All players, I promise you this. You’ll never look back when you’re an adult with a family, wife, kids, and think man, I respected the game too much… man, I worked too hard… man, I respected my opponents too much… man, I respected my coaches too much. Nope. You’ll look back and be thankful for the life lessons that baseball taught you throughout the years. You will have a regrets though with the way you treat others… your antics on the field… not giving max effort… being a punk… being selfish… being entitled… being all about you… don’t have those regrets.

[Jermaine Curtis @JermaineCurtis]

I signed to UCLA my junior year of high school and was told I was going to start Day 1.

Opening Day at UCLA?

I was sitting the bench. 😭

I had 2 choices:

1. Complain, pout, and blame the coaches

OR

2. Find the holes on the team and become valuable.

So for 3 weeks, I sat the bench.

I showed up early.
Stayed late.
Cheered for my teammates.
Dragged the field every 3rd inning.

Meanwhile, I studied the team.

The middle infielders were doing well.
Third base wasn’t.

So I told the coaches:

“I can play third.”

Then I noticed something else:

Offensively, we were either hitting home runs or getting out.

I saw the gap.

If I could become a tough out, get on base, and bring energy to the team…
I could create value.

Then we played Miami.

The starting third baseman was hitting .115.

They gave me a shot.

I went 2 for 3 with a walk.
Played solid defense.
Brought energy.

I never sat the bench again.

Eventually, I became team captain…
and we were ranked #1 in the country.

One thing baseball taught me:

Opportunities don’t always go to the most talented player.

Sometimes they go to the player who becomes the most valuable.
