One of the most overlooked attributes in life and sports are something that we all know exist, yet for whatever reason, remain incredibly difficult to quantify despite the data driven analytical world we currently live in…
The issue is that they can’t be measured by a stopwatch, a radar gun, exit velocity or launch angle…
Specific stats have the ability to tell a bit of the story but never the entire truth dictating their actual worth… Wins and losses are directly impacted by these and the overall success of the entire organization depends heavily on its members having them.
Unfortunately, there is no physical or psychological test that guarantees their presence, and it’s only through experiencing individual and team success and failures when they are ultimately revealed in all of their glory…
As much as one thinks it may be a physical attribute, they are not. They are metaphorically available to all races, creeds and genders…
“What are they, Professor EB, what are they?!?!?!
Well good morning Mr. SuperSoft… They have actually eluded you up to this point in your life. They are something that you strive to get but your selfish attitude and actions along with your distaste for difficult situations and doing the work have completely hidden their existence. You are talented Stevie, but you have a lot of growing to do until you will be able to grab onto the most valuable asset any of us will ever be able to hold in our lifetimes…
Sure, they will allow you to have success in the most pressure packed situation imaginable, but more importantly, they will allow for you to take accountability and remain grounded when things don’t go your way… They will keep you humble but will forever keep you HUNGRY and striving for more…
“I know I know I know the answer now Professor EB!!!!!”
What’s that Stevie?
“Magic mushrooms!!!!”
Wrong Stevie, but if you ever end up growing a pair I’ll let you know. ⚾️ ⚾️
