"Have you tried something different?"


My wife and I have a nephew, Dan Uggla, who starts at second base for the Florida Marlins. You might see him play in tonight’s All-Star game. He’s one of the league leaders in home runs. But he hasn’t always hit the ball this well.

Daniel played in the AA Texas League at one time. His average was below .200 and he was really struggling. He knew he had to do something different or else he’d never realize his dream of playing in the big leagues.

He spent lots of time in the batting cage to improve his performance. One day, he started wiggling the bat back and forth across his shoulder before he swung. He hit the ball nicely and decided to try it again. He wiggled the bat once again and hit the ball well.

He decided to try wiggling the bat in a game. He got a base hit and, as they say, the rest is history. Daniel says the movement feels comfortable to him.

Are you doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results? Try something new like Daniel did, something that feels comfortable for you, and get better results as you make a life, not just a living today.
