Santa Fe Inferno 10u -Dunton

The pitchers you call “mentally tough” aren’t just wired different. They get in their head too. They feel pressure. They doubt themselves. They have innings where everything feels off.

The difference? They don’t let it take them out.

That wasn’t luck. That was built. Built by getting rocked and showing up again. Built by walking hitters and figuring it out on the fly. Built by competing when everything in them wanted to shut down.

That’s where real confidence comes from. Not from feeling good. From proving to yourself — over and over — that you can handle hard.

Most pitchers wait to feel confident before they compete. That’s backwards.

The ones who separate? They compete uncomfortable. They compete frustrated. They compete doubting. And they learn how to stay steady anyway.

That’s what makes them dangerous.

So if you’re in your head right now? Good. That’s where the build starts.

Handle it right.

Facts. At this age, kids should be learning how to be coachable, good teammates. All the rest is icing on the cake.

Always keep it real

Listen close, dear daughter…

You don’t have to play the part of the good girl.
I know the weight that it carries.
Trying to be ‘good.’
Good is doing all the right things.
Good is self-sacrifice.
Good is what’s expected.
Good is what’s praised.

Except

Good is subjective.

What looks good for some
Can feel terrible for others.
What someone says feels good.
May not be the right fit for you.
And what someone believes is good.
You may know in your heart, is not.

So, no, my girl.
I don’t hope for you to be good.

I hope for you to be real.

Authentic.

And true to you.

I believe I’ve raised you to decide right from wrong.
I believe I’ve shown you when and where kindness matters.
I believe I’ve given you the tools to make smart decisions.
I believe I’ve placed the power of choice in your hands.

And I believe in you being real over good.

Because while good may be how you’re perceived by others.

Real…. Real is who you are within yourself.

So please, dear daughter, don’t try to be the good girl.

Strive to be the real one. ♥️
