Win This Pitch

The “controllables” on a baseball team are really the same in life. Controlling our own attitude and effort are the simplest things we can do all the time, so that we can be our best self and pursue our intention. It takes tremendous discipline, and maybe it’s a little much to expect from a pre-teen boy. But, I can say that my son and I still refer to this video (wish I still had access to it) as a reminder to one another to stay in the moment and control our “controllables” and we increase our chances for success the next time and beyond.

Control (noun)

Give this a try with me. Notice how you feel when you commit to being in control of one specific thing today. Then, at the end of the day, note whether or not it helped you be your intention. How was your inner dialogue during the day? How did it impact the resulting outcomes of your day? Did it inspire you to try it again the next day?
