Watching the Brewers. Why celebrate Foul Balls?
The fan will see the HR’s off Snell. The smart coach will see that 11 pitch at bat mentally and physically fatigued Snell. Death happened by a thousand cuts.
Practice & celebrate fouling balls off
Proud of our 15U kids who went 2-2 vs some of the BEST in USA at the Freshman Worlds in WestPalm. But I’m more proud…
➡️That our kids pray before games together🙏
➡️Leave dugouts spotless
➡️Love each other as brothers
➡️Look Coaches in 👀 when they talk
➡️Hustle all day🙌
Let’s Gooo Cam!!!

This man is a selfless hero. Thank You to every teacher and coach who invests in kids everyday. 🙏❤️💪🙌
THE COACH WHO GAVE EVERYTHING: 💔
Derrick Moore spent 20 years teaching elementary school outside Atlanta. The kids didn't call him "Mr. Moore."
They called him "Coach."
This summer he was standing on a beach in Myrtle Beach when a 10-year-old girl he'd never met got caught in a rip current.
Her name was Summer - and she was going under the waves.
Derrick didn't hesitate.
He swam out to a stranger's child and pushed her toward the other rescuers. He got her out. The same current that let her go took him instead.
His body washed ashore the next day.
He was 47.
He left behind four children of his own.
Think about that.
A man who spent his whole life keeping other people's kids safe in a classroom died keeping one more safe in the water - a girl he'd known for less than a minute.
Summer got to say seven words to his family: "Thank you, I really owe my life to you."
And his mother, who buried her son, said this: "My son is the type of person that would do it again. Even though we lost my son, I'm not mad at anybody."
That's who Derrick Moore was. Not a headline. Not a hashtag. A man who saw a child drowning and decided his own life was the acceptable price.
We spend so much energy arguing about who the good guys are.
Then a schoolteacher walks into the ocean for a stranger and answers the question without saying a word.
Remember his name.
Pray for his four kids.
This is what love looks like when it costs everything.
I love that the Rays and Brewers are figuring it out with the resources they have.
🔥Public High School Coaches have been doing this for years.
If you don’t have the talent they do…Why are you playing the game the way they do?🤦♂️
