Yesterday with the @GWBaseball1 team, my main message was simple: Make the connection with your future self the strongest connection in your life. When that connection is strong, your choices get easier. You hold higher standards. You do the work even when you don’t feel like it. Because every decision runs through one filter: “Is this helping my future self… or hurting him?” Strengthen that connection… and everything changes.

Life is more beautiful when you have friends who know how to be friends.

No, this is not a replay 😮 Manny Machado did this TWICE IN A ROW!

One of the hardest lessons I learned after my baseball career ended: I had tied too much of my identity to the game. When I played, everything revolved around baseball. If I had a great game, life felt great. If I struggled, it felt like everything was wrong. My emotions followed the same rollercoaster as the game. And the truth is, when my emotions were on that rollercoaster, it did not just affect me. It affected the people I loved the most, because they were the ones who had to deal with it. And when baseball ended, I realized something that caught me completely off guard: I did not know where to find my sense of purpose. That is how powerful this game can be. It pulls you in so deeply that it’s easy to start believing baseball is who you are, not just something you do. Today when I talk with high school and college players, this is one of the main things I see. So many of them have tied their identity completely to the game. One thing I always make sure they hear from me is simple: I am proud of you. And I say that after a great game or a tough one. Because that pride has nothing to do with performance on the field. It has everything to do with the person they are becoming. Sometimes to find perspective, we need to take a step back and look at how far we have come. It is easy to get stuck in the present and focus only on what needs to happen next to advance. But when we pause and reflect on the work, growth, and experiences that brought us here, it reminds us that our worth is not tied to one moment, one game, or one season. The truth is, the game eventually ends for all of us. What matters most has to be bigger than baseball. Faith. Family. Friendships. Those are the things that carry you long after the final out. When your identity is rooted there, baseball becomes what it was always meant to be: A game to love. A place to compete. A platform to grow. Not the definition of your worth.

3/3 🤔’s from SpTr 🌵⚾️🏜️ A few thoughts on honesty. Sometimes honesty is difficult, sometimes honesty is painful and sometimes honesty is uncomfortable. Honesty has a beautiful and refreshing simplicity about it. No hidden meanings. No hidden agendas. As honesty and integrity characterize our lives there will be no more need to manipulate others. Make a difference today Love Clint 🙏⬆️✝️🌅

“You can’t lead with power. You lead with truth, authenticity. You have to earn the influence. You have to earn the impact. Your words only count if they trust you, believe in you. The only way they’re going to do that is if they know you love them,” Pat Murphy @DigginDeepShows @Brewers

This is awesome. Clemson baseball has a tradition of players going up in the stands during the 4th inning to shake hands with Veterans. Today, on opening day, the Army baseball team joined in with them @ClemsonBaseball 🤝 @ArmyWP_Baseball

I travel for work. A lot. I was at a steakhouse in Dallas, eating alone at the bar. Next to me was a young guy in a military uniform. He was eating a baked potato and a side salad. Nothing else. He kept eyeing the steaks coming out of the kitchen, then looking at his wallet. I flagged the bartender. "Put his tab on mine," I whispered. "And send him the ribeye. Tell him it’s a mistake from the kitchen." The bartender grinned. "You got it." Ten minutes later, the huge steak landed in front of the kid. "I didn't order this," he said, panicked. "I can't pay for this." "Kitchen messed up," the bartender lied perfectly. "Manager said to eat it or we have to trash it." The kid ate like he hadn't seen food in a week. When he finished, he asked for the check. "Covered," the bartender pointed at me. The kid turned to me. "Sir, I..." "Thank you for your service," I said. "Get home safe." He stood up, shook my hand, and walked out taller than he walked in. If you have more than you need, build a longer table, not a higher fence. Anonymous
