“The tee drill should be a fixture in your hitting schedule, even after you think you’ve mastered everything there is to master in my system. There are major leaguers who hit off the tee every day before games, and even on their days off. Tony Gwynn works diligently at his fundamentals by hitting hundreds of balls off the tee every day.”

“Be Impeccable with Your Word. This is not the same as radical honesty where you just spew everything out of your mouth that is “honest.” It just means if you say you will do something, do it. If you feel like you have to lie to make excuses, then just don’t say anything at all. Don’t Take Anything Personally. This is valuable advice in this era of Internet trolls and “outrage porn.” Don’t Make Assumptions. If someone is upset at you, for instance, who knows what might be going on in their life that you have no idea about? Also, don’t assume you won’t get a raise, or that someone doesn’t like you. Be curious. Ask questions. Be simple about finding out the truth in a situation before you jump to any assumptions. Always Do Your Best. If you know you aren’t cutting corners and always doing your best, then guaranteed you will do exactly the job you need to do.”
