Mike Vrabel gives a masterclass on mindset, self-talk, and dealing with doubt.
"You can't let doubt creep into what you do as a person. I don't care what you do."
"You have to be able to talk to yourself and not listen to yourself so much. You have to tell yourself what to believe."
Read that again about your self-talk. Talk to yourself - don't just listen to yourself.
Your mind will feed you doubt, fear, and negativity. Your job is to challenge it. Tell yourself what's true, not what's easy to believe.
"That doesn't say that there aren't tough times that you struggle with failure. You have to be able to recognize it and know that that is a part of all of us."
Failure isn't the opposite of success - it's part of the path to it.
Successful people don't avoid adversity. They expect it. They know that they must learn from the setbacks and challenges.
"If you coach long enough, you're gonna get fired. Just like if you play long enough, you're gonna get cut or you're gonna get traded. That's just how this business is."
That's the reality. Not cynicism...clarity.
"I've tried to explain it to the players that this is what happens. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to be able to do it with this group of guys."
Tough times happen. The choice is to be a tough person that overcomes those tough times.

@IrishTimesSport Watched him play the last few hole at Portrush Sunday evening. His game looked like it was in great form, but the way he treated the fans was incredible!
If your center fielder isn't making diving catches like this for you, what are you doing?
@John_Bay10 goes full Superman for this out in the fourth.

The confidence to fail without fear is a superpower. As coaches and parents, our goal should be to give this gift to players.
Fear of failure is always the greatest enemy on the path to success.
