I coached for 24 seasons. We had some big games. At no point was I as nervous as I’ve been the past two days when dropped my 13 year old off for his first football practices.

This. 1000 times. In most relationships in life. But especially working with young people.

Kids aren’t the same but parents are officially out of control in youth sports. Trainers, private coaches, homework, year round grind. You will snatch the love of the game away before you create a hall of famer. Play all the sports.

Still…

Today in 1997, Greg Maddux tosses a 76-pitch complete game. I believe this is also known as "4 innings" to most current starting pitchers.

Don't just teach your children how to be successful, teach them how to respond when they are not successful, teach them how to handle failures and learn from their mistakes.

1. Why are the equipment managers giving the players the flags? Put them away after pregame. 2. Stop planting the flags at other team’s stadiums. U look dumb and classless. 3. If you don’t like it, recruit better and play better and coach better DURING THE GAME. Everyone is

Love Marty Smith ‘s Neumann gloves #oldschool

One of the kindest, most sincere, passionate, loving people I have ever met. And when he looked at you with that twinkle in his eye, you knew he was proud of you. He would still tell you, but he didn't have to. He made a lot of boys into better men.

I’ve been looking forward to this for a while! Jeremy Haymore
