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.

Had a good day with our spring break tournament going 3/6 with a single a double and a home run @ReidFlowers12 @cdubspencer @PrepBaseballMS @mattmiller59

If you use GameChanger, you’re probably looking at the wrong stats. Most players and parents focus on batting average, hits, ERA… the scoreboard stuff. Those numbers tell you what already happened. But they don’t tell you if you’re actually getting better. The best players I coached at the Division-1 level weren’t obsessing over those numbers. They were tracking process stats. Things that actually predict future success. The late Mark Marquess at Stanford used to say: “You can’t change the spots on a cheetah.” Meaning your habits show up later. If you throw strikes now, you’ll throw strikes later. If you strike out a lot now, that usually follows you too. Development leaves clues. Here are a few examples of better things to track. Hitters Quality At-Bat % (strong is around 65%+) Pitches seen per plate appearance (elite hitters are around 4) Walk to strikeout ratio Pitchers Strike percentage Pitch efficiency First pitch strike % Tarik Skubal was 71.5% last season! The point is this. GameChanger tracks a lot of stats. But development usually comes down to mentality and approach. If we as athletes can focus more on what’s controllable and less on what’s uncontrollable, we’ll be mentally healthier and make better progress inside our own process. Keep playing the long game.

2nd bomb of the year !! @ReidFlowers12 @cdubspencer @PrepBaseballMS @mattmiller59

Had another good day going 1/2 with a walk and a double with a rbi @ReidFlowers12 @PrepBaseballMS @mattmiller59

Showed up and showed out 👏 #CFBPlayoff x #HottyToddy

@JonnyFootball44 @MarkLassiter25 @espn @CFBPlayoff Ole Miss didn’t have two losses.

@MarkLassiter25 @espn @CFBPlayoff I don’t think you can punish a team for losing in their conference championship game. So if they didn’t play this weekend and stayed home with two losses like Ole Miss and Oklahoma they would’ve been in?

THE 12-TEAM CFP BRACKET IS SET‼️ Did your team make the cut? 🤔 @CFBPlayoff

Coach O’s burner has been found.

RT @TylerJordan: Let’s now focus on promoting this special group of guys @OleMissFB before they make a playoff run, since the attention has…

Tough spot for Mississippi State today. All the pressure. At home. A "distracted" rival headed for the playoff. Needing a win to become Liberty Bowl eligible for the first time in what feels like forever. Tough spot.

Straight outta Lane Kiffin’s playbook 😂💀

Forever in our hearts ❤️ 💙 Goodbye, Tad Smith Coliseum.

When you look at run values of pitches in almost all counts against almost every hitter you see that even your worst pitch right middle-middle is better than an out of the zone miss. Hitters just aren’t THAT good at punishing mistakes. They’d vastly prefer you to miss the zone.

Not sure there’s another DL in the SEC that has improved his stock as much as Ole Miss DT Will Echoles…
