I would like to share a story about confidence as a ball player or in many other life situations.
Coming into the 2011 spring training I was quickly in my own head after getting off to a rough start!
Thoughts started entering my mind about
Man I will get released here pretty soon
It will be a long flight back to Germany
Man I suck!
What will I tell my family and friends
So when these thoughts creep in your mind I highly recommend switching your thought process because it will destroy you!
I dig myself a deeper hole from day to day.
About two weeks into spring training and sucking much because I was so worried , my manager took me to the side and said what the fu.. is going on with you???
I told him what was going through my mind and he quickly responded…
What the hell are you talking about?
You will be my starting first baseman this year!
