A veteran Major League pitcher got up in front of my team’s minor leaguers this spring and gave a very inspired speech about the path to the big leagues.
One point that stayed with me was that it didn’t matter what the path was; spending six years in rookie ball and getting called up is just as good as climbing up step by step and making it. The goal is to get to the top, and there are many ways to do it.
This fellow went on to have the best season of his career to date, and I’m glad that I got to see him give this talk in March. His media interviews mean a lot more to me because I saw how focused he was out of the gate, before he won more games and worked more efficiently than ever.
This is the kind of stuff he does with his free time.
