The point of this blog is to help college baseball players like myself face and overcome challenges that are attached to academics and sports.
Wrapping Up By Cody Boone
Over the last 12 weeks, you all have tracked my journey of starting and maintaining a blog about what I’m passionate about which is the well-being of college athletes, more specifically baseball players. With every message I have written, there is a message that I have (hopefully) shared. I think that I will continue to… Continue reading Wrapping Up By Cody Boone
Having a Back Up Plan by Cody Boone
It’s safe to say that college athletics, in general, is a cut-throat business. People in high school don’t like to think of college sports as a business, but at the end of the day, it is. If you don’t perform or don’t have the right characteristics to fit into a program, you will get fired.… Continue reading Having a Back Up Plan by Cody Boone
Quarantine by Cody Boone
This week’s post is going to be a little bit different. This time, I’m going to talk about how I pass the time every day during this quarantine, and the things that I didn’t realize I would like and why. For beginners, I started to run. Since my surgery last September, I haven’t run. I… Continue reading Quarantine by Cody Boone
Growing by Cody Boone
When I was a kid growing up all I wanted to do was grow. I have an older brother, and all I wanted to do was hang out with his friends and do what he did because I thought that older was cooler. Growing was the cool thing to do because it meant more responsibility.… Continue reading Growing by Cody Boone
Family by Cody Boone
Typically, we take things for granted and don’t realize what we had until its gone. The same goes for sports, but more specifically baseball. While we are all at school, we are around our teammates 24 hours a day. We all have classes together, eat together, practice together, lift together, goof off with each other… Continue reading Family by Cody Boone
Cherish the Moment by Cody Boone
This week’s topic is a little bit of a change from what we have been previously talking about, but it fits in just the same. Society as a whole has changed dramatically in the last few weeks and for good reason. COVID-19, otherwise known as the coronavirus, has given the entire world a scare like… Continue reading Cherish the Moment by Cody Boone
Making the Most of Your Failures by Cody Boone
Baseball is a game of failure, plain and simple. The best hitters of all time still fail 6 out of every 10 at-bats. One of the best teams record-wise of all time was the 2004 Seattle Mariners. With a record of 116 wins and 46 losses is one of the best in history, and they… Continue reading Making the Most of Your Failures by Cody Boone
Being Held to a Higher Standard by Cody Boone
In a way, baseball is like the real world: every action has consequences. If you do something really good on the field like a diving play, the consequence is an out and momentum for your team. However, if you do something not so good some consequences are more serious like potentially costing your team the… Continue reading Being Held to a Higher Standard by Cody Boone
Time Management by Cody Boone
Everyone has their perceptions about college. Most of those include having plenty of time to go to class, get their homework done, go out with friends and time left over to kick back and relax without having to worry about graduating. While these perceptions may be accurate for regular college students, it’s a whole different… Continue reading Time Management by Cody Boone
Moving Forward by Cody Boone
As I sit here and collect my thoughts and ideas about this blog and how to start, one thing sticks out. The game of baseball itself. Baseball is a very complex game that shares a lot of characteristics with the game of Chess; both very strategic and complex and if you get caught up in… Continue reading Moving Forward by Cody Boone
