Outlooks change Outcomes.
To get more of the positive ‘outcomes’ you’re after in life (ON and OFF the field), try shifting your ‘outlook’ (perspective) on everything.
Best way to do this? Cultivate an attitude of gratitude by taking time every day to appreciate all of your blessings, gifts, accomplishments, etc. (what you appreciate, appreciates!)
When we do this, we feel better in general, and when we feel better we play better.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that Gratitude may be the most important mental tool of all.
"Never allow your role to dictate your effort."
@danorlovsky7
Your true value lies in the effort you put forth, every day, every play.
In the pursuit of greatness, it's not your role that defines you, but your relentless drive to exceed it.
PLAYERS: If you are the most talented player on your team, you should also be hardest worker on the team. Lead by example. Set the standard. Be the standard.
If you’re waiting for it to get easier, you’ll be waiting a long time. Obstacles are always around the corner. Adversity is part of the journey.
Perfect circumstances don’t exist.
Just take action.
PLAYERS: If you want to stand out or gain an advantage, do the work that others refuse to do. Fill a need on your team. Find ways to be valuable. Excel at the little things. Come early. Stay later. Do a little bit extra.

The next time you make an error or any type of mistake during competition, use this simple 3 step Reset Routine to quickly bounce back.
Step 1: Before the game, draw a reset button under your hat. You can also draw it on your wrist tape, on your glove or wherever you’d like to.
Step 2: After an error, take off your hat and take a deep breath while pressing the reset button. This will help you gain control and stop any downward spiral from starting.
Step 3: Take control of your self-talk by repeating “hit the next ball to me, I will make this play”. This may be the most important part of it all.
Know that it’s all about having a routine to go to, not if, but WHEN adversity comes your way. So, the next time you inevitably fall short of your expectations, utilize this Reset Routine and you’ll be ready to make the next play.
Hitting starts WAY before getting into the box. Below are 6 steps that will lead to more consistent hitting…
1. I believe it all starts the night before with a good PM routine leading to a good night of sleep. Know that a great day today started the night before.
2. Have a solid pre-game routine and be consistent with it. (cage work, BP, standing in on bullpens, visualization, journaling, nap, etc.)
3. Know when your at-bat starts so you can segment the game and turn up the intensity of your focus. Is it when you’re in the hole, on deck, when you put your batting gloves on?
4. When you’re on deck, act like you’re in the box. This time is crucial to take control of your self-talk and breath, and get in sync with the pitcher.
5. Walk with big body language to the plate. Whether you are 10 for your last 15 or 0 for your last 15, carry yourself like the most confident version of you at all times.
6. Have a solid pre-pitch routine. Utilize your breath and make sure your self-talk is directing your focus to what you WANT to happen, rather than what you HOPE doesn’t happen.
The great part about these steps is that they are all 100% in your control. Be great with them, and you will win the inner war, and you will become a much more consistent hitter.
John Wooden said, "The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team."
A great teammate is a selfless, supportive, and reliable person that contributes to the team.
They personify WE over ME and give to the team.
