Major League Baseball is a microcosm of life.
No matter what you do in life, whether you’re a professional baseball player, a sports writer, an accountant, or even a service worker, the overall objective is the same.
You’re tasked with regulating your energy, trusting your abilities, and doing the work placed in front of you the best you can.
Some days, you have more energy than others. Some days, you have more pain. Some days, you might lack trust in yourself. Some days, you might feel invincible.
I think we’re drawn to sports as a society because it’s the best way to qualify and quantify who is successful at consistently trusting their abilities, regulating their energy, and performing in the present moment.
