@AmericanAir after a 10-hour flight, we have now sat on the tarmac in Charlotte for more than an hour.

@JamesYoder Yeah, Stalions is just a REALLY big fan of Big10 opponents - while he is in season for his job.

Here’s what an iPhone 14 Pro Max VIDEO looks like zooming from the 45 yard line at the opposing sidelines. You gotta be kidding me 😂 WITCH HUNT

No surprise there @furm_6 #ackack

New level no problem for #Guardians 21yr old INF prospect Nate Furman as he reached base 3x tonight (2-4 2R BB) for the @LCCaptains making his (High-A) debut vs West Michigan. #ForTheLand

Well done @jacobwilsonn22 #birdsalumni

This is what I’m talking about when I say we’ve gotta “empty the tank”!

Birds who have gone through our bunting station know this bunt needed to be toward 1st base. instagram.com/reel/Cjo0RUrOE…

Life is in the striving. Striving to be better today than yesterday; striving to be better tomorrow than today.

Great coaches don’t make you feel like your success depends on them. Great coaches give you the tools to empower you to ultimately become your own best coach.

Go get ‘em @zbritton33 ack ack⭕️

Because the truth of the matter is you need to be your own best coach.

2/ Would you have responded well if one of your coaches had coached you that way? If the answer is no to either, you have some work to do on self-talk. I am not talking about flimsy positive talk. I am talking about coaching yourself like you would someone else.

Off-season work: self-talk. Think back to those situations where your performance was below (or far below) your expectations. What were you saying to yourself in those situations? Be honest. Then ask yourself if you would say the same things to a person you were coaching?

I was not a math major, but that’s a lot. @Alex_Amalfi11 ⭕️

Learn to tolerate failure. Never accept it.
