When I was playing pro baseball, I watched Alex Rodriguez change the Yankees organization.

He was in a slump.

He wasn't driving the baseball like himself.

So he had the Yankees put together a highlight reel.

Home runs.
Doubles.
Hard-hit balls.

He watched it over and over before games.

Eventually, he started driving the baseball again.

The Yankees liked the idea so much they wanted to do it throughout the organization.

When I heard about it, I made my own.

Every time I went into a slump, I'd watch my highlight reel before the game.

It reminded me of who I was.

It reminded me what I looked like when I was at my best.

It kept the slump from becoming my identity.

So here's what I'd do if I was in a slump:

Take every hard-hit ball.

Every double.
Every home run.
Every great at-bat.

Put them into one video.

Watch it before practice.

Watch it before games.

And while you're watching it, remind yourself:

"This is who I am."

Not who I hope to become.

Who I already am.

Because here's one thing I've learned:

The mind can't tell the difference between what you repeatedly replay and what you repeatedly experience.

Choose what you rehearse.

@MCCCANM For what it’s worth the trim air off has no effect on this system on the ground. And might as well turn the pack switches lower if APU is the bleed air controlling the air since it’s close to 80F

The Scouting Classroom #40

WHY SCOUTS LOVE BAD GAMES

Most people assume scouts enjoy watching great performances. Truthfully, some of the most valuable evaluations happen when things go wrong.

Anybody can evaluate success. The challenge has always been evaluating the response to failure.

Over twenty years in professional baseball, I learned that bad games often reveal more than good ones. A player can fool you on a night when everything is working. A couple of barrels, a home run, or seven shutout innings can send everybody home excited.

But baseball isn’t played on the best days.

Professional baseball is built on how players handle the other days. The days when the timing disappears. The days when velocity beats them. The days when they don’t have their best stuff. The days when confidence begins to leak.

That’s when the evaluation becomes interesting.

WHEN THE MASK COMES OFF

Failure has a way of exposing things success can hide. That’s when scouts begin paying attention to details that may not matter to the average fan, but can matter greatly over the course of a career.

• Body language.
• Competitiveness.
• Response to coaching.
• Emotional maturity.
• Ability to make adjustments.
• Accountability.
• Toughness.
• Leadership.
• Resilience.

Anybody can smile after going 4-for-4.

What happens after 0-for-4?

How does he carry himself after striking out with runners in scoring position? Does he point fingers or accept responsibility? Does he continue competing, or does he mentally leave the game?

Professional baseball guarantees failure. The best players in the world make outs seven times out of ten. Great pitchers get hit. All-Stars get booed. Future Hall of Famers experience slumps.

Nobody escapes it.

THE SECOND LOOK MATTERS

Some of the best reports I ever wrote came after bad performances. Not because the player played poorly, but because of how he responded.

A scout may leave disappointed after the first look and then come back weeks later to see if the player adjusted.

• Did he learn?
• Did he compete?
• Did he improve?

Those questions often separate prospects with similar tools, because tools may get two players to the same level, but character often determines which one keeps climbing.

SCOUTING THE PERSON

This is where experience matters.

Scouts aren’t simply evaluating swings, arms, and running times. They’re evaluating people. And people reveal themselves over time.

Sometimes the greatest compliment a scout can give isn’t, “He had a great game.”

Sometimes it’s: 👇

• Nothing bothered him
• He stayed present
• He never stopped competing
• He made adjustments
• The game sped up, but he didn’t

∙ Anybody can evaluate talent by itself…👇

The hard part has always been evaluating how talent responds when things stop going according to plan.

That’s why scouts don’t fear bad games.

Sometimes, they love them.

Because failure has a way of revealing things success never will.

And there is a difference!

Michael Saylor has a $14,000,000,000 loss on $BTC.

Tom Lee has a $10,500,000,000 loss on $ETH.

Painful. Lower.
