More than ever, kids will need us to be positive, no matter what the fall looks like!

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

The thing I wish my 14-year-old self knew earlier.

I made everything bigger than it was.

(This is a life lesson, too)

Every at-bat felt like the whole season was on the line.

Game 7 of the World Series with 50k people watching.

And that's the thing that beat me. Not the pitcher. That exact feeling.

Self-imposed pressure.

You make it up in your head.

The pitch is the only real thing in front of you.

One pitch.
Simple, focused.

Everything else, let it go.

It's this pitch. Then the next one.

Just like you're in the backyard with the boys, where nothing exists but the ball coming in.

Not thinking about girls.
The chores you gotta do.
What's for dinner.

Compete like crazy on that one pitch. Give it everything you've got.

Just don't drag a hundred things into the box that don't need to be there.

One pitch. The only real thing.
Win it, then go win the next one.

That's the advice I've sent to hitters that struggle with the same thing, and it's worked really well.

Coaches: You can be both tough/demanding AND fun/loving.
You don't have to choose one or the other.

@MichaelHirnPBP @CoachFishpaw @DubeMatt I used to hate bunting. Now it’s a must in the HS game.

Maddo…we still can’t believe you’re gone. You were more than a teammate — you were FAMILY! The energy you brought every day, the way your smile lifted everyone around you…

We’ll carry you with us every day & we’ll make sure THEY REMEMBER YOUR NAME!

Rest easy brother 💔👼🏼

Baseball is a life lesson in disguise.

You’ll fail. A lot.
You won’t control the outcome.
You’ll get humbled fast.

But if you stick with it…
You learn discipline.
You learn toughness.
You learn how to respond.

That’s why the game matters ⚾️💯

[Kevin Leady @KevLeady4]

Flush it, get back to work! 🦅⚾️

[Dan Cevette @DanCevette]

HS Baseball Players ⚾️

You WILL go 0-3
You WILL make errors
You WILL have bad outings
Other teams WILL talk crap

That’s baseball.

It’s built to expose you, and it's built on failure.

Don’t get emotional… get better.

Because your RESPONSE is louder than anything they say 💯

[Kevin Leady @KevLeady4]

Great perspective here for baseball and life.

“Shower well”

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.

Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.

He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.

Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"

I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."

The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.

Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.

But at game time, the tires were flat.

I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.

Now it was time to reset.

"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest

Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.

Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.

I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.

Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.

You can carry all of that through your front door.

Or you can shower well.

I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.

The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.

Either we win. Or we learn.

The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.

So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.

Tomorrow is a new at-bat.

What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

🚨 Kentucky Baseball : Team Philosophy

• How quickly can you turn the page?
• Live in the present
• Good or Bad… “So what? What’s next?”

⭐️ You get depressed living in the past & you get anxious living in the future. Be where your feet are.

So many things I love about this scene in "For Love of the Game"

Recalling a game of catch with your old man as a way to remind yourself to slow down, take a breath and get back on track, with Vin Scully's guiding us along the way

Very underrated movie
