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.

This is how you represent your nation!!! 🇺🇸🥰🥰

Be in the game even when you're not in the game.

You don’t get to defy a Congressional subpoena. The Clintons were lawfully subpoenaed. After months of good-faith scheduling, they didn’t show. Next step: Contempt of Congress.

Pain is often the price you pay for wisdom. Blame is a shackle, and most unwise.

What earns playing time? Especially at the Amateur levels? Being a tough out. It gets you in the lineup … and a team full of tough outs play for, and win, championships! Look at the two teams in the @MLB #WorldSeries They grind out at bats against the best arms in the world. Many of them refuse to strike out. It’s a mentality and approach all in one. Refuse to die! Spoil pitches! Raise pitch counts! Frustrate the pitcher and break him down. Make them throw as many high stress pitches as possible! Young players must begin to see the value of putting pressure on the defense…. I feel the pendulum is swinging back around to the value of competitors with two strikes. Even at the Big League level. Time will tell… @DirtBroUSA @CoachTaberM @nextlevelbb

Got bad news for you… There is no magic formula or secret sauce about swing mechanics. No one has anything new that hasn’t been said or taught before. It isn’t rocket science, it’s not that complicated. The bad news is, many hitters will never maximize their true potential, because they are too busy trying to find the holy grail of swing mechanics, but never work on real hitting aspects that will actually improve their game. #BaseballTruth

Tough teams do 3 things better than everyone else: 1. They communicate 2. They hold each other accountable 3. They keep showing up, no matter what It’s not just a mindset. It’s your standard.

Remember Everyone Deployed. 🙏 #REDFriday

Call out the suck. Model the give. Every team has Energy Givers and Energy Suckers. One lifts the room. The other drains it. Attitude is contagious. So is negativity. Want a stronger culture? Don’t just build skill. Build awareness.

Hitters: Your focus should be to find barrel and hit the ball hard… What happens after that is usually out of your control… Control what you can control! #BaseballTruth
