NEVER TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GRANTED. Don’t do it. If you have the opportunity you did something right to get it so please, make the best and most of it! If you don’t know HOW to do that, call me, I know how to show you HOW to lead w Gratitude and apply 💯 of whatever you have to that opportunity. Simple. 🙏🏽💪🏽
Welcome back to the Creek! We are blessed and excited to add Coach Mike Bartlett back to the staff as an assistant coach. Mike will assist with hitters and infielders and oversee player development. @CchBartlett24@cecil_joyce Let’s go!
College coaches, professional coaches, leaders in general…I’m going to need your help.
New opportunity. New direction.
Adaptable > Optimal
As life throws you curveballs, see it big and don’t flinch. 👊💪

This has been in the works for a couple of days. Zuniga interviewed with @USC_Baseball two days ago. Love this hire by the Trojans.

Teaching kids that you should use energy towards complaining about umpires as opposed to using it to play better baseball is embarrassing.
3 13u coaches ejected from a game. If I were a parent I’d demand a refund
You can get baseball anywhere, I want my kid taught life lessons.
Good luck to Coach @chuckbox1969 and @TexasBaseball as they return to Omaha!
Here's hoping for a long stay at the @CWSOmaha - Looking forward to welcoming you back to Jackson soon and hearing all about another memorable run.
Safe travels and Hook 'Em!

Leadership Lessons from @ClintHurdle13
∙Leaders who honor exits build long-term credibility that outlasts short-term results.
∙The best leaders don’t use their last address to defend themselves — they use it to build up the people staying behind.
∙Leadership without a title is still leadership. Your influence doesn’t expire when your contract does.
∙A leader’s job is to make people feel seen, heard, and believed in — even on the way out the door.
∙Telling your team you love them is step one. Showing them is the whole game.

If you want a bigger role, start behaving like someone who deserves one before anyone has offered it to you. That's what the offseason is actually for.
Lotta kids out there playing baseball today. Older ones, younger ones, some just learning the game. The ones just learning, today could be the day they fall in love with it.
Just saw three @WVUBaseball players walking through the crowd on the way back to their hotel from the stadium in the midst of throngs of fans going to the night game at the @CWSOmaha. No one was bothering them. No police escort. No armed security. Just three ball players in dirty uniforms laughing and strolling home after winning a ballgame. That’s not something you see at other major sporting events. That’s the charm of baseball. That’s the charm of Omaha. Never change.

Tonight, ask your athlete one question and stay quiet long enough to hear the entire answer: "What part of this do you actually love?" Write what they say and tape it inside a cabinet. On the hard mornings two years from now, that sentence in their own handwriting will outwork any pep talk.
