The St. Louis Cardinals‘ players Dexter Fowler and Kolten Wong still know how to hit. They still have the physical attributes that can allow them to hit the ball. The issue is all mental in the expectations and meaning they are putting to the results they are getting. Baseball is always said to be a mental game and Wong and Fowler are in need of a mental re-framing. Enter stoicism.
Stoic philosophy began in third century BC Athens and was popularized later by Marcus Aurelius and Seneca. You are not here for a history lesson so I’ll stop there but the premise of stoicism is to control what you can, do not fret about what you cannot, and master the inner self.
