Praise for Hurdle-isms

"I love this book so much! I've been listening to Clint share his 'Hurdle-isms' filled with wit and wisdom for years and now we all get to benefit from his greatest hits. Pun intended. Everyone needs to read this book!"
--JON GORDON
Award-winning author of The Energy Bus and The Power of Positive Leadership

"Clint Hurdle has a way of saying things that stick. His 'Hurdle-isms, ' spawned from a storied MLB career and a life that's had its share of uphill climbs, are small enough to fit in your pocket and big enough to change the trajectory of your life. An astute observer of both human nature and the game of baseball, Hurdle has taken copious notes along the way. He lives to pass them on."
--SHERRI COALE
Hall of Fame Women's Basketball Coach and author of Rooted to Rise

"I had the pleasure of playing for Clint for 9 years. Over those years I learned a lot of 'Hurdle-isms.' Many of them have carried me throughout my career and I find myself telling my peers about it as well. You see, that's the best part about 'Hurdle-isms'--they stay with you forever. I hope this book helps you as much as Clint has helped me throughout the years."
--ANDREW McCUTCHEN
MLB All-Star, 2013 National League MVP
