An old lecture from Father Hobbs:
“Baseball is a metaphor for how to practice restraint.You can’t out-hustle the pitcher. You can’t rush the at-bat. You have to wait for the game to come to you. And in that waiting, everything gets quieter.”
Entrepreneurship, marketing, the tech world – they all teach us how to sprint, to go chase the game. But baseball taught me to stop swinging at bad pitches.
Now I use that same mindset to handle distractions, deadlines, and overthinking.
Stay in the box. Watch the ball. Swing when it matters.
