Four ways to overcome the fear of failure in games:

1. Play for fun and improvement.

2. Focus only on what you can control.

3. Believe in yourself and have courage.

4. Have a positive attitude about failure (understand that failure isn’t fatal, and that it helps you learn).

“The first step on the ladder of success is always failure. Immature people don’t deal well with failure and immature people don’t understand that there is going to be failure.” You will never succeed more than you fail. Failure is part of the process of becoming successful.

“Failure is easy. Success is way harder than managing failure. People believe when you do good, you have earned the right to do less. With success, you earn the right to do more." Success is not just about reaching a goal. It's about a commitment to continuous improvement.

Four reasons to not be afraid of failure:

1. You can’t succeed without facing and overcoming your fears.

2. You’re stronger than you think you are.

3. Failure is not final. You can learn and improve from it.

4. Even if you fail, your worth as a human doesn’t change.

"Sometimes a step in the journey does not exactly go forward. When you experience failure, you’ve got an opportunity. When adversity hits you in the face, in this game and in life, you’ve got two choices: you can choose character or you can choose to cut a corner and compromise.”

Big leaguers make errors.

Big leaguers strike out.

Big leaguers walk guys.

Big leaguers aren’t perfect; they’re human.

What makes a Big Leaguer a Big Leaguer is their ability to turn that failure & adversity into that which makes them, not that which breaks them... by LEARNING.

Mentally tough athletes stay motivated no matter the amount of failure or success they experience. They never give up when faced with adversity, and they always stay hungry after success.

Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm!!!

But it's NOT OK to:

-Let emotions get out of control

-Be a punk

-Be a bad teammate

-Dwell on failure

-Ruin team chemistry w/ negativity

In HS I had a horrible outing late in the season & I remember thinking I had blown my chances. I thought my dream was over. The team that drafted me told me that bad game (and how I handled it) was the final thing they needed to see. How. You. Handle. Adversity. Matters.
