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.

@VicLombardi@ballhog44 why is DA consistently resting Joker from the 7min - 3min in the 4th quarter of close games? Seems to be happening more frequently and is questionable…
I’m yet to hear a compelling argument why FBS can’t just copy the already existing FCS 24-team playoff format.
Top 8 ranked teams earn byes
Top 7 conf champs get AQs
17 at-large bids
Seed everyone 1–24

This is awesome and I know the perfect person! @eck0730 will be there with his son! He definitely deserves this experience with his boy! Make it happen @Broncos !
Love coach Prime but he needs a Jerry Rosburg on the staff to help him with clock management…
Hate to say it but he came from the Hackett school of situational awareness. @RyanKoenigsberg@ScottProcter_@JakeDNVR
That said JuJu is the truth!
@FieldYates I truly believe if the Cardinals went to Jacoby Brissett they would see a significantly more productive offense. Kyler too small and ain’t it…
