Boarding the plane for my 12th spring training and 18th year in college or professional baseball. All I can think of is how thankful I am for all the people I’ve met and the experiences we’ve shared. So damn grateful for this beautiful game. 2020 season... let’s get it 🙌🏼🇨🇦

There are many forms of #leadership. Sometimes it means going ahead. Sometimes it means following behind. Sometimes you are there for support. Sometimes you are there for shelter. Sometimes you lead side-by-side. The best leaders know how to do them all.

Some great insight from @Schwarzenegger this morning. “The worst thing you can ever do is think that you know enough. Never stop learning. Ever” We all have an opportunity to learn something new today. How awesome is that #Kaizen

#MLKday one of my favorite speeches of Dr. King’s is the “street sweeper”. Thanks @visionpursue for introducing me to this one m.youtube.com/watch?v=NlV_OD… “it isn’t by size that you win or you fail, be the best of whatever you are”

Headed overseas and I’ve got @bob_tewksbury book teed up for the flight. Loved learning from him when I was @BCBirdBall and excited for the lessons #knowledgedropper

One of the most powerful tools for success is the ability to control our perspective. Our perspective is a choice, choose it wisely because your thoughts and actions will follow. #EmbraceYourGrass

“The words stay the same but the definitions change” Great insight from @kevineastman this week on how things like hard work, commitment & accountability evolve as players progress from high school to college to professionals. Do your habits match your dreams? #truth #until

“Don’t get bored with consistency” @DangeRussWilson talking about he and @Bwagz approach to the game. The best of the best aren’t necessarily better on any single play/pitch, but they are better more often and that is a HUGE separator. #consistency #gohawks

Started out as a neutral fan watching the #SECChampionship⁠ ⁠ game. That all changed when @JalenHurts came in to replace Tua. Incredible story, incredible perseverance, incredible teammate. That was a lot of fun to watch
