I worked with a D1 player and a D3 player this morning.

On paper...

They looked almost identical.

6'4 200 pounds...

Both had elite bat speed. Both had power. Both were physically gifted.

But there was one difference.

Every time the D3 player mishit a ball...

He complained.
He got frustrated.
He pouted.

Then he'd struggle for the next 3 or 4 swings.

Pop-up.
Ground ball.
Weak contact.

The D1 player?

He'd mishit one.

Make an adjustment

...And move on.

No emotion.
No drama.
Just the next pitch.

It reminded me of something I learned playing professional baseball...

Sometimes the biggest difference between two players isn't their talent.

It's the conversation they're having with themselves in their head after they fail.

Your bat speed matters.
Your swing matters.

But the operating system between your ears matters just as much.

The best hitters I've been around don't waste energy explaining why they failed.

They spend their energy figuring out what to do on the next pitch.

- Jermaine Curtis

P.S. The next time you mishit a ball, don't ask, "What's wrong with me?"

Ask, "What's my adjustment?"

P.P.S. - If you enjoyed this, and thought it was helpful, share it.
