For many college ball players this week begins a huge test of self discipline. Remember, you can’t be upset over the results you didn’t get on the 1st day of spring practice from the work you didn’t do over Christmas break!

Fact: Wrist tape, eye black, & evoshields look way cooler on the hitters that drive in all the runs!

Ball 4 at 98 mph is still ball 4. Our obsession with velocity is starting to drive me crazy.

Your body language will say more about you in a span of 3 seconds than your Perfect Game profile will in a span of 3 years & it never lies!

The days of being disappointed or offended by a walk on opportunity are over ladies & gentlemen. College baseball is getting ready to get really crazy & those roster spots are going to be gold. Take what you can get & go earn the rest!

If you ever get a chance to hire your dad, do it! There is nobody that wants to help you succeed more than the person that taught you how to succeed! He doesn’t want the credit or the spotlight. He just wants to teach baseball & love the players! Does it get any better than that?

I think one of the most commonly misunderstood phrases today is “hard work”. Doing what’s on the practice schedule is simply meeting expectations. Hard work is the extra work you put in after the work you’ve put in after you’ve practiced! That’s what separates average from elite!

When a kid declines your offer because you've already signed a kid that plays their position...but they someday wanna play pro ball! Good luck. #EarnYourSpot

Kids dont understand why we talk work ethic & integrity more than baseball. Its because youll be men alot longer than youll be ballplayers!

"Swag" won't get you recruited or drafted! Learn to catch, throw, & hit and stop worrying about eye black and evo shields! #BeOldSchool

In 2002 we were on the way to Palatka and our head coach put a cooler full of subs in the back of the van. 1 of the guys opened the cooler and said, “Awe man subs again?!!!” Our coach pulled over, grabbed the cooler, threw it into the Ocala forest & drove off never saying 1 word!
