Game On Mental Performance

The mind is a powerful thing.
It is like a muscle it can be trained.
I first message was how uncomfortable I was doing something that I really do not like to do and trying to get to another place with it

A second message was how things were beginning to change in my brain. And how walking was slowly but surely becoming a part of me.

12 weeks + my mindset. It’s completely different when it comes to walking.

The brain and the mind can be trained
I’m living proof of that
This is mental performance and mental toughness

I thank God every day, that I was born with it.

Those that have I don’t think they do you can find it. It’s just a matter of proper training. It’s not a light switch. You can’t turn it on and off. It’s a process. You just have to be willing to fight through the uncomfortableness to become comfortable.

Listen close. If you have to, listen to it more than once. This is the epitome of changing a mindset. A mindset that has to be. “I need to work harder
every single day because there are athletes out there that are already out-working me.” if there are thousands of athletes out there that are already out working you then you have to flip your mindset and say I can’t have that it can’t happen that way cause if it does, I will never achieve my goals, regardless of what they are. There are a lot of very hungry young athletes out there that have come and are coming from nothing just like Ray Lewis their mindset is this is my way out. This is my way to creating my legacy. This is my way to become the very best. It is almost impossible to beat someone who never quits, and who works harder every day. I will talk more about this as I go on, but your brain has to be trained to accomplish this. It is a process one of the ways you can look at it. Is this the most important day is today the most important workout is the one I’m doing today the most important two hours that I’m going to put into honing my skills and mechanics is today. If you work like there is no tomorrow you will play like there is no tomorrow. It is what you do today that leads to tomorrow.

This incredible video takes the age old adage of hard work to another level.

How can you beat someone who does not acknowledge nevermind comprehend the words quit, give up or stop.

This world is more competitive than ever. Regardless of your walk of life. Be it sports, athletics, Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, entrepreneurs. You simply cannot beat those that absolutely refuse to quit. Those that just never stop working.

It does not mean they win all the time. Or every day is a great or successful day. It means they just keep coming at you no matter what.

The majority think all of these people are anomalies or just born that way. With this innate ability to never say die or quit. Yes. Absolutely there are. But not all of them.

But NOT all of them. Those open to change. Open to learning, growing & evolving can be trained. It’s a mindset. It’s mental first. Then physical. The mind feeds the body & the soul. Just a small taste of great success can change one’s life. Believe it or not I’ve seen it.

They become that beast that never stops battling. Never stops fighting. Never stops working. And just keeps coming at you.

The choice is yours.
You can be born with it.
Or you can open your mind to be that person everyone is a bit afraid of. Because you will eventually conquer them all!
Never ever quit!
Never ever stop fighting!
Always keep moving forward no matter how hard it is or how much you hurt!

It’s freaking hard!! I watched a video of numerous sports experts, including Deion Sanders, who were asked what is the most difficult sport to play. Their answers were all the same. Baseball.

The reason is, it takes far more skill sets to play this game and become a great player for a long period of time than any other sport.

Therefore, without continuous hard work, you will never get the opportunity to achieve all of your goals

It’s a grind. I call it the
“Grind to Greatness”
It is a choice. To embrace the grind is a conscious choice.
If you want it bad enough, you need to make that choice

The art of hitting is not just incredible effective hitting mechanics. It is far more mental than physical.

You can be the strongest baseball player in the world, but you still have to hit the ball. Your mind and your mental approach play a direct role in your mental performance which leads to your physical performance

Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. I’ve heard a trainer say stop taking hitting lessons and just get stronger. I’ve heard hitting instructors say don’t worry about your strength. It’ll come in time. Just get your mechanics down. They’re both wrong.

You need to be as physically strong as possible. You need to have incredible hitting mechanics that work for you that allow you to make consistent hard line drive contact and spray the ball from foul line to foul line to foul line.
You need an incredibly effective mental approach that leads to successes of mental performance.

The mind controls the body, the mental controls the physical you need to be mentally tough. You need to set yourself up to be mentally successful. Without it your successes at the plate physically will drop off, especially as you get older and you start facing pitchers with who throw harder and know how to pitch.

That feeling of being uncomfortable when you are striving for higher levels is absolutely necessary. In order to become great at anything that you do in life, you need to step outside your comfort zone. You need to do things you’re not used to in ways you are not used. Think and act in ways that you are not used to. This is part of the process of evolving, learning & growing. In order to become comfortable at a higher level, you need to be uncomfortable during the journey to get there. It’s truly about two thingsCommitment to hard workWilling to feel uncomfortable
