Before some get on and start beating the heck out of me on this one, I need to explain what I am talking about.

When a coach/teacher LIE's to their kids on a daily basis, the student/athletes will be doing 3 things:

quote:

L - Learning
I - Improving
E - Enjoying

IF you are not LIE'ng to your kids, then it's time to find another profession.

As a good friend always shares with me, "Milburn, you can NEVER fool the kids, they know!"

If you are being sincere and genuinely trying to help the kids, then they will respond and respect you.

BUT If you blowing smoke, then you will not be successful for to terribly long as the truth will surface.

Last thing, someone shared this with me, you want to see a successful college baseball program, then in most cases you will see the Head Coach out recruiting as well.

Respectfully shared,
Coach Milburn

I coached AAU with a friend awhile back , son makes an error , comes off the field after 3rd out , coach walks up and says that's alright son , just drive in more than you let in .

I'm just really glad to be here , hope I can do my part to help the team !

Heard these before thought I'd pass along.

We didn't lose that game we just ran out of innings.

If yesterday is still on your mind you haven't did enough today.

Don't stop playing hard you never know who's watching.

Baseball is a game of errors who makes the least will probably win.

"You want a full scholarship? Well, you better be a **** good student, a **** good football player, or a female athlete, 'cause baseball players don't get full scholarships"

I was on a deer lease for about 10 years with the late Scout Red Murph, who signed Nolan Ryan to his first big league contract way back when.

I asked him one day what he looked for in a hitter and he said "I need the hitter to be able to hit it out of the park" and then he paused and said "Yellowstone Park".

Watching an NAIA Super Series game in Oklahoma, OCU players misses third base on his way home from second and is called out. Coach says "How the hel do you miss third base, it's been there for over 100 years"

I thought this was a great post. It was in a Texas thread titled Top Senior Players in the area ? :

He came over the other night and fell asleep during the Super Bowl. He and Mom left at half time to avoid Sunday night "traffic" on I-75.

He eats pepper gravy and wonder bread with sweet tea for dinner twice a week.

We bought him a DBAT Mustang blue snuggie that he wears everyday and is rumored to wear it outside when he goes to the mailbox.

He will watch his grandson debut for DBU on 2/19 no matter what the temperature is...Now that is a Top Senior...

Heres to you pops.
