@JermaineCurtis @BodzinPitching Say it louder 📢📢

I signed to UCLA my junior year of high school and was told I was going to start Day 1. Opening Day at UCLA? I was sitting the bench. 😭 I had 2 choices: 1. Complain, pout, and blame the coaches OR 2. Find the holes on the team and become valuable. So for 3 weeks, I sat the bench. I showed up early. Stayed late. Cheered for my teammates. Dragged the field every 3rd inning. Meanwhile, I studied the team. The middle infielders were doing well. Third base wasn’t. So I told the coaches: “I can play third.” Then I noticed something else: Offensively, we were either hitting home runs or getting out. I saw the gap. If I could become a tough out, get on base, and bring energy to the team… I could create value. Then we played Miami. The starting third baseman was hitting .115. They gave me a shot. I went 2 for 3 with a walk. Played solid defense. Brought energy. I never sat the bench again. Eventually, I became team captain… and we were ranked #1 in the country. One thing baseball taught me: Opportunities don’t always go to the most talented player. Sometimes they go to the player who becomes the most valuable.

Everyone says “Hitting is 90% mental.” But almost nobody shows hitters how to train the 90%. So I built a course around it. The Mental Game for Hitters is now live! patrickjonesbaseball.com/mental-game

@brettwallace29 Hi Brett, sorry to hear about this. Could you please DM us more details about your reservation? We'd like to help.

@RioVegas won’t let you call the front desk, won’t let you call housekeeping. Can’t get sheets for a pull out couch for over an hour for our 5 year old to go to bed. All you can do is call their AI operator who puts in a “request”… AND the front desk can’t get you sheets either. What are we doing? Already forced to stay here for my son’s hockey tournament, but the experience is 🤦‍♂️

Merry Christmas! Don’t forget the real reason for the Season.

@Mark_Shires That’s a big time endorsement. I appreciate you, I’ll reach out. Hope you are doing well

@brettwallace29 Arizona Glove Lab! theglovelab.com If I can’t do it, Chris does it

Know anyone in AZ who can re-lace gloves? Need to take palm pad out of my son’s glove.

I have to get my son a @DallasStars throwback jersey for Xmas 🙏🙏
