Yo, what's going on guys?
We're going to talk about mental toughness and how it relates to baseball today.
I think it's very important to be mentally tough if you're a baseball player.
Nobody likes a sissy out there on the field, right?
But what do you think about when you think of someone who is mentally tough or someone
who is just tough in general you know.
I automatically envision someone who is like taking a beating and just keeps coming and
keeps getting up.
That's someone who is tough, right?
So mentally tough is, that would be physically tough, but mentally tough is the same thing.
Mentally you're taking a beating and you just keep going and you grow tougher and stronger
from that experience, right?
The resistance that you get from the game, the failures that you get from baseball, and
baseball is a game of failure, right?
The best hitters in the game are failing 7 out of 10 times.
So, you're going to have a lot of resistance, you're going to have a lot of failure that
your mind has to go through, but those resistance, that resistance, think about it like lifting
weights, when you're lifting weights you've got the resistance of the weights, right,
and you're pushing those weights away from you, or pulling them towards you, whatever
you're doing, but you have that resistance and what does that resistance do?
It makes you stronger.
It makes you grow stronger.
So, the resistance that you get from failure is like God's or the Universe's resistance.
It's making you stronger.
Those experiences are making you stronger.
So, to be mentally tough, you have to go through that.
You know, I'm sorry, there's no easy way to put it.
You know, you've got to overcome those things.
You've got to persevere, you have to go through that to become more mentally tough and if
you can whether the storm, you're going to be a stronger person because of it and this
doesn't just go for baseball.
It's very important for baseball because baseball is a game of failure but it goes in life as
well.
So, think about that the next time you strike out, you know, don't get so beat up on striking
out or getting out.
If you think about it this way where you go "hey, that was the Universes resistance so
that I can overcome it and become a stronger person, a better player".
When you think about it that way, that really changes the way you can approach the game
and you're going to be a better player because of it.
