Many players have overcome the so called “not good enough” syndrome and beat the odds! Here is a great article for any player that thinks or has been told “they’re not good enough.” They have a choice and hopefully this article will inspire them to overcome “not good enough!”

He’s 5′ 7″ tall, was told “he would never play in the Major Leagues” now he makes $4.5 Million as a Major Leaguer! These are his quotes…

“Some baseball people said I’d never play in the Major Leagues. Some even said it to my face. I’ve been the shortest player on the field at 5 feet 7 inches, some Little Leaguers are taller than me. This meant I had to set goals for myself and continually work to improve my skills. As a result, I did become a Major Leaguer and I continue to set new goals and work hard.”

Some said I didn’t have all five tools scouts seek – hitting for average, hitting with power, speed, fielding, and arm strength. I never gave up, and I never lost heart. I knew I had to be the best at every level.

He did not have a college scholarship his first year, he now makes $4.5 million in the Major Leagues and was the 2006 World Series MVP. His name… David Eckstein. [read more] Quotes published in the book “Have Heart” by David Eckstein with Greg Brown <!–more–>

If this doesn’t inspire you I don’t think anything will. If you are thinking “okay but he is one of the few,” you are right. But why is he one of the few? He had not only the heart, determination and commitment to be the best at every level, but he also had guidance and direction to help him become a Major Leaguer.

In my opinion, anything is possible and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You just have to believe in yourself and don’t listen to anyone who tells you “can’t” because you can!. I can’t promise you will become a Major Leaguer because there are other factors which can determine your outcome and If your goal isn’t to become a Major Leaguer, that’s okay to. All I am trying to say is if you want to be the best, give it everything you have, day in and day out, then you can become the best you can be. And one last thing, working hard isn’t good enough, working hard with a purpose and having a plan for what you are trying to accomplish is key to your future success.

There are players at all levels that have proven to beat the odds or accomplish goals they or others thought were unattainable. I may not know you personally but I do know this about every hitter including you, you wants to hit the ball with more power and for higher average.

Am I right? Do you aspire to become a better hitter? If so I can help you like the many other players I have trained from amateurs, professionals, #1 draft picks and National Team members to mention a few. Many players I have trained over the years have proven others wrong. Why? I gave them the direction and tools they needed to take their game to the next level.

Next level Performance can help you become a better hitter if “you” put your mind to it. Are you ready for the challenge?

For those of you who are ready for the challenge, take a look at our test study which has proven 100% of the hitters tested, increased their bat control and solid contact, the highest being 217% in only four weeks. The lowest improvement was a 30% increase. Even if you only improve a fraction of this every four weeks, can you imagine the results you can achieve in a year![read more]
