Kristen invited me in this chat to be better. To use the positivity and knowledge to my advantage. I did not think that much of it didn’t use the opportunities around me that I should have. This place is a great way to share and gain knowledge from others as well as a place to inspire people. I plan to be more active. I was way too relaxed and lazy in Orange County. I was missing workouts and cheating my meal plan. I came to the conclusion that going to a Texas program would straighten me up and force me to lock in for baseball and life. Very much a shot in the dark but I trust Gods plan for me. I went to a Texas junior college to put my head down to work hard at my sport away from all distractions. Real commitment. It really teaches you a lot. First, the humbling effect. I get there and instantly everything that I was I wasn’t. No one knows or cares who you are and what happened before we got there. I showed up to a place where my whole life restarts. Second, earning respect. I had to earn the respect of my coaches and teammates by proving I was first off good enough at the sport to earn a starting spot and a fun person to be around. I had to prove I wasn’t a jackass and just there to goof off but a man with a plan to play baseball at the university level. That would do whatever it took to get there. I had to push away all negativity and focus on what was important to me. Getting stronger and gaining experience. Thirdly, the Commitment aspect. I trained my ass off for these 4 months pushing my self in the weight room and on the field to just squeeze every single thing I could possibly get out of this fall program. Got on a crazy strict meal plan, trained hard every day, and added natural supplements to increase my energy and keep my soreness down. Every time life caught up to me and I was sore and tired I would never give up because of the one thing I had in the back of my mind the whole time I was there. “My parents didn’t pay all of this money and raise me to be a failure” This sentence pushed me past my limits and created a monster. I was consistent as could be, I did the right recovery, snd pushed my self day in and day out past my limits because of the fact that I simply cannot be a failure.

Had these above my head and my goal was 6 but @Kristen Bold pushed me to get 10. Best coach by helping me reach my full potential. Can’t thank her enough.
