Many parents will say they want a coach who holds their child accountable… Until the coach holds some of their children accountable. Then we need a meeting, two administrators, game film, witness statements, and possibly congressional oversight.

Congrats to the NFL Hall of Fame class of 2026 Pay attention young athletes! Two great lessons can be learned from these all time greats. While coaches and parents may pressure you to specialize in one sport don’t listen to them! Be an athlete not a specialist. While you may be tempted to transfer for a better opportunity or a guaranteed starting job….get better where you are and make your TEAM better! I give you Exhibits A, B, C, D, E Drew Brees played varsity football, basketball, and baseball at Westlake High School Adam Vinatieri lettered in wrestling, basketball, track, and soccer at Rapid City High School Luke Kuechly played football (LB, TE, and S) and lacrosse at St Xavier Larry Fitzgerald played football, basketball, and ran track and field at Academy of Holy Angels Roger Craig played football, wrestled, and ran track and field at Central Davenport High School Be an athlete, not a specialist!! Be great where you are. Don’t take the easy way out to a better team. Make the team you are on great.

The best thing to happen in America in a long time is our privilege to host the World Cup. Countries from across the globe have been able to see for themselves what our country is all about. They haven’t had to rely on what the media tells them.

HC Cliff Godwin on the 2026 ECU Baseball Team: “3 weeks ago we were dead, and today we were fighting for a regional championship. They just kept fighting and they never quit, and that’s what being an East Carolina Pirate is all about.”

For the past 8 years, the Raleigh community has been building a baseball movement from the ground up. But make no mistake, as the real battle to win a franchise begins (and it is about to), our strongest position will be to unite together as North Carolina's team. We have the history, the people, and the passion. This has always been a baseball state, and now it's time that the rest of the nation finds that out. We are the largest state in America without MLB. We are one of only 5 states to boast 3 separate Top-50 media markets; the other 4 all have multiple MLB teams. Phase 1 was to create the groundswell in Raleigh. Phase 2 will be to welcome every market in this great State to become a part of what you helped build. In the coming weeks, we'll be shifting to highlighting not only our capital city, but the entire state of North Carolina. Raleigh's case has been made. The pieces are in place. Now it's time to bring all of those pieces together, and bring MLB to OUR state once and for all. #MLB2NC #StateofBaseball #RaleighOnDeck
