Do you believe it when people point this out of in you? It's much easier to believe the negativity than it is to believe the positive reinforcement.

Let's talk Softball and perspective. Keep it fun and keep it simple! One of the things that helps us to fire on all cylinders is to get perspective and see the bigger picture. The game itself has enough pressure as it is but but ultimately it's about staying relaxed and having fun. When you take off the pressure it's a little easier to fire on all cylinders.
