You will strike out.
You will make errors.
You will pitch bad.

That’s baseball.

The separator isn’t talent - it’s response.

The way you handle failure…
The way you reset…
The way you compete on the next pitch…

👉 That’s the game. ⚾️

As a hitting coach, I watched players come back to the dugout after making an out.

They'd look at me and ask, "What'd you see?"

I'd go through the mechanical stuff like back side collapse, front side energy, head came off the ball. Man, it was wearing me out!

Finally, I realized I needed to simplify.

So the next time a player came back asking what I saw, I just asked him: "Did you get a good pitch to hit?"

That usually stopped the conversation. Because if you don't "get a good pitch to hit," it's hard to get a hit.

This works in our lives too.

Whatever task I take on, I ask myself: Am I putting myself in position to succeed?

Did I eliminate distractions? Did I prepare? Did I practice? Am I ready to produce?

In life, your "good pitch to hit" probably isn't the same as mine.

That's the beauty of it all.

I've swung at some bad pitches in my life... so have you.

But one bad swing doesn't always end the at-bat.

Hitting is a lot like life.

It can be simple, but not easy.

Bobby Witt Jr. — Pre-Pitch Routine

Videos like this aren’t shown enough, this stuff matters.

It has a lot more impact on your results than you think.

My JUCO coach used to say: “Leave the dugout better than you found it.”

That lesson wasn’t just about a dugout.

It was about the game.

Respect it.
Take care of it.
Leave it better for the next group.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"Relationships determine destiny.
Make sure you value yourself enough to surround yourself with people who are going to raise you up. 
Because there are plenty of opportunities to hang out with people who aren't."

The right people don’t just support you - they strengthen you.

Welles Crowther was a former Boston College lacrosse player whose trademark was a red bandana.

On September 11, 2001, he led people to safety after terrorists struck the World Trade Center.

This is his story.

MICHAEL JORDAN WORK ETHIC

“Every day in practice was like that to me. It was a competition.

So, when the game comes, there’s nothing that I haven’t already practiced. It’s a routine.

Whatever happens in the game now, okay I’ve done that before.”
