NEVER FORGET
Paul Simon pays tribute to 9/11 by performing "The Sound Of Silence". A native New Yorker, you can see the deep emotion in Paul's face as he sings. Heartbreaking.

First Skip I ever head speak at my first ABCA in Anaheim in 1994. Was the keynote speaker as LSU won the natty in 1993.....His "hold on to the rope" speech still gives me chills....would love to see video of that. Thank you for sharing.

Outrageous rule change. Just flat out stupid!
High school players… swing your BBCOR -3. Be ready for college. The new bat rule that was just approved is one of the most out-of-touch decisions I’ve seen in a long time. It feels like it was made by people who know nothing about H.S. Baseball.

Things I wish I would have known as a player: How much time the coaching staff spends thinking about what's best for the team.

Preach Coach!
I coach varsity H.S. baseball and travel ball… and I’d take H.S. baseball every single time. The school pride. The community. The rivalries. The pressure to win. The packed playoff games. Playing for your town. In my eyes H.S. baseball just means more.

Think about how much time Fox News spent on Hunter Biden. That was a real story, worth covering. But here they're not reporting on the potential corruption, they're celebrating it. Gross.
Eric Trump -- the president's son -- is on Maria Bartiromo's show bragging about one of his companies landing a $24 million Pentagon contract

Trump fell asleep in the Oval Office again today and it barely got any coverage because it happens so often. We’re so cooked
Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible.

A great assistant coach: • Brings energy daily • Fixes problems quietly • Speaks truth privately • Makes the head coach’s job easier • Knows it’s always about the program They don’t need a title to lead. They just do it. 💯

Every HS kid I ask “wants to play” in college. But so many don’t want: 20 hours of practice/weights 20 hours of class/study hall 0 hours of “social life” Some weeks: 6-7 days a week. 6am starts. 10pm ends. Sooo...Do you REALLY want it?

With older college rosters, the transfer portal, and roster limits… This isn’t the era for a “D1 or nothing” mindset. Junior College Baseball is a great option - and for a lot of players, the smarter path.

It ain't easy! If you get the opportunity to play at the college level, play where you can play and enjoy it! It is special.....and again, It ain't easy, at any level.
One thing you hear often is: “If I don’t go D1, I’ll just go D2 and dominate.” Like D2 is intramurals. There are D2 arms 90–94 with real breaking stuff. D2 hitters can flat out rake. Older. Stronger. Skilled. Levels change. Talent doesn’t disappear. Baseball humbles fast.

Not enough kids play wiffle ball baseball anymore which is why baseball instincts and natural moves are hard to find
