More than throwing runners out or framing up pitches, these elite catchers at the WCWS all do a phenomenal job of controlling the tempo of the game & the emotions of their pitchers / defense. They’re the eyes of the field- all 8 other positions look to them all game long.

Assistant coaches are the ROCKS of a program. What do they do? - Build great relationships w/players - Lighten the mood when needed - Bring positive energy every day - Support the head coach - Keep the team focused - Set the tone Celebrate your Assistant Coaches! 🙌

Mike Tomlin said, “The standard is the standard.” What is a standard? It is HOW you do things. - How do you compete? - How hard do you work? - How well do you execute? - How hard do you practice? - At what level do you commit? Raise the Bar.

Drop schedules for this weekend! I will be out looking for future royals! I will be at Pennsbury Thursday/Friday.

Parents Your role at games. 1. Support your son 2. Support your son's teammates 3. Support your son's coaches 4. Treat the opponent, their fans and the umpires with respect 5. Encourage other parents to do the same. 6. Let the coaches do the coaching 7. Don't act like a fool.

This is what a bench of a team that has a championship culture looks like!! Nothing better.

Yes sir!

🚨𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻🚨 "What are you looking for?" Me: "I am beginning to build my '26 class." "...I don't have any of those for you." There were 6 '26s on the sheet. Most wonder why athletes have a "D1 or bust mentality" but I know why, it's 100% learned.

Took some time away from recruiting to hang out with this ginger. ❤️

Woke up early to go see a recruit play at 8am….game was cancelled. Just hanging with the field crew in the parking lot. Reminder to recruits - please inform coaches if your games are cancelled.

Big shout out to LA Fitness who won’t let me cancel big bob’s membership. I hope you have spin classes in the afterlife. Who would have thought that a gym membership was the hardest to cancel when you die……

I’m happy I don’t sit in the stands during our games. Hearing parents rip apart coaching decisions is brutal. I promise they’re doing their best - they really want to win, too. Hard for athletes to trust their coaches if they hear negative rhetoric from the people they love most.

Saw and Stole this Graphic yesterday- Got me thinkin- Why D3? And trust me- The answer is NOT- because you have no other option D3 schools are often smaller campuses that prioritize relationships and involvement- which is probably best way to learn and grow D3 schools provide

Accountability is not about calling someone out, playing "gotcha", or controlling someone else. Accountability is about reminding others of standards, goals, and values. Accountability requires trust, love, and respect.

Excited to be back! 🤘 #GoRoyals
