The greatest lesson I ever learned about dealing with pressure…

Came from a, Landscaper???

One of my best friends, college teammate and roommate once sent our team a message before we played one of the biggest series of the season

The message still sticks with me today:

“Any time you feel pressure, think about the pressure the guy sitting in a foxhole in the Middle East feels. Not knowing if he’s going to make it home, thousands of miles away from everything he’s fighting for.”

Powerful

He now runs a very successful landscaping company, but has seen firsthand what pressure actually looks like in real life

Not something made up when you’re playing a game

Pressure isn’t hitting a home run down one in the ninth

It’s making sure you can still work to support your family and put food on the table

Or a roof over your head

But Pressure means you care.

Pressure means it MEANS something to you

It doesn’t matter how minuscule the task or purpose.

But it usually ties back to something bigger than whatever is happening in that moment:

-you’re nervous during the big at bat because if you fail the team will lose, you’ll think about it for days/weeks/years, your coaches will lose faith in you, and your parents will be disappointed

-youre nervous to talk to the beautiful girl because you’ve gotten rejected in the past and your group of friends clowned you for it and made it personal

-you want your business to be successful because everyone told you in high school that you would be a failure and not amount to anything.

THAT is why you feel that pressure.

But how bad are those things in retrospect?

What if the scenario flips?

Really, your personal problems pale in comparison to the person mining for cobalt to put in the phone that you’re reading THIS TWEET on.

They’re making 20 cents a day to feed their entire family.

You just couldn’t get a hit today playing a GAME

Any high leverage situation is a blessing for you to showcase your skillset

Not a chore

So enjoy the moment

Smile and laugh in those pressure situations

Apollo Ohno, one of the greatest speedskaters in Olympic History, would YAWN before big races

Showcasing his relaxed approach to big moments

It’s just another day at the office

Not life or death

Relish the moment. Cherish it.

Who knows

Things just might work out.

And then you party

Hope you enjoyed this! If you did, throw this a Retweet and make sure you follow me!

@mikelondonpost3 I was so proud of each and every one of our Carson ball players this weekend. This is a great team of young men playing for Coach Gantt. I am so happy my son, Logan Rogers gets the privilege of being part of this team. Go Catawba!!

GRAND SLAM JACKSON PRICE 🚀

@CatawbaBaseball scores 8 in the bottom of the 4th inning to take a 8-5 lead versus Mount Olive.

[mike london @mikelondonpost3]

Catawba 19, Shippensburg 10. Indians may retire Dylan Driver’s jersey tomorrow. 5 runs and 5 RBIs today. They did get him out once. Logan Rogers and Cole Hales smacked balls all over Newman Park also. Chris Cauble has to be smiling. Also the Casey Gouge debut went really well.
