Thou hath heard it said: Thou Shalt not avoid getting in front of a ground ball, thou shalt not run back to the dugout after a k, and thou shalt slow jog it down the line on a pop up.
Here are the 7 Cardinal Sins of Mindset in Baseball:

1. Indifference/Apathy- there is no room for half-hearted intensity in this sport.

2. Stubbornness- uncoachable baseball players become unsuccessful baseball players

3. Pride- if you think you have all the answers you better start asking better questions. Keep a white belt mentality!

4. Self-Doubt- enough said

5. Cautiousness- if you hesitate you lose. You gotta err on the side of gutsy and Pull the Trigger!

6. Perfectionism- the ultimate double edge sword.
​
7. Over-Seriousness- baseball and life is supposed to be enjoyable. Don’t take life too serious, you’ll never get out alive (thanks Dr Seuss). Baseball is important to all of us but at the end of the day it’s just a sport. Enjoy it, Seize the day and Have Fun!
