Failure isnβt the problem β staying stuck is. You canβt change the last play. Itβs over. Gone. Unchangeable. The best donβt avoid failure β they practice it until recovery becomes automatic. A speed bump only becomes a roadblock if you stop driving. Next play. Always:

This is not meant to βdogβ Arraez because it was very out of character & he was obviously distraught on the bench after the play. But it is a great lesson for ALL players regarding how important it is to run your βbest speedβ through the base or until you are 100% sure that you

π¨ Pitching Focus + Execution Tip β’ Treat your bullpen like inning 1 β’ Simulate batters + visualize results βοΈ Too often we wait for the game to start before we flip the switch. Use the bullpen to get locked in & ready to compete. Set the tone in inning 1.
