“Job interview” doesn't mean an actual job interview. ⚾

I've talked about young players preparing for their future “job interview,” and apparently, some people took that literally.

So let me clarify.

I'm using job interview as a metaphor.

If your son wants to play college baseball, there will eventually be opportunities for him to play in front of college coaches.

That's the “job interview.”

College coaches are evaluating players.

They're watching how they perform.

They're looking at their skills, athletic ability, baseball IQ, competitiveness, and how they carry themselves.

And ultimately, they're deciding:

“Is this a player who fits what we're looking for?”

That's why I talk so much about developing young players early.

If you're 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 years old, you don't wait until you're standing in front of college coaches to start preparing.

You build the foundation now.

Develop the skills.

Learn how to compete.

Build good habits.

Learn how to be a great teammate.

Develop your baseball IQ.

Build the mindset you'll need when the opportunity finally arrives.

Because when that “job interview” comes, you don't want to start preparing.

You want to be ready.

The goal is to give your son the best possible foundation so that when college coaches are watching, he has something worth noticing.

Want to stand out as a baseball player? Be willing to look different. ⚾

If you're the kid who hustles down to first every single time, some players might make fun of you.

They might tell you that you're trying too hard.

They might ask why you're running so hard on a routine play.

Do it anyway.

I used to tell my son something simple:

When other kids make fun of you for out-hustling them, that's a sign you're doing something right.

They're uncomfortable because you're making them look slow.

You're making them look like they don't care as much.

And that's okay.

Because the players who matter are watching.

College coaches aren't looking for the kid trying to fit in with everyone else.

They're looking for players who compete.

Players who hustle.

Players who pay attention to the details.

Players who do the right things even when nobody else is doing them.

So don't avoid doing something the right way because you're worried your teammates might think you look weird.

Be willing to be different.

Be willing to stand out.

Be willing to do the things most players aren't willing to do.

Because if you want to separate yourself from everyone else, you can't always act like everyone else.

The little things aren't negotiable.

Play the game the right way.

Hustle.

Compete.

And let people notice.

Travel baseball should be about more than winning. ⚾

I believe travel baseball should be development-minded.

It should be about coaches who understand that the scoreboard isn't the only measure of success.

Yes, we're going to compete.

Yes, we're going to give everything we have to win.

The effort to win matters.

But what happens beyond the scoreboard matters too.

We're going to:

• Get better
• Learn the game
• Develop our skills
• Become great teammates
• Learn how to handle adversity
• Play with energy and passion
• Have fun

I want our games to look like backyard baseball.

Kids playing hard.

Kids competing.

Kids laughing.

Kids learning.

Kids making memories they're going to talk about years from now.

That's what travel baseball should be.

Not adults chasing trophies for their own ego.

Not kids afraid to make mistakes.

Not winning at the expense of development.

Develop the player. Build the person. Compete like crazy. Have fun.

That's the kind of travel baseball I believe in.

Why do you coach? ⚾

If I asked you that question, what would your answer be?

For me, it's simple.

I love baseball.

I love kids.

I love teaching the game.

I love watching young players get better and helping them reach their goals.

I want to see kids earn the opportunity to play at the next level, and I want to help prepare them for that opportunity.

But baseball is about more than baseball.

I want to teach life skills through the game.

I want to have a positive impact.

I want to be a mentor and a role model for young men.

Even the way I coach matters.

I don't use profanity because I believe I should control what comes out of my mouth. And for me personally, I want the way I live and coach to honor my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

That's why I coach.

So if you're thinking about coaching with me, don't just copy and paste my answer.

I want to know YOUR why.

What do you love about coaching?

What do you want to teach?

What kind of impact do you want to have on young players?

Because great coaches aren't just teaching baseball.

They're helping shape young people.

And authenticity matters.

Does your son know how to run a hard 90? ⚾

A lot of players think getting a base hit means the job is done.

They hit the ball.

They get to first.

They celebrate.

Maybe they give the first-base coach a high five.

But that's not how I teach the game.

A hard 90 is about what happens when you turn first base.

You get a base hit.

You fly down the line.

You hit the bag and make an aggressive turn toward second.

No slowing down.

Why?

Because you're putting pressure on the defense.

An outfielder has to hurry.

An infielder has to make a quick decision.

And when you force the defense to move faster than they're comfortable with, mistakes can happen.

Maybe the outfielder bobbles the ball.

If you're already making a hard 90, you may be standing on second base instead of stopping at first.

That's why we teach a number:

Five seconds.

That's the standard.

Parents, watch your son the next time he gets a base hit.

Does he sprint through first?

Does he make a hard turn?

Or does he slow down, celebrate getting to first, and head back toward the bag?

Because here's the thing:

We don't score runs by getting to first base.

First base is where the opportunity starts.

The goal is to put pressure on the defense and keep advancing.

So if your player isn't running a hard 90 yet, start teaching it.

Make it a habit.

Play the game with energy. Put pressure on the defense. Make them make a play.

That's baseball.

**“Hustle more!” isn't a coaching standard.** ⚾

If you want young players to play with more snap and energy, don't just yell at them to hustle.

**Give them a number.**

At 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 years old, players should understand exactly what the standard is.

For us, that means getting from home to first in around **5 seconds**.

If a player is slower than that, we don't yell.

We don't scream.

We simply ask:

“What's our number?”

They know.

“Five seconds.”

“Okay. Let's get it right.”

That's accountability.

And here's the important part:

**The players have to understand the standard before you can hold them accountable to it.**

Before the season starts, we make sure everyone knows the numbers.

What is the number?

Why does it matter?

What happens if we don't hit it?

Once everyone understands that, there are no surprises.

And parents can use this approach at home too.

Turn the little things into measurable goals.

Make it fun.

Track the progress.

Create standards.

Because when you teach kids exactly what “good” looks like, they have something concrete to work toward.

And it applies beyond running to first.

A player gets hit by a pitch?

Don't stand around staring at the pitcher.

Get up.

Get to first.

**Five seconds.**

It's not about embarrassing the player or yelling at them.

It's about building habits.

**Clear standards. Clear expectations. Clear accountability.**

That's how you develop players who play with energy without having to constantly scream, “Hustle!”

Want to see one small thing that can completely change the way your team plays? ⚾

We used to practice something that most teams probably never practice:

How fast you get to first base.

And no, I'm not talking about sprinting out of the batter's box.

We make it a game.

Everyone lines up at home plate and jogs to first base.

The goal?

Get as close to 5.0 seconds as possible.

First player gets 5.2.

“Okay, you've got to be a little quicker.”

Next player gets 4.8.

“Okay, not THAT fast.” 😂

The kids have fun with it.

They compete.

They start challenging each other.

And eventually, it becomes part of how they play.

Then you come watch our team play and one of the first things you'll notice is:

Our guys get down to first base.

Why?

Because it creates energy.

It shows you're engaged.

It shows you're competing.

It's the right way to play the game.

And sometimes, the difference between a team that plays with energy and one that doesn't comes down to the little things.

You don't always need a complicated drill.

Sometimes you just need to turn the fundamentals into a game and make your players care about doing them right.

Teach the little things. Build the habits. Make it fun.

That's development.
