First day of practice tomorrow. A few things to remember:
1. You can only compare yourself to who YOU were yesterday.
2. Embrace the suck, growth follows failure.
3. Be curious.
4. You’re never as far away from success as you think you are.

I have the greatest job in the world. I get to wake up everyday and watch kids play a game, fill other people’s buckets, and impact of the lives of young men. How rewarding is that?

Really tough decision today stepping down as JV baseball coach at Jefferson, but I’m ready for my first varsity job and excited to see what the future has in store!

let’s get to work!
2 takeaways from this.
1. We have some incredible people in our program. Very proud of this group.
2. This is simply not possible without our Academic Support staff. The care level and attention to detail they provide to our athletes is second to none!
Absolutely unreal response to this! Thank you for your interest in our program! If I haven’t responded to your DM, I will, however I will be spending the rest of the week/ weekend at

we had the umpire come up to us after the game yesterday and tell us we had the most respectful kids he had umpired all year, honestly that means more to me than any number on a scoreboard. It’s all about creating quality young men. Kudos to the players and their parents

During today's game against St. Elizabeth, senior pitcher Cohen Nies eclipsed a milestone. He pitched 7.0 innings and struck out seven. He is now the school record holder in both career innings pitched and career strikeouts. Congrats Cohen!
