WELCOME TO ATLANTA, DOMINIC SMITH! #BravesCountry

Love the shout out to Energy Bus. It’s not okay to be moody. Wrote that in Power of a Positive Team. What a great coach!

Despite losing two-time state qualifier Dylan Victor to graduation, @hawk_boys return most of their singles lineup from last year's team: ankenyfanatic.com/2026/03/25/ank…

@RLensmeyer Now…if we can fix whatever is happening with the women’s program 😞

Great way to just squash it and focus on the sweet 16!

You made this place better. Thank you, Coach. #GoJays

VICTORY! Softball secures a 7-3 triumph to sweep today’s doubleheader against Peru State!

Barrel up a ball right at someone? Yeah, that sucks, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Bloop one over the 2nd baseman for a hit? Yeah, not ideal, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Crush one that should’ve been way out, but the stupid wind pushed it back in for a fly out? Yeah, that sucks, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Get fooled on a pitch and roll one over in the 6 hole for an infield hit? Yeah, not ideal, but that’s how it goes sometimes. *Point* 👇🏼 Don’t get emotionally too high or too low, the game usually evens itself out. Sometimes you smash, but get bad results, Sometimes you suck, but get great results. THAT’S HOW IT GOES SOMETIMES! #BaseballTruth

Let’s go @kennedy_p18! Proud of you girl!

permission to fail. Baseball is the most self-esteem defeating sport on the planet. You fail 7 out of 10 times and you're considered elite. Yet young players still equate hits with success. Still tighten up under pressure. Still play scared because they're trying to impress instead of trying to compete. Here's what elite coaches understand: Tension is the enemy. And tension lives where failure isn't allowed. When athletes fear failure, they contract. They play small. They protect themselves instead of competing. The solution isn't more motivation. It's redefining success entirely. Success isn't the hit. It's the quality of the approach. The process. The execution of what you can control—regardless of the outcome. When you give an athlete permission to fail, you give them permission to compete freely. And free competitors are dangerous competitors. @CoachMongero

Seasonal depression seems fake until it’s above 40° and sunny in February and it feels like a choir of angels is singing as you walk up to the gates of heaven

Happy #NGWSD ❤️🥎 #NCAASoftball

@IowaKerri @DrakeSoftball @WPU_Softball @WarriorSoftball @TrumanAthletics Oh Kerri, this pulls at my heart strings. One of the best parts of last years WP season was sitting in the stands with you every game. I'm going to miss you so much this year and cheering for Madi in the circle!

As softball season kicks off for lots of colleges, it will be first spring season not traveling and watching this sport!! Good luck to all of the teams! @DrakeSoftball @WPU_Softball @WarriorSoftball @TrumanAthletics #willmisswatching

Your Impact Extends Far Beyond the Court. Congratulations, Coach 🫶 🌪️🏀🌪️

THE CARDIAC BEARS STRIKE AGAIN

Just my 2 cents: College Sports isn’t where this epidemic started. Did you sign your 6 year-old up for travel sports? 4 different teams in the last year or 2? Did you quit Little League & your School’s rec team to travel to Texas & Florida at age 9. Is every weekend at the Travelodge with your kids numbered sweatshirt on at 8am, blaring some premade, walk up song montage. Did you move your kid to a new school that you don’t even live in multiple times in their high school career?chasing the, it’s so much better there mindset, because the friends parents talked you into it and your excuses was, just wanna be part of winners. Did you have a meeting to get the volunteer parent coach fired or the school’s admin coach fired because he/she didn’t play your kid? Did you pay a personal trainer thousands of dollars all to watch your kid get burned out and tell you this sucks I just wanna play video games? Do you run your kids, social media, YouTube and NIL-potential so that you can market the next big star. Folks, we’re all guilty of wanting something better but stop acting and blaming college sports. That ain’t the problem here. This happens way before they get to college. How much money does it take to buy you or your family? Did you fall for the ole… Better Join the, “ Select”, “Elite”, “Top”, “Premier” Team sales pitch? Only to figure out you just ended up funding the scholarships for the A-Team . ADULTS, kids learn from Adults, they are taught & influenced by Adults. The Great “Coach Baird” always called us Kids, because that’s what we were, immature, impressionable Kids. Loyalty, commitment, integrity, and honesty is taught at the foundation, start there and we fix the issue. I Bleed 💜💛 forever, & I”ll leave you with the legendary “Coach Hart” quote… “Move The Drill, 5 yards Up” GO DAWGS! ☔️

Imagine being a Notre Dame football player, watching this Pop Tart Bowl, knowing you earned the opportunity to play in it, but instead you're sitting at home because your institution threw a temper tantrum. Kids have limited eligibility. Limited time. What a waste. Shameful.

Orgs: When your former players are home from college you better allow them to use your facility for FREE. They have helped you build your brand throughout the years & they set a great example by being at the facility with your current players. Tremendous value! I love having former guys at our practices, working out, & talking to our players that are following in their footsteps.
