5 Keys To Baseball Success

Key 5: MINDSET
Great athletes at all levels have what we call “the intangibles.” Athletes and coaches talk about it, but they are qualities that can’t be taught. These are the qualities that separate the good athletes from the great ones. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to separate yourself from your teammates, because everyone is talented. Athletes need to be persistent, passionate, positive, competitive, driven, tough and focused to succeed at the highest levels. Look at yourself as the guy that rises to the occasion, makes teammates better or makes the big play. The proper mindset will allow you to adapt to the increased volume of work that is expected of you as you move from level to level in your baseball-playing career.
