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. I hope this video helps some of you guys. Share it for
