Short YouTube conversation (Fortitude 365) in which Speaker A asks for advice for aspiring baseball players. Speaker B responds that "feeling good" and being "in the zone" are overrated, advising players to become comfortable with discomfort, learn to compete (e.g., play Wiffle ball and compete with friends), and to perform even when they feel bad.

What's one piece of advice you'd give to aspiring baseball players that want to take their game to the next level?
Feeling good is overrated. Being in the zone overrated. You got to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. And the other thing I would say is get out there and compete. Play Wiffle ball. Compete with your friends. It doesn't have to be a game all the time. It can be you and your buddies playing Wiffle ball and battling your butt off and competing. Learn how to compete and feel bad and get the job done. That's what I'd recommend.
