World (Trojans ⚔️) Series—Brandon Lockridge & Shin Fukuda.

Troy’s motto is “Educate the mind to think, the heart to feel, and the body to act.” Seeing these two put their education, talent, and years of hard work to use at the highest level makes me proud of what that represents.

One as a player, one as an athletic trainer. Different paths, both doing big things for the Brewers & the Rays now competing for a world championship 🏆!!!#TroyAthleticClub

Big League advice from a Big League human @ClintHurdle13 ! 🏔️ 🏴‍☠️

Over 2,500 games from the dugout. 50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager.

I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count.

I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series.

If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I'd whisper in my own ear:

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

The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit.

What this looks like in practice:

• Wins: name the people who made it happen
• Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks
• Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome

Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame.

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

Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing.

I tuned out every one I didn't trust.

Get to know your people before you try to develop them.

Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick.

Then the coaching lands.

Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss.

After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together.

This was my rule:

• Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute?
• Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out
• Be present for whoever you're going home to

Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it.

Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally.

Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me?

Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win?

The first builds compliance.

The second builds careers.

When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over.

Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be.

Discipline keeps you in the first group:

Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there.

50 years taught me leadership isn't about you.

It's about the people you serve.
