“Hitters talk constantly about “being uncomfortable .” They should not be seduced by the “feeling” of comfort. Behavior is the key, and it is when faced with adversity — situations or “slumps” — that we are all most in touch with what is the greater value to us: being given what we want or working persistently and effectively to get what we want. Baseball won’t develop character, but adversity in the game will surely reveal it. To develop yourself as a hitter and a person, you must face difficulty with intelligence and courage. Many in the game call it “character,” and I’ve heard managers, coaches, and scouts say “character is destiny.”
