First year @SFGiants Manager Tony Vitello (@tony22vitello_) with a perfect illustration of the benefit of delayed gratification and what development looks like in one word: Sequence.
Sequence is essential to development. We live in a world that rewards instant gratification, but growth doesn't work that way. There has to be some level of patience or pain beforehand. 🔙
🗺️ Every meaningful outcome is built on a foundation of patience, repetition, and accumulated learning. If you want to get somewhere, you have to map out the journey and respect the order of operations.
🎳 The problem is that many people want the reward before they've earned the lessons. They want the title before the responsibility, the results before the process, and the success before the struggle. But sustainable success requires sequence.
🪜 You can't skip steps without skipping the growth that step was designed to teach you. Every stage prepares you for the next one, and when you try to rush the process, you often delay the outcome.
The fastest way to reach your destination is usually to stop looking for shortcuts and start respecting the sequence. 📍

This message is so important for kids. I’m grown and it’s easy for me to understand but I think the earlier kids learn this concept the better the rest of their life will be. Sports too, but life lasts forever, playing sports is temporary.
As a baseball scout, there are two concerning hitting characteristics with HS & College hitters that stand out more today than ever before.
1) No Plan At The Plate
Successful hitters don’t just hope to get a hit—they know what pitch they’re hunting, they exercise zone awareness, they know what part of the field they’re trying to use, they know how to work counts, and how they’re going to attack pitch to pitch. They have a plan, they don’t just “wing it.”
If you fail to plan—then plan to fail.
2) Lack Of Competing In The Box
Every pitch is a battle. Fighting off tough pitches. Refusing to get beat. Making the pitcher earn every out. Competing in the box isn’t about the “result”—a hitter can go 0-4, but have four quality at bats. Competing in the box is about your approach, focus, and effort every single pitch.
Yes, swing operation and talent matters, however a “plan” and a “competitive” mindset in the box separate good hitters from the rest.
Never forget . .
Success is never owned. It is only rented, and the rent is due everyday!
Why is Good Body Language Important??
Listen to Jose Rijo-Berger talk about a player who got an offer on the game he went 0-4 and not the tournament he went 20-28🤯🗣️

@3ManFront have y’all seen these videos of British folks trying American food & giving their thoughts? The chick-fil-a one is good.
