Somewhere along the way, we decided every swing must produce perfect exit velocity, perfect launch angle, and a highlight-reel outcome. When it doesn't, we panic...

No one ever succeeds alone.

That thought is garbage.

Try a different one…

Have you already won, or are you waiting for the games to start?

Have you ever watched the grounds crew drag the infield, or a Zamboni resurface the ice during a hockey game? It’s pure magic. History becomes potential. Chaos turns into order. All is forgiven and forgotten, ready for the next moment…

I looked up three words in the thesaurus:

LEARN, PREPARE, and PERFORM.

This is what I read…

Do you want your team to play better?

Lighten up. Baseball is a game. Let it be one.

With humility and intellectual honesty, Alex Burg pursued understanding rather than validation. That mindset ultimately helped put his player on a path to a second consecutive Gold Glove.

If you’re ready to expand your own toolbox, look beyond baseball. The tool you need to unlock your next level might be sitting somewhere you never thought to look.

Why don’t we teach our kids how to think, how to adapt and cope, how to lead and be great teammates? We seem to leave that to chance, or we frame it as “character” and simply hope they figure it out on their own.

The problem is the hidden assumption under most forecasts: that whatever direction you're currently heading is straight, predictable, and permanent. But it will not always be this way.

Sometimes it feels like eyewash to write in a journal, or take five minutes to breathe and visualize, or build a simple routine that you actually follow. But without practicing these skills, you’re letting your hard-earned experiences collect dust in a hoarder’s library.

Don’t miss the lesson hidden in the celebration. The moment after the moment is where your training truly shows.

Hope is not a strategy. Adversity is guaranteed.

The question is: are you preparing now, or reacting later?
