"I'm Pleased But I'm not Satisfied"

Remember Picasso's quote, "Good artists borrow; great artists steal." Be open to stealing and sharing the best you can find.  

Tommy LaSorda used to say to us: “You have to BELIEVE that you’re the best baseball player ever, just don’t tell anyone” https://t.co/laEFjcYEqC

When you're on MVB 26 in August, believe it's for reasons: 

• You earned it with your offseason work.
• You earned a role at tryouts.
• You own making your teammates better.
• You impact winning.
• You can be even better by improving every day. 

You can only be as good as you believe you are. When you ace a serve into a seam, that's not luck. It's results.

Lagniappe. First, what is lagniappe? Lagniappe is "something extra" it's the thirteenth item in a baker's dozen or an extra quarter cup of sugar added by the vendor who sells you three pounds of sugar. Or it's a bonus for readers. 

Coach Ellis Lane told us this using different words, "I'm pleased but I'm not satisfied."

A phrase coaches should repeat 1000x:

"Don't mistake good results for permission to abandon the process."
