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

The more good you do the better you will be
