This story is absolutely incredible

I’d STRONGLY encourage everyone to listen to this story by Alex Smith on hating football and being ashamed of his leg injury

It feels like it’ll be in a movie one day

[MLB Now @MLBNow]

.@Brewers lead hitting coach Eric Theisen talks about their "drag 'em" mentality at the plate:

"You can make an out and still be productive, still help the team win. You can take a piece with 'em and make it easier on the next guy."

Worry is a waste of time.

Stealing this for all-time.

"I didn't grow up just dreaming to play in the big leagues. I always dreamed about playing October baseball."

Best tradition in sports

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Tom Brady says his career turned around when a sports psychologist told him to stop complaining about what he wasn’t getting and start stewarding what he had the right way

“Greg said to me, ‘Why don’t you quit bitching about all the things you’re not getting, and how about you do the best with whatever opportunities you get?’, ‘Stop worrying about what the other quarterback’s getting. Stop worrying about what the coach is saying to you.’”

“‘Every time you get in there, you bring the juice. You bring the energy. You bring the enthusiasm. You treat practice like a game.’ Because if you just decide to go out there and you’re blaming everybody else, where does that get you? So I started to change my attitude.”

“I didn’t have a lot of confidence in myself. And when you don’t have a lot of confidence in yourself, you blame other people. When you gain confidence in yourself, you start pointing the finger at yourself.”

“I would encourage every athlete to look in the mirror after every day of practice or a game and say, ‘What can I do better to help the team? What can I do better?’”

“Not, ‘What does the coach need to do better?’ Not, ‘What do my teammates need to do better?’, ‘What do I need to do better?’ If every player does that, you’re going to have an incredible team.”

“You can’t have a false confidence. You don’t only gain your confidence because of your physical ability. You gain your confidence because you’re prepared, because you’re competitive. I couldn’t just show up and be better than everybody.”

“I had to show up prepared. I had to show up with energy. I had to show up with my body feeling right. I had to show up like I was on a mission.”

Payton Tolle realized he had an immaculate inning right before the ninth pitch

[Steve @postalsteve]

I don't care who you root for. If your manager gives a pep talk to a 21 yr old, with 2 months of MLB time, in the bottom of the 10th, w/bases loaded, and asks him if he's "ready", you better have goosebumps when he delivers.

[Chris Steed @csteed]

When asked what characteristic ALL ELITE ATHLETES SHARE, Kobe said ‘storytelling’.

“Tell yourself, don’t listen to yourself.”

World class athletes geniunely believe they have an alter ego when they need to go to another level. This is called the ‘Batman Effect’.

One of the many reasons that the 1% are virtually unrelatable to most.

In light of the AD return, here is the application of this. 👇🏼

[Chris Bartels @ChrisBartels20]

September 1st coming up for 2028 College Softball Prospective Student Athletes. With the new NCAA 5-5 recruiting rules, it’s only Day #1 of the next 2 years(HS Junior and Senior year) . If you don’t get a call, it’s not the end of the world. It you do, congrats.

How it feels watching the Detroit Tigers the last 10 games

[MLB @MLB]

Max Clark made a tremendous play in center field on this ball!

The Tigers’ rookie was out before the game working on this same play 👏
