Major cheat code for hitting: Before you step into the box, tell yourself you're going to win. Not maybe. Not hopefully. Tell yourself. Out loud. "I'm going to crush this baseball." Say it with conviction. Because when you hear yourself say it, something changes. Your focus changes. Your body language changes. Your intent changes.
Because theres one thing I've learned as a player who played 25 years:
The moment you tell yourself you're going to win, you start acting like someone who does.

LET'S GO KNIGHTS!
Last night, our season ended. We outhit them but just couldn't push across a couple more runs. I am proud of the way we fought until the end! We talked about playing our best ball at the end and we did that. Just fell a little short. Thank you seniors! We know you'll do us proud!
