Know Your Why
Why do you play the game? Why did you begin playing the game? Every athlete that I've asked these questions to, whether it be baseball, softball, golf, you name it, has said something along the lines of: It's the complexity of it. Or it's the beauty of it. Or it's just the fact that you're taking a very difficult and nuanced activity and doing it really well. If you've been playing your sport since you were a kid you might not even completely understand why you’ve always loved it. You just knew it was really fun and you showed up and balled out every time.
