I know that most of you probably don't watch baseball, but something happened last night in Game 1 of the World Series that is worth talking about. Cliff Lee, the starting pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, had a "best-ever" type performance against the New York Yankees. It was the biggest game of his life, and he pitched one of the best games of his life.
After the game, he made some very insightful comments about his mindset and how he was able to stay relaxed and confident under such intense pressure:
“About being cool or whatever, I’ve always been that way. This is the same game I’ve been playing my whole life and this is the stage I’ve wanted to be on since I was a little kid. Now that I’m here, I’ve already put the work in, so there’s no sense in being nervous and worried. It’s time to go out there and let my talents and my skills take over and execute my pitches".
Here is a video of Cliff Lee from Game 1. Check out how relaxed and confident he looks as he "gets his swag on".
