In baseball—and in life—improvement doesn’t always come from doing more. Sometimes, it comes from stopping long enough to think.
Reflection turns experience into wisdom. After a game, a bullpen session, or even a tough day, ask yourself:
- What did I do well?
- Where did I lose focus?
- What can I do differently next time?
When you reflect, you’re not beating yourself up—you’re collecting data. You’re training your mind to notice patterns, both good and bad, so you can step back on the mound with clarity.
Calm isn’t an accident. It’s built in the quiet moments after the storm.
