Another way to lose control is to ignore something when you should address it.

I personally developed the Academy training program. All our training is based on solid educational principles. We present the material in four training formats: lecture, demonstration, drill, and implementation.

The Florida State League was considered the top A-league back then. You played in the spring training parks of major league teams, traveled throughout some great cities in Florida, and the pay was the best in A-ball.

As a youngster, I played in Little League, Pony League, and all sorts of amateur baseball programs growing up.

If you don't think every day is a great day try going without one.

I literally paid my way through the University of Texas with my umpiring.

My main objective is to prepare candidates for professional baseball; however, the majority of our graduates will go home as much better qualified amateurs.
