As a young athlete, no single game is going to make or break your career. Each game, win or loss, is a small step on the journey to improvement.

Your mind, just like your body, needs rest and recovery. Take time this weekend to relax and enjoy life. Once your mind is refreshed, you’ll be able to work harder and perform better!

Don’t be afraid to have larger goals than the people around you. Don’t worry about fitting in. Strive to stand out instead!

Mental toughness requires motivation. The more motivated you are, the more pain, fatigue, and pressure you can tolerate.

Being a good person is more important than being a good athlete. When all is said and done, you’ll be remembered more by your character than your athletic accomplishments.

Athletes should train their minds just as much as they train their bodies. Likewise, coaches should teach mental skills just as much as they teach physical skills.

As an athlete, your effort and resilience define you more than your wins and losses do.

When on the field, focus just on being an athlete. When in the classroom, focus just on being a student. When at home, focus just on being a family.

The best athletes hate to lose just as much as they love to win. They use these two motivations as fuel to outwork their competition.

As a coach, you can’t make all your players happy all the time. You need the courage to do what’s best for the team, even if it upsets some of your players. Focus more on what your players need, not what they want. Be a leader, not a people-pleaser.

The five mental challenges of sports: 1. Pushing through discomfort. 2. Blocking out distractions. 3. Staying poised under pressure. 4. Thinking critically to solve problems. 5. Managing your ego and working with others. Work hard to improve in all of these areas!

For anyone aspiring to play after high school, it's hard out here right now. If someone hits your phone that is interested in providing you an opportunity to continue playing and receive an education, be grateful.

Your hand pressure on the handle will determine how you use the bat, and everything will work off that.
