The most important thing you will ever do in your life, when given the opportunity, is respond.
Everyone gets knocked down. That’s not what people remember. They remember what you do about it.
Adversity doesn't make you a man. It only reveals where you are as a man.

7 yrs ago today I was fired from the best coaching job in America b/c my life was a mess & I was living in the gutter

We have one simple message to the players every day:
Play hard. Have fun. Love your teammates.
We can control all of these. Very few things in baseball and life are truly in our control. Our mission is to be the absolute best at the things we control.

Although I wear a UL Ragin Cajuns 🤟🏽 uniform now... my views on leadership haven’t changed.
-Serve
-Motivate
-Inspire
-Be you...
-Secure in your Identity
Overachievement is the ability to become the absolute best at stuff no one else cares about.
Celebrate every mundane thing that takes no talent: showing up early, staying late, working hard, loving your teammates...
Little things ultimately add up to the big things.
#15to28
Great decisions are made by very confident people who have a ton of belief in themselves, followed only by more belief in something bigger than themselves.
Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters when u face trials of many kinds because u know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.James 1:2-4
Thanks

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast”... they say,
Below is a text I got yesterday from one of our best players (preseason all conference)... The text sums
“The Pack” Culture up in 3 sentences.
Hope vs EXPECTATION

Relationships create an Energy that is hard to explain... there is not a greater feeling than being a part of something bigger than yourself & serving your brothers with an Attitude of gratefulness.

My mission is to build well-rounded men and teach them that their identity is not tied to what they do, but to who they are in Christ by “transforming,” not “transacting.”

Love is undefeated.
When you live, work, and play with a full heart, you win, no matter what the scoreboard says. If you do everything out of love, you have no fear. If you give fully of yourself, you don't need anything in return.

I do a lot of public speaking and the
#1
question I get asked is, “How?” “How do you guys do what you do?”
The answer really is very simple...
Faith.
Sacrifice.
Obedience
Service.
Those are the 4 simple words that this program is built upon, demands, and lives life by.
A Huge THANK YOU to everyone that has reached out sharing encouragement and love ... my family and I can’t say thank you enough for all the Blessings and support. May God Bless you all & Geaux Cajuns!!!🙏🏼🤟🏼

@hunterwhearn
you and Mac Odom do incredible work! One of the coolest things I’ve ever received!
Attitude is an expectation to win.
Approach is your job, duty, or function.
Intensity is your love for the challenge of competition.
Toughness is your attitude, approach, and intensity in the midst of adversity.

The willingness to make adjustments & adapt is a separator from where you are to where you want to be. U are either getting better or getting worse... no such thing as staying the same.
Not where u start it’s where u finish! This kid is tougher than a boot strap, and WILL play on tv! Congrats

READ:
The first two realizations you need to get to when moving from being a ‘transactional’ coach to a ‘transformational’ coach are:
1️⃣ They are going to win with or without you.
2️⃣ You will always need them way more than they need you.

, had to holla at someone in the stands EVERY TIME he picked up a bat today. That takes dedication, and he will no doubt benefit from this persistence later in life.
Our journey has been a wild one. We've seen the highest of the highs and have been to the lowest depths of the valley, but we are still here and are still standing. We are a stronger, more united family than ever before and are thankful for all our experiences.
