What does finding “peace in the process” mean?
Succeeding at a high level in any sport is hard enough as it is. I think what needs to be understood is this:
You’re always chasing your future self.
Odds are, you’re never going to be as good as you know you can be or, can/will eventually be.
Your presence in the present is required.
Your thoughts, feels and emotions change day to day. Just like your cage sessions or throwing sessions aren’t the same, day to day. You’re going to suck one day and can be great the next. Future outcomes are not controllable.
Finding peace in the process to me is this:
If your preparation, mindset, routines, and work ethic were true to your values within the game, then you’re already “winning” before the first pitch is thrown.
Be great!
