Baseball For The Mind

It's been said that baseball is life... It contains struggles, hard work, competition, rewards, bad calls, great teammates & hopefully great coaches, plus last inning wins and last inning dissappointments.

I will tell you that the greatest game a boy can play is baseball. Not the only game, and some might argue not the most exciting game, but it is, nonetheless, the world's greatest game.

WHY?
Because, it is a game where it takes more individual small pieces and parts to achieve success than most other games. It is a game that contains what has been called, "the most difficult single task in all of sport," that of striking a round ball with a round bat.

Though I have learned not to focus on the negative, baseball has been called a game of failure. A game where failing 7 out of 10 times places you among the hitting elite... the .300 hitter. Where in the Big Leagues a great team might win 100 games in a season, but where they also lose 62 in that same season. The best baseball teams seldom go undefeated.

It's a game where kids from all sides of the tracks become teammates. And teammates become friends over a long season complete with a roller coaster of emotions.

And maybe, and most to the point, is that 80% of the success that players & coaches achieve is squarely the result of what he does above the shoulders... with his mind!

ALLOW AND WILL YOURSELF TO SUCCEED AND NOT FAIL.... JUST LIKE LIFE!

It is a game where a good boy has the greatest chance of becoming a good and confident man... because of these life experiences.

There are worse ways for a boy to spend his time!
