We all laugh at the Yogiism… “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.” “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” Hopefully you realized I was talking about the hall of famer and not the cartoon character! I am certainly not asking you to spend too much time on what Yogi said, but once you get […]

http://vimeo.com/88582779 I know it definitely is synonymous with Corey Overholtzer. After listening to what Corey has to say, I am sure you will agree, “if there is a player who was made to succeed it is him.” Here are the two links I promised in the video! First: Have a son who is in High […]

Got to love a clean 3 – 6 – 4 double play. Pumping your team up while deflating your opponent. True beauty when done correctly! Hiccup and you have just given the opposition two extra outs and likely will end up with a runner on first and third. Waking up your opponent while potentially second […]

I am pretty certain you all have heard all the pros and cons of having a Colonoscopy, but in the end..sorry, let me reword that, reading humor columnist Dave Barry’s Colonoscopy experience probably won’t persuade you, but I did find it pretty factual and FUNNY. By Dave Barry … I called my friend Andy Sable, […]

“Be honest;” did you view Junior College as: A place for kids who had lousy grades The education is not as good because it is cheaper, or Kids who go to junior college are those who have no interest in school, they go there because they don’t know what they want to do? If you […]

http://vimeo.com/85078893 It is true! The secret to play college baseball and beyond is BE GOOD! Unfortunately being good is a relative statement and most of us never really research it to the level it needs to be; “What are some of the steps I should be taking to be considered good?” And yet I can […]

I really do not care if it was it Manute Bol or Rex Chapmen who was the first to say “My-Bad.” I just know it is a flippant apology that fails to benefit anyone. Instead of blurting out a dismissive, unconcerned apology get better. Mary Pickford said, “You may make mistakes, but you are not […]

I truly believe every player I was fortunate to work with has helped me become a better coach, and I would like to think a better person. I remember a college recruiter at an ACC school telling me, “yeah he throws hard, but he is too small!” In the fall TJ was pitching and I […]

As a coach I always found warms ups to include every player attempting to throw a knuckle ball. Okay, I admit it, attempting to throw the knuckle ball has been around, even when I was growing up [watch it, I am sensitive]. I even witnessed slow pitch [weekend warriors] perform their warm up magic using […]

I believe Woody Held’s quote is more than just a fan’s heckle; it’s what you should do when you are at the plate! Yet too many hitters worry more about hitting techniques (I call them fallacies) and their batting average versus just hitting the baseball. Too many players today over think their mechanics, and instead […]
