Your players see right through you, so be yourself

You have to care about your players, not how many wins they can get you.

Your swing is not level, it is on plane with the ball

You match the plane of the ball with the plane of the swing (meaning a higher pitch will have a more level swing)

Being organized removes a lot of problems you encounter

The smallest details are important

Buying plane tickets 2 weeks before a spring trip is a bad idea, and will result in half your team riding a bus one way, the other half flying round trip, and everyone will know you are unorganized, lazy, and over your head

Sign all the autographs people ask you to sign, because one day you will want to sign autographs and nobody will be asking

People bought a ticket to watch you play so play hard and play the whole game

Firing your best coach is never a recipe for success

The swing does not go down on the baseball

You do drop your back shoulder, its called Tilt

You do not throw your hands

90 feet isn’t that far to run, so do it

You can win with hustle

You can win with Character

Throwing equipment doesn’t mean you care, it means you are not mature enough to handle failure

If you get hit by a pitch, either charge the mound or go to first, don’t stand there and act tough

You will be faster if you remove a few of your wristbands, necklaces, and other crap

The more you talk, the more I know you either aren’t that good, or only care about yourself

Teams win championships, so you are either all in or all out, but you have to choose

You can do things your own way, but you can’t do things your own way and be part of a team

Swag is insecurity and a waste of money, if you are good, I will see you, and probably still think you are an individual, and if you stink, I will notice more, because you look like should be good. Either way, you lose.

You should catch the ball with two hands

Girls don’t like baseball players, they like good looking baseball players, and it helps if you are actually on the field.

The clubhouse is a great place to hang out…get there early.

Don’t act like your glove will be ruined if someone else puts their hand in it…it’s annoying

You didn’t strike out because a pitcher picked your bat up, and if you think you did, then you are a mental midget (mental small person)

Your last at bat doesn’t matter

1-7 with the game winning RBI is a great day because you won.

Worrying about your average will almost always make it go down.

Coaching can win games, it can also lose them
