Baseball is not about participation trophies. It's about fun, competing, working with others and learning how to overcome adversity.

"DESERVE" isn't a word that should be used in athletics... You 'DESERVE NOTHING!' You EARN everything. Everyday you should earn your way!

Not happy with playing time? Be a great teammate, improve work ethic, focus on fundamentals, relax & compete. The cream will rise 2 the top.

The team is the priority and great teams have players who continually demonstrate this key concept of winning.

Is there anything worse than bad body language? It’s one of the biggest signs of weakness, defeat, and surrender. Positive energy a must!

If you want to be good, focus on making yourself better. If you want to be great, focus on making your team better.

St. James is the 12th Horry County team to reach the state finals (Aynor this year was No. 11) in seven-plus decades of SCHSL baseball.

Surround yourself with motivation, positivity, people who truly push you to be your best. Build a culture that breeds success.

Losing divides mentally weak teams. On championship teams, losing creates a desire, hunger, and focus to be better than ever before.

Great players grasp this concept. Relaxed muscles R fast muscles, tight muscles R slow muscles. Breathe, create rhythm & slow heart beat.

Great teams are NOT afraid of competition. They love a challenge & believe they will win. Anyone, anytime, anywhere. Respect all..fear none!

If your coach pushes you, disciplines you & demands the very best of you...they are helping create a winner in you.

Championship Culture is cultivated and learned during the fall not the spring! P.I.R.A.T.E.S.

The best overcome their fear of failure. Period. They know baseball is a game where failure will be experienced on the road to success.

A players "make-up" (work ethic & character) is a great indicator of future success.
