Most players don’t realize that pro scouts and college coaches like to see them fail in games. Not cheering against but want to see players deal with adversity. When times get tough do they rise up or do they sink? Players should take advantage of failure.

Players can take advantage by staying focused. Cheering on teammates. Keeping good body language. Making a great play after an error. Having a great at bat after a bad one. Getting a hitter out after walking two straight. All of that shows resiliency and mental toughness.

On our last podcast Bryan Peters talked about players getting 5% better or 5% worse when adversity hits them in games. It’s something he makes decisions off of when recruiting. That’s not an anomaly. That’s the norm.

My job. To represent and protect my tribe. To put in front of my warriors every potential outcome they could see in baseball. Assume nothing. Prepare them so when the game starts you have confidence in them that you can just let them play. Baseball is not life-relationships are.

There is no problem w/emotions & enjoying the game unless it clouds judgement. The problem with bat flipping is it screams “look at what I did” in a team game & disrespects the ability of your competition. Act like you’ve been there, compete, be consistent not a flash in the pan.

Congratulations to 3 year Kards player @JackFentress and his achievements! Looking forward to seeing great things from you in the future! #kardsrollin

Players: Don’t big-time small college coaches during your recruitment because these are the schools you are going to be transferring to after you get cut in the fall your freshman year or when you can’t get on the field in the spring. You’re welcome.

Regional Champs👊🏼⚾️

Congratulations to @Huskybb35 on winning WIAA D-1 State Championship! Product of culture, toughness, and leadership. Wow what a game and a group of impressive young men.

Congratulations to 15u Kards player gabriel richardson on a great year as a freshman on the state champion @Huskybb35. You have a bright future and we look forward to seeing your continued growth. Keep working. The best is yet to come.

Finding joy everyday is so important. A lot of the times it’s in the simple things like watching your son enjoy the park on a Saturday. Soon he won’t want to go to the park with Dad so today I choose to just enjoy this moment in time. #bewhereyourfeetare

Congrats to Kards 15u player gabriel richardson for the outstanding individual award for a great year! Well deserved for a talented and high character kid. #kardsrollin wisconsinbaseballcentral.com/news_article/s…

WI: KardsAcademy's 16U team earned a big 12-0 win this evening behind Evan Long's (Tomah, 2021) four-inning shutout. Consistently works FB up in zone, hard, 78-81, T82. Cuts it when he wants. Lots of strikes in an athletic/projection frame. Sweeping slider, too. #BadgerState

WI: Speaking of Monday's showcase, we'll be seeing RHP Austin Baker (Old Abe Baseball, 2022) there. He's sitting 76-79 mph in the first for KardsAcademy with hard run. Mixing in a sweeping SL earning some swings and misses. Really loose and easy arm. #BadgerState

#PBRatTheRock 16U | KardsAcademy RHP Mason Dado (St. Croix Central, 2021) has had a stellar summer in front of our staff, and it continues today. Sitting 80-83 mph, T84, with life in the zone. Still finding feel for the CB, but it's getting there; backdoor'd one here 👇.

Life is so precious. It’s sad that incidents like this are the ones that remind us. Hug tighter, give an extra kiss, and make sure you tell the ones you love how you feel tonight. I’m sure Blake wishes he could one more time. 💔
