Average college players spend 3,000 hours on their game in 4 years. Only 4% of that is spent on actual game play. You need mental & physical stamina, toughness & a willingness to work regardless of success or playing time. You have to love the process of what it takes to compete!

Great team leaders are special to a team’s culture. Many say they want to be a leader, few are willing to do what it takes.

How many hitters ever have had truly elite mechanics? And how many of them look the same? The best hitter’s find THEIR mechanical efficiency. Their swing signature.

Tim Hyers, Texas Rangers MLB Hitting Hitting Coach…. Develop a complete approach to hitting. There is no secret sauce… Amateur hitters (from college to youth ages), coaches, and parents listen carefully …. and apply generously.

If a challenge is successful you should get another one. Not fair if you have to pick which two calls to challenge if there are multiple wrong calls against you.

Great coach, Great role model, and such a transformative coach in the lives of these student-athletes.
