Broh Baseball: The Mindset of a Champion – My Approach to Life and Hitting

In baseball, just like in life, success comes down to knowing what you’re looking for and seizing the moment when it arrives. As a hitter, I step into the box with a plan. I’ve studied the pitcher, I know my strengths, I know what I can do best for the situation (home runs are never the option), and I’m looking for my pitch. When I see it, I don’t miss. That’s not just a strategy for crushing fastballs—it’s how I live my life.

To hit your pitch, you’ve got to be ready. Always. Preparation isn’t something you scramble to do when the moment comes; it’s a lifestyle. If you’re always ready, you don’t need to get ready. That means putting in the work—day in, day out—whether it’s in the cage, the gym, or the quiet moments of self-reflection. For me, it’s about sharpening my mind and body so that when opportunity knocks, I’m not just answering the door—I’m kicking it down.

But here’s the real talk: all I need is me. Don’t get me wrong—I’m grateful for every single person in my life. Their support is like gas on my flame, making it burn bigger, brighter, stronger. But I don’t rely on anyone for validation or appreciation. My confidence comes from within, built on the work I put in and the belief I have in what I bring to the table. I know my worth because I’ve earned it.

That doesn’t mean I don’t fail. Oh, I fail—plenty. I’ve swung and missed, struck out, and made boneheaded plays. I’ve faced sickness, setbacks, and moments where I’ve fallen flat on my face. But here’s the difference: I don’t quit. I own my mistakes, learn from them, and move on. I focus solely on what I can control—my effort, my attitude, my preparation—and I build with people who want to build with me. That’s the mindset that’s kept me alive, through the darkest days and the biggest mistakes.

My strength, my fire, comes from within. It’s a constant burning ember that fuels me, pushing me toward success in God’s timing. No one can douse that flame but me. The love, the support, even the hate—it’s all fuel.

Every cheer, every doubter, every challenge adds to the blaze. I am the fire, and I control the temperature.

This is the mindset that makes champions. It’s not just about hitting a baseball—it’s about living with purpose, staying ready, and never letting anyone or anything dim your spark. That’s the shit champions are made of. Let’s keep swinging for the fences, Broh Baseball fam—together, we burn brighter.

Keep grinding, keep shining.
