Early in my coaching career, the thought was wins vs losses determined what type of program you ran. There have many a year where, if that were true, we would have been at the bottom for sure. Not winning a single game at the state tournament in 12 yrs, going 0-2 every time. Not winning regionals for many years and not qualifying for state in the same amount of years.
Winning isn't the goal.
The goal is to prepare young men for what lies ahead of them. Commitment, teamwork, selflessness, leadership, and empathy — for each other and others.
This award means more to our program than any win. It tells me that we are doing more than just baseball. Our coaching staff is committed to this and being consistent with our approach. Trusting that we are building young men with character and along the way, they are learning the great game of baseball.
We tip our hat to all the parents and mentors who have influence over these young men and share the common goal.
