Hard work and detachment 
I have been consuming way too much social media and have made some observations (1/11):
I have been consuming way too much social media and have made some observations (1/11):
For starters, I think hard work is extremely important. Obviously it feels good to get after it in the weight room and work on your physique but that feeling of consistently putting in work is one of the best things you can do for your mental preparation in my opinion. (2/11)
If I don’t feel like I did enough training then I lack confidence because I am not properly prepared. However, I think the relationship with hard work and success is very misguided. (3/11)
It has turned more to fear mongering (JUAN SOTO HITS OFF THE TEE AND IS GOOD SO YOU MUST DO IT TOO!!) than dealing with actual facts. (4/11)
If you wake up at the crack of dawn and do a workout and someone else gets a few more hours of sleep and does the same workout they probably got more out of it because the extra recovery time. (5/11)
You can still play college ball even if you don’t wake up at 5 am and hit the weights, have a perfect diet, practice for hours and be in bed by 9 pm. The obsession with early mornings for teenagers doesn’t make any sense when we know that they need sleep more than anyone. (6/11)
It is not necessary to watch video and do drills all day to be the best player you can be. Now with so much info on the internet and social media, it is almost impossible to detach yourself from it. (7/11)
It is necessary to deal with your failure and understand how to compartmentalize different parts of your life so that you aren’t miserable after a bad game or prolonged slump. It is difficult to learn but for some reason this isn’t spoken of much. (8/11)
I think it kind of goes without saying that people need to work hard but shouldn’t that be pretty obvious? (9/11)
Instead of harping only on work ethic, let’s shed light on dealing with failure and still being able to maintain a normal, well-balanced life that achieves fulfillment in sports and other other avenues. (10/11)
Many of the best players in sports are passionate about other things outside of their job. So maybe, let’s not make people feel guilty if they aren’t “grinding” from sun up to sun down and encourage them to be passionate about a vast array of things. (11/11)
