When I was 13 years old and about five foot three, I had a coach tell me... “You got a chance, kid.”
“You got a chance” was all I needed.
A few years later, I'm still playing ball.
When my team had weights at 6 a.m. I'd go work on sprints at 5 a.m. and I'd tell myself while running in that parking structure
“You got a chance, kid.”
Every day I'd remind myself of those words.
You've got a chance, kid.
And I’d think to myself,
What if I can pull this off?
What if I can get signed to play professional baseball?
If you want to play in college or pro ball you're going to have to make sacrifices that other people aren't willing to make.
You're going to have to get to bed earlier.
You're going to have to wake up earlier.
It's going to feel like you're running and running with no sight of a finish line.
You will become familiar with failure and you'll have many people who don't take you seriously.
After all, less than 1% make it, right?
Despite the odds, every single day you have to train and work as though you believe 100% that it is going to happen.
You can't go halfway.
You and I both know that won't work.
Now, maybe you're listening to this and thinking
"I don't know if I have what it takes. I'm weak."
And I can assure you, I am weak too.
Listen to these words.
I listened to these words from Jocko Willink every single morning when I couldn't get myself out of bed.
He says,
“Do I have weakness?
I am nothing but weakness.
I'm not naturally fast or strong or flexible.
I procrastinate and I waste time.
I care too much about meaningless things
and not enough about important things.
But all that being said.
I don't accept that I am what I am
and that that is what I am doomed to be.
I'm fighting.
I'm always fighting.
I'm scraping and kicking and clawing at those weaknesses
to change them, to stop them.
Some days I win and some days I don't.
But each and every day I get back up and I move forward with my fists clenched towards the battle, towards the struggle.
And I fight with everything.
I've got to overcome those weaknesses and those shortfalls as I strive to be just a little bit better today than I was yesterday."
You see, it's not about minimizing how many times you fail.
It's about getting up quicker than everybody else.
You missed a day of lifting?
Get up.
You wasted time on your phone when you could have been getting better?
Get up.
Never stop getting up.
Never stop pushing.
You got a chance, kid.
I am going into 13u and I’m literally 5”3 and a half.I listened to this a month before my tryout and the next day I woke up at 4:30am the next day and worked my heart out. Everyday from then on up until the tryout I listened to this to get me out of bed. I ended up making the A team which is the best team you can make. Thanks a lot you helped me achieve the first step of my dream.thanks again.
Damn man I was depressed and felt like nothing and this saved me and brought me away from doubt. Thank you
Hey Rac this changed my life I used to think that I couldn’t make it all my life I was told I wasn’t good enough and I watched this and kept working and I started last year and I love the game and am determined to play college ball thank you Rac
i’m a listen to this every day
Trust in Jesus no matter what god is so so good❤
AMEN!!!🙏
I'm a shortstop for a baseball team were triple a I'm 13 5 ft 3 that into perfectly described me. I had baseball practice I came back feeling depressed cause I missed an easy grounder and I only hit grounders. so I searched up baseball motivation speech and this popped up I watched it and I cant wait for tomorrow when I have practice right before school. I really want to make it to the MLB but I don't know if I have what it takes. thank you for making this video I loved it
im in your same situation right now, also 13 but just cant do grounders yet
Ive listened to this everyday since this came out.
This is more motivational than my T ball coach
He doesn’t need to see us play to know we have what it takes, cause he knows we’re able to have the mindset
I listen to this every day. This helped me so much

Going to sleep at 12:00 AM and waking up at 9:00 AM is getting 9 hours of sleep. Going to sleep at 8:00 PM and waking up at 5:00 AM is getting 9 hours of sleep. But it seems a bit worse to go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier for some reason… why?
This is what I need to hear. Thank you!
Thank you rac

What’s your favorite MLB team
