Art of Acquiescence - “to accept rather than fight every little thing.”
It can be a liberating feeling when you stop “caring” about the result, but I think it’s more about “accepting” whatever happens/the result.
Control what you can. You cannot fully control results.
NLCS MVP Jake Bauers shares how letting go of results helped him find a different level of freedom as a competitor.
"I think what changed for me this year was I stopped caring about results. I started caring about competing. I started caring about being in the moment and getting out of my own way."
Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to performing at your best isn't a lack of preparation or ability.
It's the pressure you place on yourself to produce a particular outcome.
You become so concerned with what you want to happen that you lose touch with what the moment actually requires.
Any performer can unlock a new level when they learn how to be fully invested in the competition without becoming imprisoned by the outcome.

I knew a hitting coach who worked with a few big league teams and he always said he spent more time building confidence than he did talk about approach or mechanics

"That's the goal as hitting coaches, to get guys to believe in themselves because you're not always going to feel great."

YESSSSSSSSSS…..love this! Good stuff, Greg….and Rudy is the man!
I learned this drill from Rudy Jaramillo when I was with the Rangers. I'm trying to hit this pitch (down, in and deeper in the zone) up the middle with backspin. It forced me to be direct with the barrel out front and get familiar/comfortable with that location without muscling up.
Place the tee just in front of your stride foot on the inside corner. Drive the ball up the middle and if possible, to the opposite corner of the cage.
I loved the feeling of not fearing the inside pitch. It gave me the freedom to focus on the heart of the plate. I later got traded to the Yankees and saw Derek Jeter consistently hit this location to the RCF gap (in game), solidifying my confidence in this drill.
If you (or your hitter) can't hit this ball up the middle, it's likely that the shoulders are turning prematurely. It ain't for everybody, but it could be for somebody!
Thanks for watching/reading all that!

Timing has to happen 1st. Getting in a “hitting position” with timing.
Separate with timing and balance.

Josh Naylor is 5-foot-10, 235 pounds, and ranks near the very bottom of MLB in sprint speed. Baseball-Reference says no one his size had ever stolen more than 10 bases in a season. He's stolen 30. A thread on how the slowest man on the field robs everyone.
