TIGERS BASEBALL. NEVER LOOK DOWN ON SOMEONE, UNLESS YOU ARE HELPING THEM UP.

[RICK DOBNAK 🇺🇸 @CplRICK]

TRUTH!!!

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

I've had a lifetime of ups, downs, and sideways.

Baseball. Failure. Faith. Rock bottom. Redemption.

And the one lesson that ties all of it together?

You don't become better by avoiding hard.

You become better by embracing it...

I'm a broken, flawed man and I've made mistakes I'm not proud of.

I've let people down...not by choice, but I let them down.

But how I reacted to those moments? That's where the growth lived.

Here's what a lifetime of hard actually taught me.

Lesson #1: Life is going to be hard. That's not a warning, that's a promise.

People are going to be messy.

You're going to make mistakes.

The speed of life doesn't slow down for any of us.

What you control:
• Whether you embrace hard or run from it
• Whether you get better or just get bitter
• What your first thought is when your feet hit the floor in the morning

There's so much more value in pushing through hard times and coming out the other side.

Lesson #2: You can't outrun what you're supposed to grow through.

I numbed failure instead of walking through it.

I told myself it was working.

It wasn't.

Eventually, the hard you've been running from catches up.

And when it does you either let it break you or let it build you.

I've walked through all the challenges, all the ups, all the downs, all the sideways.

And I think every single one of them put me in a position I was handpicked for.

Hard doesn't disqualify you.

It prepares you for what's next.

Lesson #3: Be Steadfast. Be Persistent. Be Resilient.

Those aren't traits you're born with.

They're what's left after hard things do their work on you.

They didn't come from the easy stretches

They came from character that wasn't there before

Empathy I couldn't have had without the hard

Today is the only one we're promised.

Don't waste it running from hard.

Embrace it.

I share these lessons every time I speak because every room has people in the middle of their own hard.

Today is the @uspbl All-Star Game!

Congratulations to all of the players who earned the opportunity to participate in today’s event. It should be a great day at UWM Field, featuring our skills competition, Home Run Derby, and All-Star Game.

I also wanted to take a moment to provide a quick midseason update on our league and our players. There has been a lot of progress, energy, and momentum across the USPBL, and today is a great opportunity to celebrate the players who have earned this recognition.

We hope to see you today at UWM Field!

[Kansas City Royals @Royals]

@tdelappe I’ve used it in so many different scenarios I’ve lost count.

[Tom DeLappe @tdelappe]

This is great advice when things don't go your way or your in a funk - in baseball, golf and life - you can't do anything about what just happened

Outstanding effort from Randy Dobnak tonight.

In his second appearance with the Royals, he delivered 5.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen. He scattered three singles, walked three, and struck out two.
