Love this, chandler simpson getting his pre pitch dialed in during BP. So many players neglect these reps during BP because of the focus. Watch his eyes and body move in the direction the ball is hit. It’s the little things.

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.

Pat Murphy uses climbing a mountain to explain how he wants his team to handle getting closer to its goal.
“As you get closer, you just got to keep your footing…you can’t look too far ahead. When you look up for the prize…you might step in a crack or a pothole.”
Getting close to a goal can pull a team away from the very things that put it within reach.
Players start pressing. Coaches feel compelled to say more. Everyone wants to make something happen.
Part of leading in those moments is helping people trust the work they’ve done and stay connected to what the next play (and moment) requires.
Keep the goal in view and the next step in focus.

I don’t have all the answers but I love baseball because of the ups and downs and constant grind. So here’s some thoughts for the “X hitting” war that is going on right now.

Not all players get to leave the game on their own terms.
Only a select few do.
For most, the transition from being a baseball player to the “real world” is one of the hardest things they’ll ever do.
Fans see these guys playing a kid’s game.
Players and their families know better.
It’s a ruthless business that can consume you, shape you, and eventually become your identity.
The 99% will never fully understand what the 1% went through to get there.
And when the game is over, the hardest part for many players isn’t leaving baseball.
It’s figuring out who they are without it.

This is everything right. Might be the greatest thing I’ve ever seen on social media. Little dusty in here. Well done Mr. Verlander. Thank you for an outstanding career. Recognizing greatness when it is happening is rare. Well done Tigers.

Your parents. Your past. Your boss. Your coach. Your team. Your circumstances. What somebody else did or said.
Eventually, blame runs out.
Growth starts when you take ownership of your attitude, your effort, your decisions, your actions, and your response to reality.
