Hitters
Refuse to strikeout.
Spread out, choke up, take the plate away, grit your teeth and compete.
It's a competition.
It's you vs the man on the mound.
It's personal.
One day, the games will end.
- No more bus rides.
- No more practices.
- No more game days.
But the memories will stay forever:
- The teammates.
- The laughter.
- The moments that made it all worth it.
Cherish every second.
Players: There's never been an easier time to be an absolute dirtbag in the game than right now.
Here are a few ways to stand out amongst the crowd that every player can do:
▪️Sprint on & off the field. 1st one on, 1st one off
▪️Run your best home to 1st time on every ball you hit
▪️Throw the ball with purpose when taking gbs in between innings
▪️Show your best pop times in between innings
▪️Stay up when you fail. Studs don't doubt
▪️Show up early & leave late
▪️Wear your uniform properly. Jersey always tucked in. Belt on. Hat on straight. The way the uni fits you matters.
▪️Win & lose with class. No poor sports & no shoving it into the opponents face when you win.
▪️Shake the umpire hands before & after the game & thank them for calling the game
▪️Be a great teammate. A selfless one. Pick others up when they're down.
▪️Be a leader regardless of how your day is going. It's easy to lead when things are going your way. Lead when it's your hardest day & you'll gain respect from everyone.
Talent will get you in the door, but the intangibles will keep you there! 👊🏻
Baseball can be psychologically defeating one day, then the next day it can make you feel unstoppable.
I hope today your love of the game and the work you put into it, makes you feel unstoppable.

I will never not get to the airport 2 hours early
Might be a psycho take, but there’s nothing better than getting to the airport, finding a little corner, locking in on music and surfing the state
Call me crazy but I love it
Workouts are tough
Studying is tough
Getting up early is tough
Being a backup is tough
Starting is tough
Leading is tough
Winning is tough
Losing is tough
Fact is, most of LIFE is tough.
CHOOSE your TOUGH, give it your ALL, and OWN IT!

Your cell phone doesn't belong in the weight room, cages or dugout.
Clear your mind and give the weight room, cages and team your undivided attention.
Lock in and compete.
