The #1 skill missing from today’s athlete is mental toughness. Refusing to hold oneself accountable to individual and team goals. Blaming others for circumstances. Not fighting through adversity. Pouting and poor body language. Physical skill can only take you so far. Get tough!!

Baseball season ended today in Palatka, FL in South District Championship with a 7-1 loss to St John’s River! Thank you to our players, Assistant coaches, our school administration, and our loyal fans for supporting OUR TEAM this year!

Being "good," is about being willing to grow, about "knowing that you don't know," and always being hungry for more. It's about sacrifice and adaptation. Realizing that there's always more to do and that if you really want to find out how good you can be you must keep grinding!!!

Good teams don’t always win…TOGETHER teams always do!! Getting players to buy into YOUR plan/vision, understand their role, be good teammates…the absolutes to successful teams!!!

Open your eyes!

Feel good batting practice (not a fan) is ironic because you’re saying that you want to feel good when it doesn’t matter and feel bad when it matters. Compete against yourself, get in routine in and then challenge yourself in the batters box every single day.

Original 7/9/23 very powerful…Former player of mine is a Navy Seal…told me this “most guys tying to be a Navy SEAL don’t make it thru Hell week because they’re dreaming it to be over, ones who make it focus on making it to breakfast.”Don’t worry about tomorrow. Win the today!

Mental Toughness-tough people aren’t more talented. Just more consistent! The most mentally tough people aren’t immune to adversity. Everybody experiences adversity, they learn to embrace criticism and are flexible, adaptable. Your mind is either helping or hurting...YOU choose

Want to go worse as a player? Play the game in noncompetitive environments. Mind gets infected when you think you are playing to get reps. Not playing to get “reps” playing to WIN!! Play to compete, play to win!! Find a way!!! Play EVERY game to win…winning breeds winning!!

Progress over perfection. 3 mental strengths ELITE PLAYERS bring to the table… 1. Impatient, great desire to be better NOW!! 2. Firm believer they can always improve 3. More addicted to the process ( enjoy the work) more than winning!!!

You can’t cheat the Grind: It knows how much you’ve invested, it won’t give you NOTHING you haven’t worked for…players who enjoy the grind have the ability to become great players!! Earn It!!!

You can improve toughness, no one is born with it!! It's a talent/skill that can be acquired through NOT QUITTING!! I think of it like building a callus with many layers to the callus!! Toughness is developed, not inherited. Takes resilience, endurance and NOT quitting attitude!!

What separates you from the competition? You must continually evaluate yourself and your performances. The majority of players are incredibly average or below average because they're doing NOTHING to SEPARATE themselves from the competition! What are you doing to become GREAT?

Playing time is YOUR responsibility. Want to play more…create more value to OUR team, how can YOU make OUR team better?!?!

Be a TEAM others want to be like, NOT a team that wants to be LIKE OTHERS!!
