The great Augie Garrido said “The quality of your next performance is determined by how you choose to respond to your last performance”.
Year 3 starts tomorrow.
Tomorrow is exactly 6 months on the low carb, super busy, and highly stressed weight-loss journey. Down a total 70Lbs. The scale and mirror still screams FAT but excited to grind out another 30lbs.
“I never let what I have to do get in the way of what I want to do” Day 1 of 2023
@mthoodbaseball
It is such an honor to lead this program. It has been a dream of mine since I started coaching baseball. Time to blow the motor.

Crazy it is already February. Having the time of my life coaching right now. Love our players, coaches and even the intern. Lol. Baseball, Lumber, Family super busy but in a good way. Here is my day off (sarcasm). See everyone in June.
Back in November

Tonight the CTeam Football game was cancelled due to lightning so we determined the winner the old fashion way! Props to Centralia Football for having class act players and coaches. We will get you all next year!

Sad day having to tell 7 seniors that the 3 years of work, loyalty and pride ends early without a single game. I can’t believe we won’t finish our year with a dogpile or a circle of honor. Your contribution to the

will be respected and remembered.

“You don’t know until you know” The Saints went 2-13 to start year and 13-3 to finish the year. We never let adversity get us down. Saints off the field and dogs on it. I personally learned a lot and will tirelessly work to earn the respect of those before me.

There is no education like adversity. Happy to see my son and his teammates back on the field after 15+ months of wondering if there will even be a season. Can’t wait to get back to work Monday.

This morning I broke out the Shumway86 sled (plastic bag) and headed to Sorensen Park to relive some childhood memories. Had to take advantage of this once in a generation snow. It wasn’t pretty but it was fun. I dedicated my first run to
@ValenciaCCT
Thank you

Baseball is an incredible game and in my 51 years I have seen a lot but this was a first. Heads up play by the catcher and great call by my amazing broadcast partner
@BryanSleik
for not missing a beat.
@espn
@MLBNetwork
I pretty much decided I am probably going to cry my eyes out the next time I get to be with our athletes on the baseball or football field. I miss it and them so much.
#coronagotmeonmyknees
6 person Pods, limited practice space, no gear storage, stadium construction, cold rain and wet February grass what else? In perspective who cares! There was time we thought we wouldn’t have a season. It was an awesome day. I love our players and our school
#greatestplaceonearth
I have always believed that Coach is a synonym for Dad. It is the best way to describe how to do the job. Love your athletes unconditionally, work to maximize his or her god given abilities and create memories that the athlete will carry for a life time.
#greatestjobonearth
Super excited for former Saint, friend and mentor Gabe Sandy to receive his World Series ring from
@Rangers
He has given his life to NW baseball. He was a player, an assistant and HC at

HOF, NWAC and PIL. Now a World Series Champ.

Blessed to spend my summer working with the infielders at
@RRaptorsBB
hitting fungos during BP. Hard to pick a favorite but these 3 are special young men. Their D1 colleges got talented players but importantly quality people.

@PortlandBSB
The class of 2019 regular season is almost over. I will forever love this group of seniors like sons. I am truly blessed to coach in this program and can not believe these 4 years are coming to a close. They truly have embraced the “River Way”

Coaching Convention.

Master Yoon explains that high level baseball is a high focus, medium intensity game that requires players and coaches to control what we can control.

Players of all sports.. If you really want to win at a high level stop tolerating teammates missing practices, not working in the off season, complaining about their roles or playing time and mostly of all just being selfish. These actions are kryponite to real success

I wish I was calling you to the middle today telling you I love you and thanking you for your legacy.

Thank you to all the Players and Parents for an amazing season.
Senior pictures always makes me feel a little sad. The end of one path and on to discover new paths. Blessed to call this one my son. I am so extremely proud of him. Only a few short months away from graduation. Thanks

I love being your Dad.

Last night the good guys won and lost. I was thrilled to see
@taz_roberts
a friend of over 25 years get honored as a captain plus watch his son Tanner competed like a warrior and represented his family name. Ridgefield is a better place because of the Roberts family.

Always looking for positivity in the pandemic! I am super proud of my son
