Tee Time

Posted by Parent on December 14, 2025, 9:11 am

All you potential recruits could really impress the coaches with sub-zero tee work videos.

As a service to everyone, I hereby release all intellectual property ownership into the public domain with the following.... This is guaranteed to work, just drop in your video alongside it!

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

People always ask how I balance everything.

I don’t.

While my competitors were sleeping last night, I was in the driveway at 2 AM getting reps in. Because elite athletes don’t operate on normal clocks.

• Friends? Don't need them.
• School events? Don't want them.
• Sleep? Don't bother.

Watch me give 150% with:
– 1,000+ swings a day
– 800+ throws a day
– A laminated list of doubters
– Faith in God
– Trust in the grind

This morning it was 14 degrees, and I was hitting off a tee before school because game ready doesn’t wait for spring - and pain is only temporary.

College coaches don’t see the late nights.
They don’t see the frozen tears.
But my Savior does.

Not saying I’m better than anyone else.
Just saying I want it more.

Great job. Now make fun of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan's work ethic next.

Maybe start with how Dean Smith told MJ how much work it will take to be the best player to ever play at UNC. Which was his goal. I'm sure you can clown on him too.

Dude, time for a gummy.

It's the off-season, and it's okay to make fun of ourselves (which this is doing). We're all a part of this - the good and the bad.

No one is recommending kids don't work hard. Nor is anyone saying that you shouldn't use social media to promote yourself. Everyone understands that it's part of the game here.

But we should also all know that there are plenty of examples of kids/parents going WAY too far with both.

Maybe you can make fun of Bill for holding a winter camp for players to get better. Is that a closer comparison for you cupcake?

I would absolutely make fun of him if he did it shirtless in the freezing rain, sporting a Born To Coach tramp stamp.

I know this really struck a nerve for you, but quit trying to make yourself a victim. Nobody is mocking players for showing the work they put in; what's being mocked is the ridiculous backstory they feel compelled to add to make their effort seem greater than others'. You, as a parent, may think that's completely badass, but it's really demeaning to the real work they're putting in.

Why am I the party that it struck a nerve with? I responded to a post making fun of kids putting in extra work, and posting it on Twitter/X. Seems to me the party still wanting to support that
bully mindset is the triggered party. But keep spinning it.

We opened up a facility last night for some college athletes who are home on break. They wanted to get some work in over the break. I bet that's really hilarious to you.

Please let us know where your daughter plays, so we can steer as far away as we can. It's one thing having a weak work ethic. It's next level to knock athletes with healthy work ethics.

Both are about competition & work ethic.

Levels are different, sure.

Matt Lisle:
HS Athletes: If only 7% of you will play at the next level, can you HONESTLY say that you’re out working 93% of the rest of the high schoolers in the country?

Talent sets the floor.

Character and hard work set the ceiling.

Keep making fun of those reaching to be the 7%.

Re: Tee Time

Posted by @Black Mamba on December 20, 2025, 7:42 am, in reply to "Re: Tee Time"

According to your statement, the 7% are already genetically chosen.

Re: Tee Time

That’s ignorance speaking. Genetics/talent has a lot to do with it. But work ethic is much more important than.

Re: Tee Time

100% true.

Re: Tee Time

While you can squander talent, but to be great you have to be built right. Most kids who reach a DI P4 level are probably talented from day one and were the best kids on their basketball, Volleyball, etc., teams as younger athletes. It is what it is, no harm in putting the work in to maximize what you're given.

I could have played in the NFL if I had only worked harder.

Talent or potential gets you on the roster.

Work ethic gets you into the lineup.

“It's just better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you think the other person wants.” Matt Damon.

Remember most actors struggle to make a living. less than 2% of actors make enough to cover their expenses. Matt Damon is worth 170 million.

I don’t think we’re making fun of kids… it’s the moms and dads.

Taking a gummy is great advice.

Just saw this post on Twitter/X.

Scored a 95 on my AP Calculus final then headed out to get some work in with bestie! Focused on really driving my lower half!

Maybe you all can make fun of this post now?

She should be looking into the UAA Conference, lots of money and a world class education available.

I have a hard time trusting high level athletes who get good grades. I think they are not real. Most likely a disturbance in the simulation we all live in. A glitch in the matrix you may say.

If she got a 95% on the AP calculous test, then she's out of the box when she slaps.

Does anyone know if hitting snowballs with a softball bat will void the warranty?

Yes. Get those tee’s and hit in the snow. College coaches love that. Also make sure you post that mail you got that they send to thousands of kids.

Re: Tee Time

Posted by Wow on December 15, 2025, 9:14 am, in reply to "Re: Tee Time"

Unbelievable. Travel coaches preach to their players to work AND use social media to promote yourself.

Now the girls are doing what they're being told, and you geniuses are making fun of them. Just stop.

Re: Tee Time

Posted by @@wow on December 15, 2025, 2:23 pm, in reply to "Re: Tee Time"

I’m outside now with my daughter in 0° weather hitting her ground balls in the snow. She is only wearing a t-shirt to show how strong she is. These college coaches will love this!! I’ll be updating my daughters X soon. Also my daughter won’t be going to her prom since she has practice. I’ll also put that on her list to show that my daughter is very very serious about playing college softball.

Re: Tee Time

Posted by @Wow on December 15, 2025, 11:02 am, in reply to "Re: Tee Time"

I read these comments as good-natured ribbing... don't let it get to you...

No travel ball coaches are telling kids to hit in the snow. Yet it happens!

Social media is a tool, but it's one that is used badly plenty too.

Re: Tee Time

Posted by Woww on December 15, 2025, 10:01 am, in reply to "Re: Tee Time"

Really? Take a joke! Yes use social media but come on, some of these posts are ridiculous. You have to be a mother that does your daughter’s social media. Let them do it all.

Re: Tee Time

Posted by Actually on December 15, 2025, 12:05 pm, in reply to "Re: Tee Time"

I said absolutely nothing about hitting in the snow. That was the geniuses pushing that narrative.

Also, my daughter plays with many high level travel softball players, who do their own social media. Just because your daughter doesn't, don't assume that all travel players are as undriven.
