It’s not only about the moment. It’s about all the small decisions and actions you took along the way. They seemed like nothing at the time, but they add up. They build on each other. They move you forward. They prepare you for the moment. Keep showing up in everyday moments.

When older players are willing to help out younger players... When starters are willing to help out their backups... When everyone cares about each other's success as much as their own... That's when you know you have a championship culture! #CultureMatters

Before there is greatness/success, there are: setbacks failures struggles adversity embarrassments rejections second-guessing doubts tears losses wrong decisions This is what the path of growth and the process of greatness looks like. Keep showing up. Be in process.

Being a great teammate means you are just as happy about your teammate's success as you are your own success. Great teams have great teammates.

As an athlete, don’t get too high after wins, or too low after losses. Remember that winning and losing are small steps along your athletic journey. Stay hungry, optimistic, and patient to continue on the path to improvement.

3 things to eliminate that will immediately make your life better: Eliminate excuses Eliminate entitlement Eliminate complaining You have 100% control over each. Level up.

Adversity always seems overwhelming in the moment. Once past it, we tend to look back and see how adversity made us better and was a necessary catalyst for change and growth. The challenge is to own your perspective to see the opportunity in the midst of adversity. ⛈️🦬

Want to help your team win? Strive for a QAB — a quality at-bat — every time you step into the batter’s box. Team goal: 15 per game. Stack QABs and you give yourself a chance to win championships. Spoiler: you still have to pitch well and play great defense, too. When all three come together, that’s championship baseball. (Note: 15 QAB's a game is the goal at the HIGH SCHOOL level in a 7-inning game - 21 outs. In college, 27 out game, you would want to aim for a little more)

Hitting is recognizing pitches Hitting is arriving on time Hitting is adjustment making Hitting is controlling emotions Hitting is having an approach Hitting is hard! Let’s not make it harder by complicating it with a bunch of irrelevant mechanical mumbo jumbo. One thing is for certain: If your mentality is constantly consumed with swing thoughts, you have been brainwashed to believe that swing mechanics are the key to your success…. And that is 100% false! Mechanics are important✔️ But… Mechanics are just a small piece of the hitting puzzle. There’s so much more to it! #BaseballTruth

Doing what’s expected of you isn’t special. It is average. It’s what the majority of people do. Greatness requires extra work, extra time, extra sacrifice. Let your effort match your ambition.

If you’re part of a team, you’ve agreed to a standard (of effort, attitude, behavior, etc). Don’t get offended when someone holds you accountable to the standard you agreed to. Just get better.

How to know if you think too much at the plate: 1) You take a lot of crushable pitches, especially fastballs 2) You always think something’s wrong with your robotic, 5 step swing process when you get out. Over-thinking demolishes your ability to hit! You must have a smart approach, but —> DON’T OVER-THINK! #BaseballTruth

ALL BASEBALL Players ⚾️ • You're going to fail • You're going to struggle • You're going to succeed • You're going to have great days That's baseball. Baseball is a roller coaster of emotions. NO MATTER WHAT the results are, KEEPING BATTLING 😤💪

Being part of a team requires sacrifice. It's not about what's best for you individually, it is about what's best for the whole. You must buy-in to the vision of the team. Commitment over convenience. Easier said than done. Reject your ego. Serve.

Your circumstances might not be your problem. Your problem might be your perspective about your circumstances. Your problem might be your response to your circumstances. And those are things you can control.

Success is the result of persevering through many failures. Falling down is normal. Most people give up. The best get back up.

Think about how much time and energy you’ve wasted by worrying. Think about what it has cost you. Choose to spend your time and effort on things that make you better.

Many are capable, few are COMMITTED. Mike Tomlin nailed it. It’s not about what you’re capable of - it’s about what you’re willing to do. Many people have talent, but commitment and excellence are rare. Commit, show up, do the work, and stack the days.
