Welcome Back Gators! Tuesday August 20th, we will have a meeting for all athletes at 3pm in the CLS theater. This is for any athlete that will be participating in a sport. We will then do an all athlete picture on August 22nd at 3:00pm in the main gym.

Thank you Vans Enterprises for all your work on the varsity infield today. The infield re-grade and edging looks fantastic.

Danny Jansen will become the first player to play for both teams in one MLB game when the Red Sox resume a game against his old team, the Blue Jays, on Monday The game was suspended when he was hitting, so he will catch against his own pinch-hitter (via MLB Scoring Changes)

Cub’s Cody Bellinger with a “movement before action” steal of 3B. His movement (shuffle) is taken before the pitcher moves. When pitchers are too predictable or their overall body language gives away their intent to initiate the pitch, they are vulnerable.

The home plate project came out spectacular! So fortunate to get this completed this fall! I know the guys are excited to use it soon!

My dad wanted people to hear this message. But what he really wanted was for people to live it: 1. E+R=O applies to the biggest challenges in life just as it does to the smallest. 2. You can change outcomes even when you can't change the circumstances. 3. Even in the worst

What a great day at the Friendly Confines today. Awesome to watch these guys prepare before the game. The boys loved the experience! Thank you Tom

FIRST SALT MEETING TOMORROW! 730AM in the CONTEST GYM. Please enter main entrance. Open TO ALL ATHLETES!

You won’t win by complaining. You win by competing. The moment you stop complaining and start competing is the moment you stop losing and start winning. Winners compete. Losers complain.

The CLS athletics @GetoneWord of the week is Confidence. If you are putting in the work and preparing, confidence will/should come with it. Be confident in your abilities from the preparation you put in to be your best!

The WKU Baseball Crew is absolutely dominating their Armored Heat this Fall!! Pumped to watch these guys dice up some hitters this year 💪🔥📈
