Josh Hoyle

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.

Blessed to call this home everyday.

One of the best in the business! Thank you to @3strikes_AU for pouring into our players, coaches, and parents tonight!

Proud of these guys this offseason and the way they’ve attacked the weight room!

The lie we tell ourselves. “Once we win one I’ll be happy.” - Sean McVay Winning doesn’t fill the void. It just moves the finish line. The real joy? The grind. The growth. The people.

As the discussion over the bases-loaded play in the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 continues, one thing I haven’t seen pointed out: Blue Jays third-base coach Carlos Febles marked the exact spot where he wanted Isiah Kiner-Falefa to lead off. There are so many elements to this one play. Should he have taken another step? He was told not to, a point reinforced by other players, who have rightly pointed out that the fear of getting doubled off prompts coaches to keep runners close to the bag. Should he have run through home? Maybe, but it’s damn near impossible, with the speed of the game, to know where the throw is taking the catcher, and sliding is the standard practice. Regardless, it’s illustrative of how many decisions go into a single play — and illustrates the nuances of the game that so often go unseen.

Great share…. Pressure is real. Big league superstars feel it too. Listen to Mookie talk about how he was battling his nerves at the end of the game. Big take away with the self talk and then refers to all the work put in on the back fields before the season paying off for his elite defense. Love it! @DirtBroUSA @CoachTaberM

The text that you live for as a coach. You see the light bulb come on for them. Then they leave to go off and play and they get that figurative pat on the back that what they’re doing is the way to do it. Makes all the other stuff you deal with as a head coach fade away!

Mike Bianco said, "Once your commitment is greater than your feelings, that's when you get results. That's when it happens for you." Most people never figure this out. Commitment is a choice. It's choosing long-term growth over short-term comfort.
