Coaches and players are often risk-averse and like to tell cherry-picked stories of “the player who changed their body and got hurt,” or “made a swing change and got worse,” or “did a new training program and it didn’t work.”

It can scare people into just doing the same thing.

What they don’t talk about is all the players who stayed the same and never made it...or the ones who bet on being good enough just the way they do things now, then never make it.

The game has passed up many who have not taken that risk.

There is a cost to doing nothing.
