Excited to keep watching baseball At Queens!

Joe Mazzulla on the importance of building a culture that doesn’t depend solely on the head coach. “You don't want to be the sole person controlling the environment. You almost want it to run better when you're not around because that's a testament of the people.” If your culture only works when you’re watching, then you've merely just created compliance. The best environments are sustained by the people and shared ownership inside them. 📹: Verse Us Podcast

Really proud of these two and can’t wait to see where their futures take them!

I spent 11 years as a pro athlete, and today I coach my 8-year-old. A few things I believe about youth sports... Most kids will never play college sports. Even fewer will earn money from playing their sports. Yet everyone can experience life lessons through sports. Now, to do that, it requires you, me, and everyone involved to understand the stakes. The stakes? Well, there are none. Ya, the 8u tournament where the coach lost his mind on a call by a 14-year-old umpire. The play your first basemen didn't make that he should have. The game you lost because the coach put the players in the "wrong positions". None of that matters, and understanding that...well, those are the stakes. You see, kids are incredible at watching, repeating, and forming habits. As a coach and parent, my goal is pretty simple. *Teach them the game *Make sure they enjoy it *Show them how to live with the results The most common pitfall I see in youth sports today is the excuse train. The umpire made a bad call. The coach feeds into it, the players follow along. The one player missed the easy play. The coach yells, the players feed into it. The team had a run of bad luck. The coach makes excuses, the players think that is ok. My friends, youth sports is a tool to teach your boys and girls about life. That's it... For the select few that will go on and play college or pro, good on them. Chances are that isn't my kids or your kids. So our job? To make sure they understand what is important and that we remember the stakes.

There’s still a few weeks left to get your team registered for 2026 Team Camp! We have strong programs registered from OK, AR, TX, KS, and MO. This is a great opportunity to get your players seen by NSU WBB staff and others! For registration: riverhawkswbbcamps.com
