Great advice from @TimCorbin:
1. "Learn to love your parents more, but depend on them less."
2. "Get off your phone as much as you can."
3. "You don't have to play baseball 12 months out of the year to become a better baseball player."

Confidence is a choice, not a feeling.
You can choose your body language.
You can choose where you direct your focus.
You can choose how you talk to yourself.
Recommendation
1. Be the hardest worker on your team
2. Be the most mature player on your team
3. Be the best teammate on your team
It's amazing how many doors those things open!

“You can teach yourself a lot by playing long toss. It's about having a mindset: [I’m] 300 feet away, my goal is to get it to him maintaining first baseman responsibilities, I want to make sure he can act like a first baseman and ‘stay on the bag.’”

Paying attention in baseball is a skill. It’s not easy and is undervalued. Those that not only just watch, but pay attention to the game learn, adapt and make quicker adjustments.
Pay attention!
