In the spring of 2018, a man walked into my gym and introduced himself as Pat Murphy. We had a few mutual friends and connections within the Milwaukee Brewers organization in which he served as Brewers bench coach. — Pat and I hit it off. He is a character unlike any. Moxy, faith, intellect, experience, leadership, humor; I remember thinking the guy had it all. He is a connector. Authentic. —— We talked of his life’s wins and life’s struggles. And I knew quickly he was an invested father. Thirty minutes went by quickly and he left me with a read that was profound. A first inclination of his ability to impact. —— We grabbed dinner at The Iron Horse a few times and eventually I’d coach his sons. — In 2021, the day my sister got married, Pat connected my older brother, Tim, with Arizona State Baseball. Within a month , Tim was serving them as the S&C coordinator before eventually coming back to the Brewers to be the Rehab S&C lead. Pat is an opportunity creator. —— I haven’t seen Pat in years. He was never Murph to me, rather a friend and father in my community. A coaches, coach. A guys guy. - Today, I’m simply a fan. Without a doubt, we’ve watched one of the best coaches on the planet create a legacy in Wisconsin, baseball and sport. — So what’s the takeaway - connect, encourage and be fu⚡️🎉ing relentless. — #brewers #leadership #worldseries

⚾️World Series Champ 🎉. Congrats to my brother, Tim. What a capstone to his 16th season with the Milwaukee Brewers. — Tim interned in Maryville in 2010. Lived out of a suitcase in Appleton & Huntsville. Spent a summer on a clubhouse couch in Helena and eventually became a Minor League Director. He now serves as Rehab S & C lead, having worked with Ashby, Mitchell, Turang, Pratt, Henderson, Chourio, Lara, Frelick and Hamilton. - Physical preparation and athlete health are key components of team and organizational success. Tim and his fellow support staff played strong roles. — We are proud of Tim, his commitment, expertise and the relationships he’s made as a Brewer. And now he’s a world champ! - #Brewers
