"I’ll never forget my mom’s response. She was like, “Ernie…. let’s be honest. You could be done playing baseball tomorrow. I mean, I hope not. It could happen, though, right?? So why not enjoy it??? Like, why spend this time being stressed? Spend it having fun.”
The Blue Jays World Series game 7 loss hit me especially hard. And that's saying something, because as a lifelong Oilers fan, I had endured back to back game 7 losses in Stanley Cup finals.
The Blue Jays loss was worse. Why? My favourite team just happened to play the game of baseball how I love it being played: hard and fast - and with respect to the game in every facet. Let's put it this way, I would have been all in on that bandwagon last October whatever jersey that team was wearing because of how they played.
In a lot of ways, Ernie Clement embodied the team's identity: valuing the importance of putting the ball in play with two strikes, playing high-level defense, running the bases hard and right, and putting the team first.
I was really moved by his Player's Tribune article, and wanted to pass it along. There's a lof of wisdom and insight any athlete can gain from it.

Failure is an opportunity to learn. The right mental approach is to assess and correct and be ready for the next pitch. @redturn2 shares experience with rickee_luevano_.
Glove load needs to vary. Not every pitch and location should have a trigger to ground and up. Example here also how head level can help how pitch looks to umpire

At our banquet yesterday I made the comment…
“Coaches think they want coachable. What they really want is curious.”
Coachable implies compliance.
Curious promotes open mindedness therefore “coachable”
Paul Maurice was asked this morning how difficult it is to make every guy in the dressing room feel like they’re an important part of the team.
Fantastic question. Response was better.
