Bobby Witt Jr. says after every game, win or lose, he writes down 3 things he’s grateful for and 3 positives from the day “That conversation happened kind of last year, so it took me a while to get to that conversation. I was always kind of nervous or scared to tell that to my parents, but it was just one of those things where it’s like, ‘All right, I understand all the negatives that happen in baseball. We’re losing a lot of games. I may not be playing well, and then I’m getting this from my parent or from my dad.’” “So it was like, ‘How can we figure these things out?’ That was a tough conversation with me and my dad because we’re so close. I know he’s trying to help me. He wants the best for me, and I want the best for myself, but there are ways where I just need that positivity because that drives you so much.” “You know, in this game, once you’re done playing, it’s over. You’ve got to make the most of each and every day. You’ve got to really make those positives keep adding up as much as you can. That’s something I do after every game. I write down my three gratitudes and three wins each and every day, whether we have a game or not.” “Hopefully the sun rises tomorrow and you have a new day, but you had a great day today, so just enjoy it. It was always something I wanted to get better at, the mental side of the game, mental performance. That’s huge in baseball because it’s a grind.” “I learned about keeping a daily performance journal. I do it before the game, before I put my uniform on, to start the day. Then right after the game, I finish up the journal and write down everything I need to write down.” “You’re always going to have bad days, but how can you take those three positives? Maybe the gratitude is that your family is good and healthy, the sun came out, or whatever it is, just the little things.”

Great pitcher, even better young man. Someone going to be very fortunate to get this guy!

👀@BriggsBucy is That Guy!! 👀

Big fan of this: Like Dan Hurley’s teams at UCONN, daily skill development is something that a lot of the best coaches implement - even during the season You should not be the same player at the end of the season as the beginning, and your skill level needs daily refinement

Big win for @MTHSFootball! 20-19! 🏈

Great season, boys!!

The IHSA's competitive balance committee is proposing a change to postseason team-bracketed sports that aims to ensure only 1 non-boundaried school can advance to state semifinals in each class FULL STORY - wrmj.com/ihsa-considering-se…

GEAR UP! @AliviaVaughan instagram.com/p/DeZg2-El9cm/…

This should be done more than “run and guns” if you’re a pitcher.
