Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. – Molly Miller

If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I’d whisper in my own ear – Clint Hurdle Sports

Lesson 1: Be a window when it’s good, a mirror when it’s bad.

Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it.

Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss.

Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally.

Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you.

Focus on what you can control. Focus on what you’re getting, not what anyone else is getting. Whenever you get an opportunity, you take advantage of it. You treat it like it’s the Super Bowl. – Tom Brady

If you start hunting fastballs up in the strike zone, something interesting happens.

You begin taking more fastballs down in the zone.

You also start laying off more off-speed pitches that finish down in the zone.

And when a pitcher leaves an off-speed pitch up?

That’s a mistake.

And those baseballs can go a LONG way when you hit them. -Jermaine Curtis

If you’re making weak contact (hitting in baseball), your top hand probably isn’t working TO and THROUGH the baseball correctly. The top hand helps create the barrel path through the zone. – Barry Bonds

You cannot test your way out of a bad transcript. A fantastic score does not remove the C from sophomore year, and it does not brighten a schedule with no rigor in it. – Pat Bloom, head coach at Washington University in St. Louis
