A dream come true!
Im beyond excited to announce that I have accepted the Head Baseball Coach position at Slinger High School! I cannot thank
@SlingerOwlsAD
enough for giving me this opportunity. Let’s bring something special to
@SlingerBaseball
Time to get to work 🦉
Down 8-0 at one point during this game in their conference tournament. 2 outs in the 9th and this swing gave them the lead. Stop being soft. Baseball’s hard. Success, especially in big moments, should be celebrated
Want to play college baseball? Don’t be afraid to fail. Hitting, you’re gonna get out. Pitching, you’re gonna give up runs. Baserunning, you’re gonna get thrown out. Fielding, you’re gonna make an error. Get over being afraid to fail. Once you do, you’ll be a better player
In my 6 years as a collegiate coach I made a COMBINED $27,000. Had to work 2 extra jobs during almost every year including overnight jobs. There’s a reason so many coaches leave the profession or why so many are calling for better pay. But you know “that’s the way it is.”
I’m gonna be totally honest here, as a college baseball coach, I do not care in the slightest about your workout videos.
Great to see your strong, but all I care about is how are you on the field. We’re gonna make you stronger anyway, regardless of what you’re lifting now.
I just saw a HEAD COACHING (college baseball) opportunity posted for 5K a year...yet a D1 basketball coach gets 7.75 MILLION to “retire” because of abuse allegations. Something’s gotta change
Recruits:
As someone who’s been lucky enough to coach players from every collegiate level, I promise you that you are not too good for any level. Do not be close minded, because that school you’re overlooking cuz it’s not a big name has dudes who can outplay you
Life update:
In addition to my coaching duties at Lakeland, I have been offered a full time position within the school. This comes with tuition…after years of trying to go back and having to stop because of not being able to afford it…I will finish my degree.

Very excited to announce I will be joining the coaching staff at Lakeland University…again. Chapter 2 here is gonna be even better! Beyond excited to once again be a Muskie 🐟
Biggest thing I’ve learned in my first year coaching at the HS level so far:
A lot (not all) of kids are more worried about what rank they are based on PG, PBR, etc than what it takes to win baseball games as a team. That sucks.
It’s ok to be close with your players. The idea that because you’re the coach means you can’t have a close relationship with them is dumb. All of you, players and coaches included, are trying to reach the same goal. Have a relationship that allows players to enjoy being there.
“A baseball costs $8. You would never leave that on the ground you’d put it in your wallet. Ball doesn’t belong on the ground, it has a wallet too it’s called a glove. Like money don’t leave the ball on the ground.” -
@TimCorbin
from his
@i70clinic
presentation on defense
All in all the D3 level is a level to be proud of attending. You as an athlete are doing something that less than 10% of high school baseball players get to do. Cherish every moment you have of that opportunity. Before you know it, it’s over.
End 🧵
Just lost 2 arms for the summer. Need to replace them with high level college arms. Looking for dudes who want to win at everything they do and are true psychopaths on the mound.

The Post Grad route is a very real, very legit option in my opinion. College level competition without wasting any eligibility, get bigger, faster, stronger and develop on the field? I’d have done it in a heartbeat.

I gotta say it. Who cares if kids show up in slides if they get their turfs/cleats on by the time to get early work/pre game goin. Seems like we’re just looking for reasons to complain about kids at this point.
I would just like to point out that Tyler Bryant from

“D3 talent isn’t as good”
Completely untrue. Been lucky enough to coach players from all over the country from all levels. 3 of the 5 best I’ve ever coached were D3 players. There’s talent EVERYWHERE in college baseball.
Also some D3’s could 100% beat D1’s

@FlatgroundBats
Sadly, it’s official. Tyler’s incredible college career is officially over. TB you are without a doubt one of the best pitchers to ever play this game and being able to watch a small fraction of your career has been incredible. I love you man and can’t wait to see ya in NE!
Totally forgot but last Saturday we reached a milestone. Across 5 seasons as a HC from the college summer ranks to now HS we got to 100 W’s.
I truly owe everything to every single player I’ve ever been lucky enough to coach. Thank you all for believing in me.
Question for my D3 coaching friends:
Is it acceptable to give a timeline on when an athlete needs to commit? It happens at scholarship levels so why is it frowned upon at D3? I understand it’s a big decision but coaches gotta build a class of DUDES and can’t wait on everyone.
Thankful for the Pios putting on a charity event for the military. My brother, Specialist Samuel Williams, is an Army Ranger who has been deployed. Because of men like him I get to coach a game for a living. I’m beyond proud to be his brother and thank all who have served!
Exciting news in my baseball life! I have been named the new General Manager for the Carolina Forest Crawdads in the Beach Collegiate Baseball League out of Myrtle Beach!
I’m excited for this new journey in Summer baseball and look forward to building a roster to win it all!

#BaseballIsBack
I’ve dreamt of becoming a head ⚾️ coach since I got into coaching ,my hope was always as a college HC.
I’m currently a HS ⚾️ HC and it’s the greatest thing that’s happened to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to be. Moral: What you want isn’t always what you need.
Really awesome experience getting to check out the Air Force Academy and getting to talk with a soon to be household name in the coaching world in
@CoachTD2017
What these guys go through daily on top of playing baseball is incredible.
A few catching drills I love:
1. Overheads (glove on ground as long as possible, pull up over head)
2. Stoppers (same as 👆🏻 but stop in strike zone)
3. Transfer/footwork (secondary stance, transfer in front, get right foot down fast!)
Work to keep glove horizontal!!
Big congrats to our guy TB! Guy goes and pitches 8 innings of pro ball to get called up to the next level lol. Congrats brotha! Can’t wait to see you shoving in the

@MLBDraft
These past few months have been some of the hardest of my life personally. Being away from coaching and just working a “normal job” truly sucks. I miss the guys, the recruiting, seeing guys succeed, chasing a championship. If you can afford it, don’t let it go guys.
Any Juco arms still looking for a place to go shoot me a DM! Play in the best conference in the country at the D3 level. Top majors are: Engineering, Construction Management, Criminal Justice and Business!
@FlatgroundApp
The harder you hit a ball the more likely it is you get on base. The more you’re on base the more chances you have to score. Loud noises over everything 💪🏻💫
