Being chubby at age 10 still drives me at 45. #motivation #drive #habits

And I'll be Honest, at age 45 today, I still look back at that fat kid I was, and it still impacts me today. I know people tell you you shouldn't. Shouldn't use your childhood as motivation or fears as motivation, but I'll tell you, when you were the chubby kid, you were the fat kid, the kid that got picked on a lot, the kid that avoided attention because it was usually negative attention. It still motivates you today.

It still motivates you today. In fact, I. I've shared this story on a past podcast episode when I was playing pro baseball and we were in Missoula, Montana, pitching against the Missoula Osprey, standing on that mound and having that entire stadium filled with 5,000 people chant, how can you pitch when you're 5 foot 6? When I was on that mound in the moment, I felt like the fat kid all over again. I felt totally out of place. And so whoever tells you that your childhood doesn't impact who you are today, they're full of shit, because it does.
