Carson came in, in a tough spot last night, bottom of the 4th bases loaded and no outs. Struck out the first 2 he faced. Went 3.1 innings to pick up his 2nd win of the summer. @Victor_Lang12 He had that look in his eyes. #IFYKYK@BCcougsbaseball
The #Jets signed a 6-foot-7 OL? YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT!
Landon Young has played 4 of the 5 offensive line positions at the #NFL level. He spent his entire career w/ the #Saints before making the Jets roster over the weekend.

Baseball has a way of humbling you fast.
One pitch, one swing, one play… and everything changes. You can be locked in one moment and searching the next. It doesn’t wait for you to feel ready again, and it rarely feels fair. You can do everything right and still fail. You can make one mistake and feel it follow you longer than it should.
That’s the game.
But it’s not just the game. It’s life.
Plans don’t always work. Effort doesn’t always produce the outcome you expected. You can prepare, show up, do your part… and still face setbacks you didn’t see coming.
And in those moments, something else is happening beneath the surface.
Adversity doesn’t just test you. I
t reveals you.
It shows you what you carry into the next moment. Frustration or focus. Doubt or discipline. Excuses or ownership. And over time, those small internal decisions shape everything.
The best baseball players don’t carry the last mistake into the next moment. They don’t let frustration speed them up. They don’t make the moment bigger than it is.
They stay present. Next pitch.
That’s not ignoring what happened. It’s choosing not to let it control what happens next. Because when you stay locked in on what’s in front of you, you give yourself a chance to respond instead of react.
And that’s where growth happens.
So when things don’t go your way, don’t let it linger. Don’t let it define you. Step back in, slow it down, and compete again.
That’s how you build toughness.
One moment at a time.

When I visit our Minor League clubs, I don't just jump right into coaching.
The first thing I do is listen and watch. I start "collecting coins."
"Collecting coins" is finding out about who the players really are. I want to learn about them.
Were there two parents in the house growing up? Just mom? Just dad? Any mentors? Did they love school or struggle with it? What do they like to do when they're not on the field? Movies? Books? How do they learn best?
Anyone can read a scouting report and tell you about their arm strength or speed.
But real trust starts building when you take the time to learn about who someone really is.
Here's what I've learned: nobody lets you coach them until they trust you.
And they won't trust you until they know you care about them as a person, not just what they can do on the field.
Make a difference today.
Love, Clint
