from this weekend at the PG World Series. Had a fun week at the plate! Tournament: 6 H | 2 HR | 1 2B | 7 RBI | 6 R | 4 BB Thanks to everyone who’s been supporting me this summer. Excited for Dude Day this week!

High school athletic directors occupy one of the most demanding, and rewarding, leadership positions in education. On any given day, they’re expected to be administrators, event managers, marketers, fundraisers, compliance officers, transportation coordinators, counselors, conflict mediators, and public relations specialists. Then, when the lights come on Friday night, they’re simply expected to make sure everything runs flawlessly. It’s a role that’s often misunderstood because the most important work happens behind the scenes. If everything goes according to plan, no one notices. If one small detail falls through the cracks, everyone does. The hurdles are real. Athletic directors constantly balance limited budgets against growing expectations. Facilities need repairs. Equipment wears out. Officials are becoming harder to recruit. Transportation costs continue to rise. State association regulations evolve. Every year seems to bring more responsibility without additional resources. Then there are the people. Every coach wants more opportunities for their program. Every parent wants what’s best for their child. Every booster group has ideas. Every principal has priorities. Every student-athlete deserves an exceptional experience. The challenge isn’t deciding who is right. The challenge is finding a way to serve everyone while understanding that not every request can become reality. Communication may be the single most valuable skill an athletic director possesses. One schedule change can affect multiple schools, officials, transportation departments, custodians, coaches, families, and hundreds of student-athletes. A weather delay can reshape an entire week. One misunderstood email can create unnecessary conflict that takes days to resolve. Great athletic directors understand that overcommunicating is almost always better than undercommunicating. Perhaps the greatest challenge is that athletic directors are often evaluated by outcomes they control the least. They don’t coach the games. They don’t make the shots. They don’t score the touchdowns. Yet when things go wrong, the athletic department is often the first place people look for answers. Despite all of that, few careers offer the rewards this profession does. You watch nervous freshmen become confident seniors. You see struggling students find purpose through athletics. You hire coaches who influence lives far beyond the playing field. You build cultures and traditions that continue long after you’ve moved on. The best athletic directors know that banners eventually collect dust, trophies become decorations, and records are eventually broken. What lasts are the relationships. It’s the former athlete who returns years later to introduce you to their family. It’s the coach who tells you your support helped them through a difficult season. It’s the parent who thanks you not because their child won, but because their child grew. The hours are long. The criticism can be loud. The responsibility is constant. But somewhere in the middle of the chaos, athletic directors help shape students into better and/or more well rounded leaders, teammates, and people . There are few callings more meaningful than that.

Weekend highlights from the mound and at the plate. Full clips on YouTube. Pitching: Competed in the zone with all three pitches, and got some swing-and-miss strike outs. Hitting: Consistently barreled the baseball, hit a home run and another deep drive that just missed. #uncommitted

Had an awesome time with @TroskyTeams in the WWBA’s in Georgia. (Hitting) Stats: AVG: .636 H: 7 BB: 4 2B: 2 @Brophy_Baseball @JoshGar @PG_Scouting @PG_FourCorners

RT @George_millss: Had a great time pitching with @TroskyTeams in the WWBA’s in Georgia. Great team and great coaches. Couldn’t ask for a b…

Cholowsky goes 1st to the White Sox. Hamilton HS, Chandler, AZ Flora goes 4th to the Giants, Foothill HS, Pleasanton, CA Derek Curiel, 5th to the Pirates, Orange Lutheran HS, West Covina, CA First 5 picks and we got kids from Phoenix, NorCal, and SoCal. West coast represent.

If you are too weak to swing the age appropriate bat… choke up.. The same player they are making the new bat rule for will have to play defense against the strong kid using the same bat as the weak kid.
