Think progress, not perfection.

[Brooke Fletcher @BrookeFletcher]

Derek Hill told me he journals after every at-bat. Tracking what opposing pitchers throw, how the pitches look, and the result.

Before facing Matt Strahm tonight, he went back to notes from when he faced him earlier this season in KC. His note?

“Slider or something down. Look in. Make a pull early and get it out front.”

Tonight’s homer came on a slider down and in. Preparation paying off. 🫡 #whitesox

From opening weekend to today, every moment has prepared us for the next. Playing for the guys next to us and fighting to keep going.

We prove ourselves game after game and we’re ready to prove it again.

Time to battle ⚔️

The 5 Virtues of Good Leadership:

1. Courage

5. Wisdom

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

Be the person in someone's life who refuses to let them settle.

Think about the person in your life who believed in you before you believed in yourself. Who pushed you when you wanted to quit. Who refused to let you play small.

Now ask yourself — am I being that person for someone else? Someone around you needs that right now.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Stop assuming they know.
Teach everything.

How to warm up.
How to compete.
How to win.
How to lose.
How to be a great teammate.

The best coaches simplify and teach.
Nobody else will.

“Earning and deserving the confidence that you play with because of the work that you put in and then not being afraid of failure,” Steph Curry

Confidence isn’t something you feel, it’s something you earn with relentless will and practice.
