Synopsis

A lesson from the baseball field: In baseball, players with the highest batting average strike out more times than they get on base or hit homeruns. Their athletic mindset knows it's okay to get back up to bat no matter what the outcome may be! In his 24 year career in Major League Baseball back in the 1920's, Ty Cobb still holds the highest batting average of all time. He got on base ONLY 3.5 times out of 10, or in statistical terms, had a .366 batting average. He struck out 6.5 times out of 10, yet he is known as a legend! The athletic mindset says, Be like a batter! If you have an idea, share it whether you think they'll like it or not. And if you do strike out, just brush yourself off, and get up to bat again… just keep on swinging! Become a legend in whatever you want to accomplish.
