    NOTES

    • We are really big in the community and focus more beyond baseball
  • Be the ultimate human being
  • How you do anything is how you do everything
  • Support other teams in the school
  • Supporting little league tryouts, signups, etc
  • Prep team, feeder team, little league nights
  • When you feel the community supporting you its playing for something bigger than you
  • Play for a bigger purpose
  • Fall season for community work
  • Grade checks
  • 1 standard - don’t do anything that embarasses your religion, yourself, or your program
  • Holding them to the expectations
  • 9 to 5 - first 9 has to beat their last 5 on the field
  • Everything counts
  • Energy, effort, commitment to each, 
  • Fall season do little things to score points for 9 to 5
  • Points for all types of ways to produce wins
  • Running gets you better, not punishment
  • Losers take care of the field 
  • Hold kids accountable on the travel scene will create good groups
  • Win between innings
  • The first tournament you set the standards
  • Finding ways to stay active to improve
  • Always an opportunity to get better and set yourself apart
  • You have to have a skill set and it doesn’t matter how you may hit in a tournament
  • How you fail is a big indicator of how you will succeed
  • Baseball is how well you can fail
  • 3-3 should be same energy as 0-3
  • Each hitter can get into certain positions, which means they can move to get there
  • What if your body is not capable of getting to that position. Can we unlock parts of your body to get to those positions?
  • Power Baseball Foundation - board to help fundraise to help people who cannot afford to play travel baseball
    • Application to help with practice and planning. Players come out and we donate their time to help
