Re: Apathy or unquenched desire?
[ QUOTE ]
If you succeed only 30% of the time in baseball you better be a damn good shortstop. [/ QUOTE ] Or be short, white, "scrappy" and full of "heart." fwiw I played baseball for 13 years and it took me at least a few of those years to stop getting super angry at myself if i made an out. Maybe I just don't handle failure well.

I always thought I sucked, but the last year I played the coach of our big rival came up to me and said something about how they always "worried" about me - Newsflash to me since I was never happy with myself. I mean golf is the same way if you think about it.

I think team sports are much worse because you're letting the whole team down not just yourself. At some point I realized this was just making me play worse and there was no need for it so I just stopped caring as much. And that's how I became the apathetic [censored] I am today. But I'm still incredibly driven to succeed.
