Playing multiple sports in high school is a good thing. Some of the best pros in the world didn’t specialize in high school. Being well-rounded is important. Student council, music, arts, working a job.. Do many things in high school to build a well-rounded foundation for your future. Operating within multiple social circles = growth. If you play baseball and are on the debate team you will be a part of two distinct cultures. If you play football and basketball you will progress in a multitude of ways based on the different roles you play on each team, the different styles of coaching, and the culture of each program. Maybe you are all-conference in volleyball but a backup in basketball which you worked equally as hard in. This will teach you a lot about discipline, being a great teammate, role acceptance, and leadership. Adding a part-time job to your schedule in high school is another great way to become well-rounded and create a foundation for the future. It will teach you how to answer to authority, how to work with others, customer service, how to stand up for yourself, money management and more. Diversity in activities and social circles is important. It can be a generational talent like Aaron Judge playing three sports. It can look like a kid at a large school who participates in one sport, one non-sport extracurricular, and works part time. It can be the small school kid who does everything and still helps out with the family business. It’s important for high school students to load up on activities which stimulate personal, academic, and future growth and avoid spending countless hours staring at screens playing video games, scrolling on TikTok, and watching TV.

Someone threw a beer at Trump at the Indianapolis NRA convention. He's fine. It was a draft, so he dodged it perfectly.

@CalltoActivism Adios !!

Trump supporters are threatening to leave the United States if Trump is convicted. What do you say to them?

Well, that settles that question.

BAD Players: don’t take much seriously. AVERAGE Players: take games seriously. GOOD Players: take games & practices seriously. GREAT players: take academics, nutrition, film, warm ups, individual work, weight room, practice, and games seriously. ~ via @TheCoachLJ

Heading “UP NORTH” this weekend. So, I’ll ask the question that has spawned many a bar fight and Twitter squabble: What is “up north” to you?

Actual Earl Weaver conversation with an umpire: Earl: “I’m going to check the rulebook on that.” Umpire: “Here, use mine.” Earl: “That’s no good, I can’t read braille.”

Just cut one of my players for trying to use an oven mitt while base running. If you’re worried about getting cleated just be faster. Ricky Henderson stole 1406 bases in his career and he didn’t have look like he was baking cookies to be fast. #BeElite

Barrel above the hands.

Coaches aren’t in the business of begging players to get in the gym or come to camps, but if you don’t, don’t come later begging for playing time. It doesn’t work that way. Players get playing time by earning it. If you don’t earn it, save yourself the trouble of asking for it!
