2. Introduction
• Ryan Hoadley leverages more than a decade of
experience in the financial industry to serve as an analyst
for a hedge fund based in New York. Outside of work,
Ryan Hoadley enjoys following sports and is particularly
interested in Pittsburgh teams, such as the NFL’s
Pittsburgh Steelers and the MLB’s Pittsburgh Pirates.
According to a recent news release, members of the two
teams meet every year when Steelers coach Mike Tomlin
visits the Pirates at spring training in Florida. Tomlin
recently completed his trip to the Pirates’ 2016 spring
training session, where he delivered a short speech to the
coaches and players.

3. Pirates Spring Training
• In his address, Tomlin reminded the Pirates to stay
focused through the end of the training session to ensure
they are ready for the start of the 2016 season in April.
Tomlin’s annual trip to PNC Park for spring training is
due in part to his close friendship with the Pirates’
manager Clint Hurdle, who also acts as Tomlin’s mentor
and correspondent. For Tomlin, the trip offers an
exciting look at the team development process because it
comes at a time when the Pirates are finalizing
preparations for the new season and the Steelers are just
beginning to prepare for their next season.
