Super touched to have an opportunity to be interviewed by this major international publication @IBTimes. Not sure why they selected me, however, my prayer is it will allow me to reach others to pay it forward. I say it all the time and I mean it. I don’t know it all. Not even

The #1 skill missing from today’s athlete is mental toughness. Refusing to hold oneself accountable to individual & team goals. Blaming others for circumstances. Not fighting through adversity. Pouting & poor body language. Physical skill can only take you so far. Get tough.

Spoke to a college coach who is at PGWWB. Said he was heavy on 3 recruits. Watched them warm-up & carry themselves in games. All crossed off list. Poor actions before and during game and none handled adversity well. Pouters. When are player’s going to learn how much it matters.

HS baseball is south East Georgia. Before anyone freaks out, we have been face to face learning since August. All sports seasons, school busses, road trips, weight rooms, etc. many full stadiums and gyms. No serious issues. Our numbers are less then states with huge restrictions.

We (teachers) were told today at school that the suicide hotline is up 30% on calls & rising. Kids are suffering at home, abuse of all types, many going hungry. You tell me if we are handling this right? My heart aches for our kids. They need school. Can’t convince me otherwise.

Every player on the planet needs to hear this... Over & over. Remove all the “stuff” (results, expectations, distractions) & just compete. Compete, Compete, Compete. It all boils down to being the ultimate competitor. Breath...Center your thoughts & Compete...Lay it on the line.

My flight, 2.5 hrs. EVERY seat with a passenger. 38,000 ft in air. Everyone shoulder to shoulder. Masks on. But people can’t attend outdoor sporting events at any capacity. Make sense of that? Not making light of the virus. Just making a point that things are so inconsistent.

My wife Sonya penned this tonight. The words were put on her heart. She put pen to paper. Athletes, read. Read again. Embrace this truth. The game does not define you. We love you. Each of you. Not because of how you play, but because of who you are.

Love this. Mentions change up being the hardest pitch to recognize early in season. Also has an amazing 2 strike approach where he chokes up & battles. W/ 2, I always felt looking FB away & adjusting works best. It’s nice to see somebody in MLB battle their ass off w/ 2 strikes.

Three dudes “on time” and ready to go forwards, backwards, laterally, or diagonally to field a rocket! Notice the 3rd baseman...how he is starting lower than SS or 2B. #MakingPlays

We have fought so hard for many, many years for women’s sports. And rightfully so. So now are now ok with this huge injustice? In my eyes we can’t be afraid of being cancelled. What’s right is right & what’s wrong as wrong. Period. And we must be willing to stand for what’s right

3 things you must battle in baseball. The game, your opponent and yourself. Make sure your worst enemy doesn't live between your own ears. Mental toughness and composure are precursors to champions...both individually and team.

Want to hit extreme velocity? This is how you take pitches. Your swing is turned “on” when pitch is released. If it’s a bad pitch you turn the swing off or (take). We call that mentality a “yes, yes, yes, NO” (take). If a good pitch then it’s “yes, yes, yes, ...Crush” (swing).
