The Standard. He enjoys his craft and he’ll do it regardless of victory.
The artist enjoys the game for games sake.
Hype is eye wash.
It’s simply a game to be played the same way all the time. The artist finds little value in winning other than playing to his potential.
A theory…
Great athletes are either hyper competitive or hyper artistic.
The competitors need an opponent. They feed off the energy of the victory. Game day is a day to prove your worth. Let’s go!!!!
There is, however, an alternative model.
The artist thrives on…
Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

"Teams are no more committed than the leaders are.
When it comes to leadership, it's about example.
Are you an interested leader?
Or are you a committed leader?
If you are interested, you only do it when it's convenient.
If you are committed, you accept no excuses." @coach_bnapier

Notice his lower half ....he addresses the symptom of “shoulder then hands” (weight shift leaked-hip opens)
Vs “Hand opens the shoulder” ( hands get connected to the backside) RJ always stresses the importance of demoing the lower half and weight transfer.....the correct way!
Keegan Gilbreath-2024-Catcher/Utility Seymour HS with a lead off stand up double down 3rd base line to start the day. Had a 3/3 day today with a double and 2 singles. Scored 2 runs and had an rbi from the lead off spot.
