Homecoming week.
Orange and Black day. ⚜️
I slacked on the black … sorry. 🤷♂️
Be a reason kids enjoy school, not despise it. 👊
You are capable of way more than you realize.
Marathon No. 4 in the books. This one, by far, challenged me physically and mentally more than the other three. Wasn’t even close to a PR today, but I finished … and that was the biggest win, by far.
I stand by the fact that 26.2 (or any kind of ultra-marathons) is one of the toughest things ever a human can attempt.
Try hard things.
Toe the starting line and try.
You might be amazed at what you can actually accomplish.

We got mail!
Another congrats to our 2026 Saints Baseball program for being recognized by the @ABCA1945 for their Team Academic Excellence Award. The 2026 Saints were one of around 300 high schools across the country to be recognized for their achievements in the classroom!
The idea that baseball players should not lift heavy with certain movements because it “will put unnecessary strain on (insert body part)” is crazy.
Strength translates.
Do your homework.
Use correct form.
Use weight that you can control.
Lift with intent = create power.
Lifting heavy is essential … period.

Been working hard this offseason with @bsf_pitching and i’m seeing improvement in all my pitches. In my most recent bullpen I was sitting 84-86 and topped 87. Below are some videos from my most recent pen. @foulkesie20 @CoachSutor @AHQRecruits @stce_baseball @LukeWStewart
Hi @mzerkleee,
I have a 10-year old softball-obsessed daughter who is a huge fan and wants to be you for Halloween. Any style tips on what she can wear to dress exactly like her role model? 😎
Forever grateful,
A Baseball Dad 😁

Excited to see who’s next against Highland Park in week 2!
A trend I can actually get behind …
I love the fact that high schoolers are bringing back “kids” backpacks.
Yes, It’s a little goofy.
But, it’s fun to see them having fun with it and being themselves.
If you can’t have fun with life, you’re doing it wrong!
A lot of the time, the issue isn’t your work ethic or drive. Most people are hungry to be great.
It’s your patience.
Your ability to be consistent, putting in the work day in and out, even after the newness has worn off, through progress and stalls, will determine how great you will truly be.
Be consistently patient.

This week, I’ve had players ask if I could open up the field after school so they could hit and/or throw. I happily obliged. They …
✅ Asked beforehand
✅ Wore helmets when hitting in the cages/on field
✅ Cleaned up all equipment (screens, machines, cords, etc.)
✅ Picked up every ball
✅ Did extra work on their own
That’s the standard.⚜️
This is genuinely one of the best threads on how to drop fat and gain muscle. Simple, realistic and VERY achievable.
Consistency is the key.
Always has been.
Always will be.
