Identity, Mindset, and Lessons From Softball
In the game of softball, it’s easy to let numbers define you—your batting average, ERA, home runs, or fielding percentage. But what happens when you go 0-for-4? Or give up a grand slam? Or commit an error that costs your team a game? It’s in those moments that athletes must remember a deeper truth: softball is what you do, not who you are.
Your identity is not tied to how many people you strike out or how many runs you score. It’s not in the highlight reel plays or the scoreboard. And it’s certainly not limited to the stats in the box score. You are more than a result.
