Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

It's a funny thing when someone or some organization you used to work alongside claims your work as their own. Flattering and frustrating at the same time. Sometimes you have to just laugh at people.

So a dude who makes his living off of hyperbole on twitter is mad at the clouds because a social media intern at USA Baseball used hyperbole on twitter??!

Whatever man. It was a fun week of baseball. And now we move on to the next thing.
Team of destiny? Cmon, they won a HS summer baseball tournament not the #WorldSeries after being down 3 games to none.

One of the more fun weeks of baseball in 29 years of coaching. An epic comeback in extras in the semis; a world class performance in the Gold Medal game but more than that…

Well said. A confession: As the world has gotten more and more transactional it does sometimes feel harder to not give in to cynicism and to avoid getting sucked into a win or you fail mindset. I’m guilty of it too.

Want your players to actually develop this summer?

Stop shielding them from failure in games.

The two biggest keys? Working through failure + massive repetition.

I’ve won some of the biggest tournaments on the circuit as a coach and org owner… and nobody remembers (or cares).

There’s a delicate balance between learning to win and sacrificing development. Our system rewards winning way too early.

Kids need room to get jammed while learning to let the ball travel. To make bad throws figuring out footwork. To chase pitches expanding the zone. To miss badly testing a new pitch shape.

Real growth happens by failing, learning, adjusting, and stacking days.

Learning to win matters — but developing players who know how to react and learn from failure is more important.

What if we looked at this whole college/draft system different? Just for sake of argument, throw it all out. It doesn't matter what exists now. Start fresh.

What would be the best realistic system for college sports, its players, its member schools, and the country as a whole?
