Can gratitude change a season?
Yes, because it shifts the tone in the locker room, on the sideline, and at home.
When thankfulness leads, athletes play freer, coaches lead calmer, and families support better. #youthsports #youthsportscrisis #GUTSI

Did Miami get screwed by the refs in their loss to Notre Dame? 🤔

Can talent fix accountability?
No. Coaches have to build it into the village. Clear standards, consistent follow-through, and parent alignment turn gifted teams into trusted teams.

When a young athlete starts tying self-worth to playing time, say this:
“Your value is bigger than any box score. We care about your growth, your effort, and who you’re becoming.”
Then ask what they learned, not just how much they played. #youthsports #youthsportscrisis #GUTSI

When a young athlete starts playing to avoid mistakes, joy fades fast.
Shift the focus back to growth. Coach the village, not just the player: parents, coaches, and athletes all on the same page about growth, unity, and integrity. #youthsports #youthsportscrisis #GUTSI

Set standards kids can keep.
Start with behavior, not perfection.
Make it clear, repeatable, and tied to growth.
That builds accountability without crushing confidence.

Correcting behavior can win a drill. Developing character changes how kids show up when no one’s watching. Youth sports needs both, but character is what lasts after the season. Comment #youthsports #youthsportscrisis #GUTSI

What does integrity look like off the field?
A team culture of integrity shows when no one is watching. It means doing the right thing, supporting each other, and growing together. Start building that culture today.

Coach the whole athlete: mind, body, spirit, emotions. When families grow together, sports build leaders for life.

When adults stay calm under pressure, young athletes learn to do the same. This leadership skill builds resilience that lasts far beyond the game. Model calm. Grow leaders. #youthsports #youthsportscrisis #GUTSI

What a great idea
The @Cardinals should invite a different local college, high school or club baseball team every game to carry on what the SFA boys started.

Chiefs Kingdom, who wants a signed jersey from our newest cornerback?!?
RT for a chance to win‼️

The coach-parent-athlete triangle falls apart when everyone assumes someone else is leading. Without clear leadership, miscommunication grows, support fades, and athletes suffer. To build strong leaders, every corner must step up and align. #youthsports #youthsportscrisis #GUTSI

The loudest voice on the sideline isn't shaping your athlete's future—quiet support at home builds confidence and character. Work with the coach. Join us.

Pressure and setbacks don't just test skills—they test character. Building emotional resilience helps youth athletes bounce back stronger, stay confident, and lead with purpose on and off the field. Ready to grow? Comment "RESILIENT" #youthsports #youthsportscrisis #GUTSI
Keep leading!
Struggling with tough moments as a coach?
Pause, Assess, Respond is your secret weapon to turn challenges into leadership wins.
Pause to clear your mind, assess the situation with care, then respond with purpose. That's how leaders are made. #youthsports #youthsportscrisis

Tomorrow night is a big night for our family.
12 years ago, Karla and I started the Clint Hurdle Hot Stove Fundraiser with one simple goal; to make a difference for kids like our daughter Maddie.
Maddie was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome. A deletion of the 15th chromosome. No off switch for hunger. No cure. But a whole lot of fight, joy, and grace.
She never got asked on a date. Never went to prom. But every year this night is her night. And it means everything to us.
Tomorrow, as part of our 12th Annual Hot Stove Fundraiser, we'll be auctioning off some incredible items:
🏆 Steve Garvey Autographed Jersey
🏆 Ted Williams Autographed Framed Jersey
🏆 Clint Hurdle Autographed Framed Jersey
⚾️ Many other MLB Items
💎 Jewelry
⛳ Golf Trips
✈️ Exclusive Luxury Vacations
...and more.
Every dollar raised goes directly to the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association supporting families who are walking the same road Karla and I walked when we first got the diagnosis.
Can't make it in person? No problem.
The auction is online so anyone, anywhere can bid and support these incredible kids.
Tap the link in my bio to place your bid.
God puts people in our lives to grow us in ways we couldn't get to on our own.
Maddie's proof of that every single day.
Make a difference today.
Love, Clint.
