LeBron James was born to a 16-year-old single mother in Akron, Ohio. He bounced between friends just to have a place to sleep. Then this country handed him everything.
It gave him over $500 million in NBA salary and over $1 billion more in endorsements and business deals. Forbes puts his net worth at $1.4 billion. He was the first active NBA player in history to become a billionaire.
And when the national anthem plays for the country that made all of that possible, he can't give it two minutes of respect.
No hand over his heart. No standing still. He's goofing around, flailing his arms, flapping around, pretending to shoot a basketball, doing literally anything except honoring the flag that turned a kid from Akron into a billionaire.
That's not a protest. That's not a statement. That's just disrespect.
Millions of Americans work their whole lives and never see a fraction of what this country gave him. Men and women died so he could play a game for a living in front of sold-out arenas. The least he could do is stand there and act like it means something.

Pitchers:
• Be careful of falling into patterns with pitch selection.
• Command the inside part of the plate.
• Goal = Be able to throw all your pitches in any count to any location.
• Always look at pitch execution before second guessing pitch selection.
• Develop a bullpen routine that gives attention to every pitch type and location you want to be able to execute in a game.
• Become an expert at controlling the running game.
• BACK UP BASES!!
• Thank and respect your catchers.
• Take care of your arm and body.
• Study throwing/pitching mechanics.
• If your team isn’t providing time to throw weekly bullpens, get it done on your own time. NO EXCUSES!
• Play catch with a purpose.
• Be the best at PFP.
• Pick your teammates up when they make mistakes.
• Goal = NO WALKS!
• Attack the zone and make them earn their way on base.
• Hitting is hard, stop thinking they will hit every mistake you make. Challenge them!
• Be the mentally toughest most prepared player on the field.
Great quote from Posada about current state of baseball, "smarter on paper, dumber between the lines. "

Unpopular opinion: Undisciplined players don’t happen by accident. They are often the reflection of undisciplined coaching. Players imitate what coaches consistently demonstrate, not what they occasionally demand.
Phenomenal point @PerezEd if that WV player does not bust his butt down the line, none of these runs score. Down 11 at the time, many kids wouldn't. Great point and great job of hustling kid!!!

Dear Parents:
We all know many coaches can be better at how they plan and utilize team practice time. But let’s make sure we are clear about something, your athletes development is not solely on them. In fact, they are just a small piece. To blame them for your athletes lack of production, is a big mistake. Before even second guessing your athletes coaches, answer these questions:
• How much does your athlete really love their sport(s)?
• How much time do they spend on their own daily/weekly practicing their sport(s)?
• What is their attitude like when with their team and things aren’t going well?
• Are they a good teammate?
• How’s their focus?
• Are they able to apply what they are learning?
• Are they in the right situation for their ability level?
• Are they accountable for their mistakes or do they have a habit of blaming and excuse making?
Great coaches can make a huge difference for players BUT they are temporary. Check your athletes habits before anything else.

Former Baylor and SFA quarterback and current Henderson coach Preston Weeks is currently undergoing a major 12-hour surgery in his battle against cancer.
Please keep Preston, his family, and his medical team in your thoughts and prayers today

Hitters:
⚾️Challenge yourself to put the ball in play
⚾️Take pride in not striking out
⚾️Focus on quality AB’s
⚾️Be obsessed with putting the ball on the barrel
Try it, and I bet your batting average will improve, your power numbers will increase and your on base % will skyrocket.
There’s a lot to be said for just putting the ball in play and finding barrel🙏🏽💯
#BaseballTruth
Facts!!
🤔🤔🤔
It does not matter how you want to or try to explain it, the pure number of fielding errors, individual mistakes, base running mistakes, lack of focus in the dugout, lack of preparation, walks allowed, good pitches to hit but not swung at, pitches out of the zone chased, passed balls, wild pitches thrown, and yes, coaching mistakes, will ALWAYS outnumber the missed calls by umpires in any given game. ALWAYS!! Make sure your effort and attention is on the right things.
This is awesome!!!
Good morning….there is a lot wrong with college sports right now….This is NOT one of them! So cool! Congrats to @WVUBaseball you guys are Super! #RoadToOmaha

“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” —Psalm 139:23–24
Absolutely. This over the top, unsportsmanlike BS has to stop. Get excited, show emotion, but don't be classless.
I’m so tired of seeing college pitchers acting like idiots on the baseball field!
Stop yelling at the hitters when you strike them out and you won’t get ejected!
If you can’t control your emotions you won’t last long in this game!
Notice the shock after he’s ejected!
Don’t act like this kids!
