Philosophy

Our philosophy can be summarized in one word - improvement. We believe our roles as coaches is to encourage student athletes to better themselves in all aspects of life. Further, we believe it is our duty to provide student athletes with well thought out, specific, and purposeful skill development activities so they may experience exponential growth in baseball. We stress the importance of being better today than yesterday. We put an emphasis on purposeful intent. more specifically, we demand each student athlete's best effort at all times and in all situations, for this is the only way measurable improvement can occur.

Further, we believe in using every repetition to get better. We cannot change the past, but we can use the present to impact the future. for this reason, we must focus on the task at hand - this pitch, this swing, this play, et cetera. Out intent is to improve every day: every play, every swing, every throw.

We recognize every player is different. Each player brings a unique set of strengths and weaknesses to the program. They have different body types, different mental perspectives and different experiences. We believe in taking all of these factors into consideration so we can provide the most specific and purposeful instruction possible. When this type of individualized instruction is combined with a player's desire to do what it takes to get better, the result is exponential growth. 

Specifically, in regard to baseball, we believe the most successful teams are those who execute. Teams that are able to execute in all scenarios, regardless of the score or situation, are the most successful. Execution, in its simplest terms, means each player completes his job for the benefit of the team. Pitchers must make pitches, position players must make plays, the offense must get runners on, move runners over, and get runners in. At the end of the day, a team that executes is a team that does both the little things and the big things correctly. We are not looking for a certain type of athlete; rather we are looking for players with heart. Players who are willing to give their all in every situation for the good of the team.
