Major cheat code for hitting: Before you step into the box, tell yourself you're going to win. Not maybe. Not hopefully. Tell yourself. Out loud. "I'm going to crush this baseball." Say it with conviction. Because when you hear yourself say it, something changes. Your focus changes. Your body language changes. Your intent changes.
Because theres one thing I've learned as a player who played 25 years:
The moment you tell yourself you're going to win, you start acting like someone who does.

11. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be.
12. If you need music on the beach, you’re missing the point.
13. Carry two handkerchiefs. The one in your back pocket is for you. The one in your breast pocket is for her.
14. You marry the girl, you marry her family.

16. Experience the serenity of traveling alone.
17. Never be afraid to ask out the best looking girl in the room.

Last night at South Plains Lanes, employee Dylan Macon shot a perfect sanctioned 900 series in the summer league.
He is only the 44th person to shoot a sanctioned 900 series...36 strikes in a row!
He won over $15,000!

Elon Musk: "In the next 6 to 12 months, we’ll be doing our first implants for vision, where even if somebody is completely blind, we can write directly to the visual cortex."
"Long term, you would have very high resolution and be able to see multispectral wavelengths... you could see in infrared, ultraviolet, radar. It's like a superpower situation."
Seniors, THANK YOU!! Thank you for your commitment, selflessness, hard work & always protecting the Tradition!!
You will be missed but the legacy you left will carry on!
