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.
Lastly, the outcome. Me being alone for the first time in my life away from all family, friends, and where I grew up I had to mature and become independent. I ended up having the highest batting average on the team (.452), gaining 17lbs of muscle in 4 months, (168-185), evolving my game enough to receive an offer to start on the #2 Junior college in california Palomar Junior College. I also have 10x the amount of university coaches that are actively recruiting me from when I started.
Summary: My point was to come on here to inspire you to take that leap of faith. That shot into the dark with your life and embrace the life lessons that come with it. Push yourself past your boundaries because failure is not an option. Your life should only move in a positive direction and when it’s not going as planned you should still be fighting as hard as you can to keep going the right way. Because now at your lowest, you’re still moving forward. In my opinion, you can fail as many times as you need but all it takes is that one successful risk or that one opportunity and your successful for life. Commit a period of your life to be as strict as you can to dieting, working out with intent, and recovering properly. Could be a month could be 6 months. Just be as close to perfect as you can and see where you end up. Now my final question is, it made me successful and all I did was try my best so why not you?
