Right support, thought you could win, and win in post season on regular basis Have to have really good players Recruiting has stayed consistent Staff has stayed consistent Starts on a regular basis - can you show up everyday Admin has been supportive to be consistent Ultimate student athlete experienceLeave liberty and saying WOW All parts of life Baseball part last because if other parts are not bigger then baseball will not be as best Keep priorities in line - habits and routines in place to make  Frame the habits and routinesWake up Food Class Food Stadium How does it look for you? Stack enough good days and body knows what to expect Check in with players to see what does work for them Connect with the kids that has nothing to do with baseball.  Relationship not just built on the game I don’t want our relationship to be all about baseball and tied to the player performance Come down to the park and leave everything and just be yourself at the ballpark! We talk about trust a lot with our players As long as we trust each other we can get through anything Staff meetings to keep pulse of players to see who needs a sit down and who is just having a bad day To establish trust you have to talk about your plan and goals for the kidsHow are we going to tackle (bullpen, grades, on time, etc) Make our team collectively and individually not worry and trust  Stop and listen, let kids talk, ask questions, get to know the details Never say I have seen it all! Office door is always open The amount of time that things happen exactly the way they thought it would is very small.  Bring your mother on a visit to know that someone will take care of your son If it’s just the baseball piece, don’t come here! It will come across really genuine or it will come across as a used car salesman/artificial Evolved over time with a passion for connection  Are we delivering on the things we told these kids  God has a plan for your life that is way better than what you have planned Life is about people and about relationships The more simple and direct, the easier it is to look back on it When you get outside yourself you will be surprised how much better you can perform Waited a couple years to focus on a couple pillars Focus on those 3 pillars fully everyday and then Omaha takes care of itself, its a byproduct  Started with relationships with the kids and having fun with the kids on the field. I wanted it to be authentic and genuine Be there for them!! Be part of their journey and feel like I am fighting for them Keep eyes open on staff that are a great fit! Created a job description for the new positions on staff If you have a passion for people, we all have a passion for baseball, but you have to have a passion for people.  Keep your head down and not worry about what is next Be so good with the relationships you are in right now, be where your feet are, and be present in the relationships you have The right place, the right people (trust), you will get through things that come up
