In that moment, give every ounce of what you have, to perform the best you can, with helping/performing for the TEAM at the forefront of your thinking ;

              If you are only at 80% physically, mentally, etc,  then give 100% of that 80% ! 

"You let him know you're locked in on him from the time you leave the dugout.

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

For an elite athlete, "compete" means performing consistently at the highest possible level where the focus is on winning, pushing physical and mental boundaries, and achieving peak performance. It requires relentless training, extreme discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure. 

🏀 Trust in your work. Confidence comes and goes, but trusting your preparation, habits, and “trust buckets” builds a foundation you can always rely on. Trust in your teammates and coaches!
