I know this may not be a big deal to some but I noticed it immediately. The eye contact. One thing that was instilled in me at a young age was the importance of making eye contact when someone is speaking to you. It’s a simple habit, but it says a lot. It shows respect. It shows that you’re present and paying attention. That’s why it’s something I emphasize at every clinic I run. When I’m teaching, I expect athletes to look me in the eye. Not because I’m trying to be super strict, but because learning how to communicate, listen, and show respect will take them much further than anything I can teach them about fielding a ground ball or swinging a bat. While I don’t know Coach Murphy or Jocelyn Briski, the fact that this is something she naturally does tells me a lot about her character and the program that helps shape her. Softball is about so much more than softball.

This was the proper way to start a day

Drew Maggi made his major league debut at 33 after grinding through 13 years, 1,155 minor league games, and 4,494 plate appearances.His parents were tearing up in the stands watching it happen. Nothing on this planet can take the place of determination. Best thing you’ll see today

Someone brought a baseball tee, a plastic ball, bat and a short fence at the old folks and everyone had a grand ol’ time hitting bombs
