With the World Series just wrapping up, I’ve heard countless girls say they’d give anything to play on that stage. Would you really, though? Does your work ethic prove that? Truthfully I’ve run into more athletes with excuses than with the drive it takes to be great.
I know it’s hot. I know the umpires are terrible. I know you had to wake up early and play 6 games cuz you got in the losers bracket. Guess what though.. nobody cares.
Its not entirely their fault. Society made people soft by giving everybody a trophy so no one gets their feelings hurt. But as you get older, you’re not GIVEN anything worth keeping. I only bring this up because most girls will get a “no” from their dream schools & be stunned by it.
If you’re reading this I hope you’re not left wishing you had done more. Eat right. Condition to the point you think your lungs are bleeding & your muscles are exploding. Continuously seek discomfort in an effort to build grit. Refine your skills nearly every day. When you think you’ve practiced enough go out & do some more. THEN you’ll know you truly did give everything & regardless of where you end up, you’ll be successful. That type of “all in” discipline transcends the ball field & leads to an entire life of excellence.
