Mental reps are SO underrated!

We always hear about the game “slowing down” for a player. That's something you experience, not necessarily something you can explain. While live bullets are always the best thing for this process, taking your mental reps when you're not the one in the drill or on the field can greatly speed this process up.

Mental reps help you “see it,” then experience allows you to “do it.” And the more mentally prepared you make yourself, the shorter that window becomes.

When you've completed that process, you then have confidence. As in “real” confidence, meaning it was grown from the ground up. And while there are times when players can “fake” confidence, typically those types of players are frontrunners. Meaning, they're great, they're a leader and cheerleader when things are great.

But those that have built “real” confidence through putting both the mental and physical work in have the ability to continue to function and lead even when things are at their toughest.

Like Saturday night in a crazy environment and when OSU got down 14-3. Coach Morris stayed patient, Mestemaker trusted him, and the confidence they showed in the overall plan, even though at that moment it wasn't perfect, is what allowed them to respond and eventually win the game.

So, in many ways, the WVU game had more “rubber meeting the road” to it than the Oregon game did because that was a “foxhole” game.

⬇️ Cowboy Baseball Scrimmage Action

If you're a baseball fan, this one's for you. We've got video and analysis of all the action from the opening weekend of scrimmages.

There are a lot of newcomers in this video, from freshmen like Josiah Morris to transfers like Sean Yamaguchi. Oh, and Hunter Watkins was back, and we cover him right off the bat. So give it a look and get a sneak peek at what this year's team looks like.

🚨 FULL TRANSPARENCY ALERT! 🚨

For every scholarship OSU baseball wants to raise money for, I'm being told the cost is $50,000, and then there is an additional 20% penalty added to that amount.

I have done the best research and digging that I'm willing to do, and I have not been able to come up with exactly why that additional 20% is there or where that money goes.

I'd genuinely love to know.

And here's why I think it's important: IMO, fans do NOT trust the NIL process, so the more transparency we can provide about exactly where their money is going, the better.

Having said that, this is not an OSU baseball thing in terms of not being able to answer those questions, so please don't attribute that to them. In fact, quite the opposite. To make up for some of the lack of clarity in the overall process, the program is willing to be so transparent that you can literally tell them how you want your dollars spent.

Now, having said that...

Let's get the 1,000 people for $1,000 started today.

The idea has been proposed, and everything is in place for the program to host an event every year with entertainment that costs $1,000 to attend. The problem is, they haven't been able to find an entertainer who would be willing to do it for little enough that the proceeds actually go back to the program rather than largely going to the entertainer.

And I think this is important, because it shows you that Coach Holliday doesn't want you to just give. He wants to give something back to you, too.

A fun night of entertainment with all the coaches, several players, and some of the greats from OSU baseball — all while becoming a member of the $1,000 Club — honestly sounds like a pretty good return to me.

More importantly, it sounds like something that could be sustainable year after year and continue to grow.

So, if you know an entertainer who would be willing to do this, please let the program know, because everything else is in place.

That's the ONLY piece they don't have, and YOU can help make this happen. You can literally be THE reason this gets done, and OSU baseball reaches its goals.

OSU Baseball: The $50,000 Scholarship Question & The $1,000 Club
⚾ OSU BASEBALL FANS, LISTEN UP!

Time is running out for you to be a part of the BIG Pro-Am Golf Tournament on November 9th. The program has secured some of the greatest players ever to wear the uniform, and the cause couldn't be more fundamental: scholarships.

So, let me peel this one back!

OSU baseball fans expect Omaha, and, in full transparency, I think the vast majority of diehards are pretty motivated to figure out what needs to happen to put this program in position to do that. And the first step is to make sure it is competitive in terms of the resources it has compared to the competition, and the ability to offer competitive packages to acquire talent.

Money is players, and that's just the way this generation of college athletics works. Totally understood if that turns you off, or if you're not a fan of the way things are headed, but, as they say, it is what it is. So, we either step up or get left behind.

But... All of that has been taken into the equation, which is why the focus of the fundraising for OSU baseball is going specifically toward providing scholarships for the players on the roster. You have the ability to know EXACTLY where your money is being spent. If you want to buy a player's books, then earmark that. Want to earmark a specific player? You can do that, too. Now you know what you've helped provide. That's the kind of transparency that is being offered.

And here's the thing. For OSU to be at the top of the spending tree in total, the baseball program would need $5 million a year. Not to be negative, or to sell the program short, but that's not going to happen. But we can get closer to that than we are now.

It sounds daunting and out of reach until you think of it like this: 1,000 people × $1,000 = $1 MILLION.
We can do that.

Be a part of the $1,000 Club, and you can start by either sponsoring, playing in, or just donating to the Golf Tournament on November 9th.

The expectations are awesome. Don't ever lower them. What I ask, on the other hand, is that we raise the realistic opportunities this program has to reach them by us all doing our part and doing what we can. #GoPokes #OkState
