When I hit a bad shot I always look at the bat like there’s something wrong with it.
The middle is too hard. The edges are too soft. There’s no grip.
It’s easier to do that than admit I need to work on my game.
It’s easier to look for a shortcut, a tip, a life-changing programme.
Something that will get me from here to there without having to go through all the tedious bit in the middle.
But the middle is the bit that’s worth doing.
That’s where the learning, the fun, the value is.
The hard thing is saying no to the easy pill.
And then focusing on the next step.
Getting in shape for the game.
