“Adversity Quotient author Paul Stoltz compares success with a mountain. Only climbers get to the top. The campers, those who get part of the way up and decide to stay where they are, will never feel as alive or as proud as the climbers. As the philosopher said, it takes courage to grow up and to achieve your full potential.”

“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.”

“The difference between those who make things happen for themselves and those who don’t comes down to: 1. the courage to acknowledge that you’re never going to be perfectly “ready” to begin 2. a willingness to muster the courage to start anyway, today 3. an abiding confidence that you will learn necessary skills, obtain required resources and proactively build the path before you as you go. If you’re waiting for a path to emerge magically before you actively start building it, you’re going to be waiting for an awfully long time.”

“No one can outperform his or her self-image. Athletes with inner excellence, like Tiger Woods, believe in themselves and their abilities. They know how to do within when they’re doing without. Part of responsibility psychology is knowing that no one can take away your self-esteem without your permission. Have the courage to growup and fulfill your potential.”

“Competitive sports can bring out the best in people. Instead of playing small, they overcome their self-doubts and fears. They let their light shine. They find courage, which is the opposite of discourage, and tap into their reservoir of potential. Reflect a moment. Can you remember a time when you were a hero, when you showed heart, courage, and fearlessness that maybe you didn’t think you had?”
