Baseball Players: Read This.
Shane Battier once explained something every athlete needs to understand about winning.
He said during his NBA career he realized 98% of the time he was on the court… he never touched the ball.
Only 2% of the time did he actually have it.
Yet he was a key piece on championship teams.
Because the real impact happened in the 98% no one was watching.
In baseball, that looks like:
• Taking the extra base
• Moving a runner over with a ground ball
• Backing up every throw
• Winning a 7-pitch at bat even if it ends in an out
• Being the loudest guy in the dugout
• Sprinting on and off the field
• Being in the right spot on defense
Everyone notices the home runs.
Championship teams are built by the players who dominate the 98% of the game without the ball.
Baseball is the ultimate team game.
Be the guy your teammates trust when nobody is watching.

Said before and I’ll say it again…
One of my favorite things about sports is what it demands from any athlete who aspires to be great.
Speaking specifically to baseball, but absolutely relatable to other sports, is IT DOES NOT CARE about your feelings!!
• Feeling sorry for yourself doesn’t work.
• Feeling angry about others performance, teammates and umpires, doesn’t work.
• Complaining about being sore doesn’t work.
• Whining about playing conditions doesn’t work.
• You have a headache, your opponents don’t care.
• You have a sprained ankle, your opponents don’t care.
• You’re in a slump, I’m not going to go easy on you.
• You’re unhappy with playing time, moping around isn’t going to help, you better find a way to get and be better.
There is no place for soft in the game. (Coincidentally, there’s no place for it in the real world either!)
The higher you get in the game, it demands mental stability. There’s nowhere to hide. Your weaknesses will be exposed faster than ever before.
As coaches and parents, one of our main goals should be to help our kids and players with this required absolute. And WE better be the example of mentally stability. If we aren’t, WE are part of their weakness.

For those that don't know, Yadier Molina actually tried out for the Reds. During tryouts, Johnny bench saw Yadi and informed the top brass of the reds organization that they need to sign him. Bench went to Yadi and told him that he put in a good word and he would be sure to be playing for the reds. When it came to the draft, the reds never picked him and the Cardinals picked him and the rest is history.
