Circle of Trust
I talked about perseverance and incremental improvement. My 2.0, who is 11, decided before last summer that he didn’t want to play baseball anymore. Then, after watching his brother play last summer, he decided in the fall that he wanted to play baseball this year. After taking a year off, I told him it would be difficult to catch up and he would have to work really hard, but that I would help him. True to his word, he’s been practicing almost every day, but baseball, unlike other sports, doesn’t provide an opportunity to practice once the season starts and you only can show improvement when you’re batting or if a ball comes to you. So, even though I can see his progress, it’s not translating to the game yet. But he keeps working at and persevering for which I give him a ton of credit and am really proud of him.
This a reminder to all of us, that we make the commitment to get up and work out at 5:15, but often we don’t notice the progress on a day-to-day or week-to-week basis because it’s incremental. However, when we look back over a 2 or 3 month period the improvement is often huge! So, remember we don’t get up for easy and keep pushing yourself to improve!
