Day 2 of Ballcoach's Countdown....
Days to the Season: 150
Days to Christmas Day: 192
Tomorrow, it will go back to Crown....thank you for letting me do this for a couple of days! It's always fun...
Before I go....a quick story. When I coached my first baseball game, my Dad was there to support me. We didn't win...we lost in extra innings....but he gave me advice that day that would stick with me through the coming years of my professional life. We made a couple of base running errors that cost us the game and he told me after it was over...
Son, just take care of the little things and you will be alright.
Fast forward eight years to the last state tourney I coached in. We won our first quarter final game in school history by "doing the little things." After it was over, he put his arm around me....told me how proud he was of me...and jokingly reminded me that he was the reason I was there....because I took his saying to heart.
Well, I'm where I'm at today....because my Dad modeled taking care of the little things for me when I was a kid....and when my daughter is born...I will continue taking care of the little things, just like my Dad did....
Happy Father's Day!
