Not the way we thought it should end but you have to believe there's a greater plan. Never lose doubt, the stories not over. #Believe https://t.co/Cwya2EPxpj

Sad to say that Tuesday was my last high school baseball game 😪

[Keith Owens @kmowens22]

@zachbollinger18 Didn’t see that coming but I’m good with. Lead off hitters only lead off to start the game! Go O’s

@Wyatt_S7 @OriolesMagic23 Who’s playing SS to give him a day off??? This isn’t a slow pitch softball team. There isn’t a MLB SS on the roster with Mateo on the IL. He needs to play. The team isn’t the same with him out of the lineup.

[Keith Owens @kmowens22]

@OriolesMagic23 Absolutely! He hasn’t thrown a pitch or had an at bat. He has a great feel for his team and has to play the cards he’s dealt. It doesn’t always work out. 2 years ago everyone praised how he managed the bullpen and options. Doesn’t have the same freedom now so he’s bad?

[Keith Owens @kmowens22]

@OriolesMagic23 Clown tweet!

[Keith Owens @kmowens22]

@OriolesMagic23 He stays and figures it out, period.

@editti22 Line of the night was when @realbenmcdonald said “you got to charge it!” But he took it like a champ!!!

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

Just spoke with the parents of an 8u athlete. This past weekend they played back-to-back triple headers. Also, read this past weekend an 8u team played 8 games over 3 days with FIVE in one day! This is ABUSE, not " GRINDING"! The business model of youth baseball is a cluster! Adults that run these programs need to be evaluated! #baseball

Athletes: Take 1 minute to really listen. It can change everything for you!

Change your “what if?” To “even if”

[Rob Younce @robyounce]

Coaches, players crave leadership and they want to feel that you care for them. If they get that, they will walk through a wall for you. If not, you won’t get their best effort every day.

[Jack Barry @jacthlete]

The greatest lesson I ever learned about dealing with pressure…

Came from a, Landscaper???

One of my best friends, college teammate and roommate once sent our team a message before we played one of the biggest series of the season

The message still sticks with me today:

“Any time you feel pressure, think about the pressure the guy sitting in a foxhole in the Middle East feels. Not knowing if he’s going to make it home, thousands of miles away from everything he’s fighting for.”

Powerful

He now runs a very successful landscaping company, but has seen firsthand what pressure actually looks like in real life

Not something made up when you’re playing a game

Pressure isn’t hitting a home run down one in the ninth

It’s making sure you can still work to support your family and put food on the table

Or a roof over your head

But Pressure means you care.

Pressure means it MEANS something to you

It doesn’t matter how minuscule the task or purpose.

But it usually ties back to something bigger than whatever is happening in that moment:

-you’re nervous during the big at bat because if you fail the team will lose, you’ll think about it for days/weeks/years, your coaches will lose faith in you, and your parents will be disappointed

-youre nervous to talk to the beautiful girl because you’ve gotten rejected in the past and your group of friends clowned you for it and made it personal

-you want your business to be successful because everyone told you in high school that you would be a failure and not amount to anything.

THAT is why you feel that pressure.

But how bad are those things in retrospect?

What if the scenario flips?

Really, your personal problems pale in comparison to the person mining for cobalt to put in the phone that you’re reading THIS TWEET on.

They’re making 20 cents a day to feed their entire family.

You just couldn’t get a hit today playing a GAME

Any high leverage situation is a blessing for you to showcase your skillset

Not a chore

So enjoy the moment

Smile and laugh in those pressure situations

Apollo Ohno, one of the greatest speedskaters in Olympic History, would YAWN before big races

Showcasing his relaxed approach to big moments

It’s just another day at the office

Not life or death

Relish the moment. Cherish it.

Who knows

Things just might work out.

And then you party

Hope you enjoyed this! If you did, throw this a Retweet and make sure you follow me!
