Baseball is a marathon, filled with failure, with some success mixed in. Always remember that you are never as good or bad as one day. The game will humble you when you get over confident. The best players/ teams stay consistent with their work. Practice should be harder then the game. Make yourself uncomfortable because that means you are working on your craft in the areas that need it. Work to play your best at the end of the year. Take care of your body and do the work consistently. Rome wasn't built in a day.
In 2019, the Washington Nationals won a ring. They were sick to watch at the end but most forget how it started:16-25. Baseball is an individual sport in a team setting but when your squad learns how to win and trust each other then other teams are in trouble at the end. The Nationals could of packed it in at 16-25 but its not how you start its how you finish.
By the end, Washington had learned how to win. They finished the regular season 10-1, is that good? In the playoffs, they were a different team, locked in. They had learned how to win and used their early season failures as motivation to keep going. They played hard and confident.
In game 5 they got smoked and everyone was already giving a good Stros team another ring. Backs against the wall, but the Nats had bad dudes on their team that knew that they still had it. Down 3-2 in the series against the best team in baseball.......... 7-2, 6-2, Game, Set, Match. Rolled them back to back nights for their ring because its not how you start, its how you finish, always.
