Notes
You have to know your people
How are you going to be an effective leader if you don’t know your people?
What are my priorities in life?
How can I be an effective leader if I can’t be a good dad?
I want them to see me outside of a coach
How do you define winning?
How do you define success
Get off the scoreboardThey trust you more
Better relationship
Far outweighs the white lines
If i can’t be that person then i need to get out

We are making them war fighters! The mission is a little different here
We are here to serve and fight
Mission is fly fight and win!
We hold kids and coaches accountable
Tell them and show them how much I love and care about them
Take what i learned as a dad, husband, military background and teach it to everyone 
Mission has nothing to do with baseball
Set standards for your program
Its what our nation needs!
1 rule - DO IT RIGHT!
Buy into our school, our military, and our program
Hold them to high expectations hold accountable to the standards
You learn so much from sports because you learn so much about yourself
You have an “opportunity” to come play baseball
Hold people accountable to the commitment or de-commitment
We don't play any home games, because we don’t fight any wars on our home turf!
I’m there dad
Its not war, its a game, we shake our hands after the game and go home
I don’t believe in switching the light switch, we want you always on! ATTACK!
Its a lifestyle
Lead by examples
You know your people
You take care of your people
You need to set goals for every kid in that program
Accountability and expectations are huge!
Don’t want people that settle. We want people to be excellent
We give our team leadership council (team of leaders for the team)
I want kids to make decisions
We put no limits, no boundaries on our kids
We love for our kids to fail. How are you going to be a better leader if you don’t know how to fail?
If we trained for it, prepped for it, had a routine then we will live with the result
MAD - Make a difference. As adults is to make a difference
Young people is about living your life with no regrets
Be the person you can be today!!!
Standards never sleep, and you are always on parade!!!
Winning is important, but how do you define it?
