Be a better pitcher is about more than just pitching. Pitching is a way for us athletes to harness so much good in this life and world. For me, baseball has been a point of focus that has directed everything in my life towards something positive. Showing up EVEryday and getting my work in makes everything else that is going on in my life seem to fall into place. The more focused I remain on my end goal of making it to the big leagues, the more I achieve in other aspects of my life as well.
In order to be a better pitcher, we need to first concern ourselves with how we go about what we do, and more importantly, why? What is your motivation? What is the reason you sacrifice so much to play this game? Why do you want to be in the big leagues? Is it for the money and the lifestyle that you have heard about? How bad do you want it? What are you willing to do to get there? Some guys are blessed with so much God given ability that they don't even have to think about questions like this. Man, I wouldn't even want that because it would make the whole journey a lot less fruitful and rewarding. Even if I never make it, I will always be thankful for what baseball has taught me. I will always be thankful for its positive presence in my life. Being a better pitcher starts with being a better person. Baseball is the glue that helps us move forward and work towards something that feels bigger than we are. Thats all for now...stay tuned.
