Don’t let the game speed up on you at the next level. Mentally, slow the game down. Physically, work until you’re making plays effortlessly and even after that KEEP WORKING. Protect your craft!
There’s a difference in between playing softball and being a softball player. Softball players are coachable and students of the game building their IQ.
If there’s no struggle then there’s no progress. This struggle may be mental, this struggle may be physical, or both mental & physical. However there will be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without demand. Be 1% better each day!
