WHY Q22? "I wear 22, Jim Palmer's number, because of the intelligence, resilience and competitiveness he represents.
The Q reminds me to strive to make those qualities my own."
If you're riding the bench, you're on the wrong team.
If you're not practicing, somewhere, someone
is, and when you meet, he'll win.
Practice...What good is perfection if it's no fun?
Homework, quiz or test? Just say NO! School comes before sports.
Buying an expensive bat won't make your kid hit .500.
When parents crave playing time for their kids, are they really craving playing
time themselves?
Embarrassing parents make the player want to run and hide - not the way for a
player to play his best.
Parents who butter up the coach reveal a lack of confidence in their child's
playing ability.
The best coaches aren't necessarily a former star player, but a current star
teacher.
Fear of being benched is not a motivator.
If parents and coaches want perspective, try hitting against Mariano Rivera.
Coaches should never pick on one player or one play. Losses don't happen that
way.
It's not burn-out! Kids rarely stop doing things they love to do.
Words I've never heard: "Sorry guys, we were just out-coached today."
The movie was wrong, "there IS crying in baseball" and every other sport
kids play.
