🔥 How Procrastination Caused Me To Fail

I graduated high school 135lbs


As a freshman in college I was struggling to press the 35lb dumbbells on the flat bench- that’s literally warmup weight for 8th graders I train now


NOBODY on planet earth was skinnier or weaker than I was


But 2 things happened:


➡️ I stopped doing the one-size-fits-all “team workouts” that weren’t doing anything for me, and instead started exploring what I needed to do


➡️ I changed my eating habits and instead built a diet around who I wanted to BECOME!


A year and a half later I still had a long way to go, but I had gained 50 lbs, and my DB press was now 100’s x6


And with that, my velo jumped and all of a sudden my fastball had hair


The problem was I had waited so long to take action: it was too little, too late


If I had had that transformation in high school, instead of waiting until college and stuck at a small division school, I would’ve had a chance at the sport


Unfortunately, the cost of my procrastination was the ONE SHOT I had at my baseball dream
