Great job @JacobHughes51 and @lukeapplegate25 !!

I had a .526 AVG (10-19) with a .609 OBP in this past week’s tournament, the PG Wood Bat World Series. With a 3B and a HR. Also hit 87 mph of the mound. Next up is the Alpha Invitational. @PG_OhioValley @Mike_Canan @PFFlyers2028 @alphabsb @PrepBaseballOH

@CoachBeede Prepare good questions

Parents who have lived through an August 1 with an older son: if you could sit across the kitchen table from a 2028 family tonight, what is the one thing you would tell them to do in the next two weeks? Give them the real version, not the brochure version. Best answers get shared here with credit before the month is out.

Your son's summer coach talks to college coaches more often than you think. The reference he gives is built into Tuesday practices, not Friday tournaments. Your son should act accordingly all week.

She's been at our shelter since 2013. Eleven years. Every person who met her said she was wonderful. Every person walked past her kennel and chose a younger dog. She stopped coming to the front of her kennel a few years ago. Stopped performing. Made a quiet peace with being where she was." Last Tuesday a veteran came in. He said — "I need a calm dog. I'm still learning how to be still myself." I showed him three dogs. He was putting his jacket on to leave. He stopped outside kennel seven. Luna looked at him from her bed. Didn't perform. Didn't come to the front. Just looked at him the way she looks at people when she decides they're worth seeing. He said — "Can I sit with her?" He sat on the concrete floor at her level. Not the bench. The floor. That was 11am. At 3pm I looked in. He was still there. Her white muzzle was in his hand. Their breathing had synchronized. At 3:15 he came to the front desk and said — "I'd like to take her home. I think we need each other." I excused myself to the back room and sat on an overturned bucket and cried for a long time. He texted me yesterday — "First time I've slept through the night in three years. I think she was saving that for me." She was. Eleven years of saving it. For one Tuesday. For him. Drop a ❤️ for Luna. Share this for every senior dog still waiting for their Tuesday. They're saving everything they have for the right person to walk through that door.

It’s crazy that Landon Thome is the kid that Jim Thome’s wife was pregnant with when she was crying in the crowd when he hit his 500th HR. And now he is a White Sox.

I just worked with this college player this morning. We had a short window before it started raining again in Nashville. The key today wasn't his swing. It was what he said before every swing. I had him say out loud: "I have the best swing in the world." Every time he hit the baseball hard, we reinforced it. Every time he didn't, instead of beating himself up, he immediately said: "That's not me." Then we moved on to the next swing. No negative self-talk. No dwelling on mistakes. Just confidence... and the next pitch. The result? He hit more line drives than I had ever seen from him. He drove balls all over the field and even hit one 390 feet with a wood bat to the warning track. Try this at your next hitting session: • Before every swing, say: "I have the best swing in the world." • When you hit it hard, reinforce it. • When you don't, immediately say: "That's not me." • Then move on to the next swing. Your brain believes what it hears repeatedly. Make sure it's hearing something worth believing. Thank you for reading. - Jermaine Curtis P.S. If you enjoyed this and found it helpful, share it.

I don’t know Jacob personally, his dad is a total stud…but wow this video was awesome. Play other sports and learn other skill sets. Learn to love the work it takes to be great. So many great lessons every athlete should hear regardless of sport. Congrats Jacob
