Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness
Geno Auriemma shares how he explains success to his players and why showing up isn't enough. "If you go to class and you do average work, you're gonna get a C. That's why it's called average." "If you want a B, you have to do more work. If you want an A, you have to do even more work and you have to give up stuff." You get what you earn in life. "You have to sacrifice. Maybe you can't do all the things that everybody else does." It means if you want more then you have to be willing to do more. "If you're just happy getting Bs all your life, there's nothing wrong with that either. But you're never gonna get the satisfaction of what it feels like to get an A." Then he connected it to basketball: "If you just wanna be average, then you do average work. If you wanna be a little bit above average then you do a little more work." "If you wanna get As in basketball, then you gotta do stuff that other people aren't willing to do - especially if you have the talent like we do. We have talent." It means bring a mindset of excellence to everything that you do. Excellence isn't the goal - it's the standard you set. Then he called out the entitlement problem: "Some of these younger guys coming out of high school, man, they wanna show up and go, 'I'm here. Where's my 3.7?'" "Like my father used to say, 'I got your 3.7 right here.'" Showing up doesn't earn you anything. Doing the work does. You get the grade you earn - in school, in basketball, and in life. It's easy to be average...successful people look to compete in everything they do. (🎥UCTV Sports )

The harder you try in games... the worse you hit. That's not a talent problem. That's a trust problem. Your swing probably works. Stop judging every little thing mid-at-bat and just play. -> You can train this. And no, you won’t be able to achieve this 100% of the time. We are human. But, we can significantly improve it. -> When training, and you feel yourself criticizing yourself way too much, getting stiff and forcing everything, step out. Walk away. Reset. Nothing good is gonna come from you forcing. Reset. Change your thought process. Reset your goal and let yourself play the game. Let it happen. Let it flow. Trust your work. Making adjustments mid round / at bat and criticizing yourself is DIFFERENT. Adjusting is productive. Criticizing is not. Big difference. Elite hitters can adjust without hammering themselves. Can you get better at this? Bet you can. Go try. *Make sure you’re following for more on ‘turning BP hitters into game hitters’*

This is a series of stolen base attempts. Most base stealers that don’t use momentum leads are notoriously late on getting their body started to steal. If the pitcher has a decent leg & the catcher can throw with accuracy, you are often toast if you take this safety 1st approach.
