Hillman's Double Play
In this speech, Trey Hillman explores how the enduring power of baseball is rooted not just in tradition, but in its capacity to adapt—to new generations, evolving talent, and diverse cultural and organizational needs.
The success Trey’s had throughout his career, whether it was here in Major League Baseball or abroad in Japan or Korea, essentially comes down to creating the culture, character, and determination to become champions. Building an Atmosphere of Winning is the product of 4 key variables:
• Vision – the ability, often in the face of internal resistance, to establish a common instinctive commitment to individual and collective goals necessary to drive the determination to work together and win.
• Process – clear and commanding process is the foundation of individual and collective organization and achievement. Attention to detail and measured application feed confidence and the belief in potential.
• Raising expectations – demonstrating a constant commitment to individual and collective development and the obligation to put people in a position to succeed.
• Fun – The grind will be the grind – acknowledging, prioritizing, and accessing the sheer joy of playing the game unlocks a vital force multiplier.
Hillman Double Play is Trey’s chance to share the good fortune, good people, and powerful experiences that have enhanced his journey and fuel his mission to advance the sport of baseball.
