Losing is normally not a good measure of success. Last week, we lost to a good Lake Oconee team and unfortunately our season was over at (25-9). It's never what we want, when it ends before we want it to. Even so, this year was amazing! Two things:
Your goals need to be unattainable.
Your team needs to believe they are attainable.
This team was pretty upset after losing out shy of their goal. What was that goal? Final four appearance or State Championship game. I didn't speak to a single person who believed that this team could do any of that. Several people said "we can make a run", but that's not a belief in what will happen. That's an open statement that leaves room for failure. I admit, I didn't believe we could win it all either. Even though people said this team hadn't played anyone or this team wasn't as good as their record showed, these kids believed it was doable. They believed with everything that they had, they were good enough. Any one who is not in pursuit of the goal becomes an obstacle. For example, me telling my son, "well, y'all probably won't go that far", might convince him that they aren't good enough. It's a mindset that negates team unity. I couldn't tell my son they weren't going to win. He knew they were going to. It became their mantra. It was their culture. You win when you expect to win.
That mindset is not natural.It's developed. It takes a leader to instill that kind of confidence. Someone who has lived it and is mentally in that place all of the time. Enter Coach Seth Sitzman. I've been around baseball for 40+ years as a player, as a coach and a father of a player. I've never seen someone do it like Sitz. On the surface, he's pretty lay low. He doesn't like attention. He doesn't let just anyone in. He's hard to read. Almost everything opposite of me!
Which, brings me to my point. Sitz did this far different than what I've ever seen or what I've ever done. He instilled a work ethic in every child that trusted him. (Notice I didn't just say "every child") I saw young ladies this year who didn't want to play softball in the weight room doing work. I saw those same girls in the off-season in the cages getting cuts in. Why? Sitz let them know that winning doesn't just happen because it has always happened. It takes you outworking your opponent and when your opponent is better, you work harder.
In 9th grade my son was ready to quit baseball. It wasn't because a coach or what was in place already. It was because he wasn't playing. His 9th grade peers were playing and he was sitting on the bench. I told him, "Son, use the bench to make you work harder." His only thought process was, "I'll just play what I'm good at it." It wasn't about working harder. It was about being seen where he was. Where he was, wasn't good enough and that was it for him.
This past summer Sitz challenged Brylan to gain 15 pounds from the weight room. Where I thought, "yeah right", Brylan thought, "Bet." At the beginning of this season, his junior year, Brylan weighed in at 20 pounds more than his sophomore season with pretty much 0 body fat. Which immediately impacted basketball as well as his year in baseball. Brylan made 1st team all region last year in baseball as a left fielder. He made 1st team all region in basketball and again 1st team all region in baseball from center field this year.
I don't say that to brag on my son. I say that to thank Coach Sitzman for believing in my son. I say that to say thanks to Sitz for how he drives every single person around him to be better. My child is genuinely different because of Sitz. He loves baseball, but more than anything, he loves competing. Sitz challenged that without degrading him or embarrassing him. You can mean business and demand respect without belittling your players. I can only speak for what I've seen. What he's done for Brylan, he's done for hundreds of other kids.
The smile on my son's face in this picture, is the proof of the confidence you bring to your players.
I can't thank you enough Seth Sitzman for what you've done. These 2 years have been awesome! The conversations, the scheming, the memes, it's all been phenomenal. I can't imagine next year without your family in the building. You busted your tail on that field for those boys until the very last pitch! I commend you for that. I know that God will open a door at some point. You are meant to coach, so I know it's coming! My advice to you would be enjoy your family. Take in the quiet. Enjoy the peace of Jesus. The ride will sometimes be uncomfortable but it always levels out. I love you brother! I wish you well and I will ALWAYS be in your corner...

Hey Coach Sitz, it’s Wrigley. Just wanted to let you know I got the chance to go to North Carolina and play in the Costal Plains League and it’s an opportunity I can’t pass up, in terms of getting to travel somewhere new and experience a new place. With that being said I won’t be in the corn belt this year. As much as I am excited for North Carolina, I’m really going to miss playing for you. You truly were one of the best coaches I’ve ever had, even if it was just for a short summer. I have so much respect for you, and strive to be a man like you someday. You were the role model I needed this summer, and you gave me the realization that there is something to strive for in this life not just in baseball, but also becoming a man and finding a purpose. I pray that you continue to keep being that role model and continue to make a positive impact on everyone in your life. Words can’t describe how much this short summer playing under you meant. Keep taking care of that beautiful family of yours and I pray that we stay in touch. From the bottom of my heart thank you Coach Sitz, thank you!
Brylan
well the season has came to a end.. but I want to get on here for a minute and talk about Seth Sitzman. The dedication this coach had to this program was unreal, we were doubted all year long. All we were all year was doubted. Nobody believed in us, all year long coach sitz did, coach Mason Beacham did, and we the team, believed in us. Ninth grade year I didn’t want to play baseball, I felt like I wasn’t good enough, coach sitz seen something in me I never did see. He told me to come out because he seen something in me, I will always remember that. From a program that hasn’t been region contenders in 10 years, to getting runner up, and making a sweet 16 appearance. Coach sitz was the man. Anna Sitzman thank you for everything you done for us. From always making sure we were provided more, making callouts all game, but most importantly, you and coach Sitz treated us like family. To Lyla and carson, we love yall so much, yall were like a little brother and sister to all of us.
with all that being said.
We don’t have a single senior. Not 1, I promise that you will see us back here again.
