Notes
More interactions with kids, more patience since the school shooting
Let assistant coaches coach, so he can float around and talk to each position
Don’t ever feel like you have to call me to come back to practice. You are always welcome
Open door policy - promote guys as much as possible
Sports are the best thing to bring people together
Tragedy to triumph
You need to have luck
Baseball is a game that teaches you perseverance, failure, tough, level headed
So many life lessons
Toy drive for Joe Dimaggio hospital
Rizzo walk for cancer
Hang lights for foster kids
Far major things in life than winning and losing games
Want players to be the best version of yourself and don’t be anything different
My resume is because of the players who have played for me
INAM - Its Not About Me 
QAB - write down their at bat and grade itA or F
Result
Pitch, count, tendency chart

Won’t tolerate after striking out and not giving love to other teammates. Being a bad teammate
20 minute meeting prior to practice to go over game night before
Just because it is not D1 does not mean you are not a Dude!
What is the best fit for you??!
Decisions needs to be made on more than just baseball - school, baseball, academics, social, distance, etc
Do you have a list of questions to ask coaches when recruiting?
Chart and intersquad to be competitiveNot just result - hard 90? You getting out of the box? You standing on 2 when you pop up?

4.3 seconds or less on the infield to make a play
Intense at practice, relax at games - don’t make me coach you today!!! You have competed all week.  
The only team that can beat us is us!
Competitive Pitchers Get outs!
Control the running game
There is a lot more than throwing the ball 60’6”
Control emotion, stay in the moment, know you are the best guy on the mound

Challenge period - all hitters around turtle, guy on the mound, runner at 2B, defense, 1 outGuys who have not done well in certain things well

Pitching and defense win championships, offense wins games
We will eliminate the inner third and look outside and over the plate and take advantage of mistakes
Some years we bunt, some years we don’t!
Try not to coach the first 4-5 innings
I don’t want to coach on game days
In the fall everyone has the green lightHow are you going to know if you don’t go??

I don’t want them to rely on coaches to make decisions and then we will talk about it
Its the only thing in life you can fail and be considered great
Allow yourself to be successful, stop pouting
Its not about you!
Athletics roll the school system, and starts with the football team to have a good yearGood AD
Administration support
Booster club - all fundraising is ran through own booster clubBanners, hit a thon, dinner with a pro


Bring excitement to the programWall of fame
Facility upgrade - fences and windscreen
Cover the batting cages
Clubhouse

I want them to go off to college and BE READY!!! They are college ready is the best compliment I can get!
