@CUCbaseball
Endlessly grateful for what this program has done for me as a man and player the past 4 years. Can tell you first hand, the character of this group always meant more to me than the score. It’s more than a game.

So proud of our program and Seniors! These guys didn’t pick us and fully bought into our plan. Everything we do from this point on will be on their shoulders. Only place to go from here is up! Love my guys!!
@crubaseball
Really proud of this group. It is not easy to win and this program continues to be on the right track to something special. Thank you Seniors, everything from here is on your shoulders. Love my guys.

15th win for this group in the middle of March.
The majority of this team went through last years 14 win season.
Failure is usually the first step to success. Proud of these dudes!

The season didn’t end how we wanted but this program isn’t defined by results. This group’s process was consistent, thoughtful, and driven. These seniors will have a special place in my heart for the rest of my career. It’s all love boys.🤟🏻

Couldn’t be happier for Dus, guy is absolute machine. Awesome to be coaching 1st base to congratulate him on beating his old teammates record.

One of the best seasons I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Rhett is a great player but a better person and teammate.
Side Note: If you hit .426, you can make hitting with working gloves look acceptable. Impressive!

Bote having to apologize for a game-winning grand slam bat flip is so lame. Pretty simple, if you don’t like it, don’t give up the homer. Passion makes the game fun and interesting.

“I can’t get in the lineup because Coach doesn’t like me.”
Nope, we haven’t played you because you have failed to reach the expectations we set for starters.
Get better, not bitter.

People want consistent performance without having consistent habits and routines. You can’t just “turn it on”, consistent physical/mental work creates the memorable performances everyone wants.
"I was in the cage 5 days a week for 3 months, retooling, restructuring it, making sure it was repeatable & sustainable through 162 game season. It's a lot of work, a lot of time, 3-4 hours a day in the cage trying to find something that worked for me." Justin Turner
Annual tweet to remind all you ballplayers out there: If you don’t put in the work to continue development in the winter, don’t be mad on the bench in the spring🤷🏻♂️. Leave no doubt for your coaches!
You can’t control what the game gives you, but you can always control how you handle it. Actions never tell the story, it’s always the reaction.

The past couple of weeks have shined a light on the systemic racism that occurs in our country. We need to start creating change in a number of different areas. Replace all the hate with love and kindness. I stand with all my brothers and sisters.

When you’re individually struggling, pour into your teammates and see how much your game flourishes. Being a great teammate has countless rewards. It’s not about you and never was!!

Never understood the obsession for athletes to work out at ridiculously early times in the day in the offseason. Like if you lift at 5am vs 1pm, what’s the difference. 🤔
No one obsesses over your in-game mistakes outside of you. Stop the negative self-talk and go dominant the next play. Mentality is a choice!

You only owe validation to YOURSELF. External compliments and approval will fade in time. Self-validation is one of the most empowering feelings in the world.

Cru Baseball starts tomorrow! Fall Ball is an awesome time where process is everything and results take a back seat. No one will remember your fall stats, don’t worry about hitting doubles every at-bat. Just prepare yourself for spring and the doubles will come.
