Mentioned in this video
Pete Soto asks Mookie Betts the question every young athlete wants answered: what's the one piece of advice you'd give a high school or college player trying to make it to the next level? Mookie's answer isn't about mechanics, training, or grinding — it's about the mental game. He breaks down why learning to be your own best friend is the real difference-maker, how to cheer yourself up in the moments after an error or a strikeout, and why you have to stay on your own team instead of letting failure pile on.
A must-watch for any young ballplayer, parent, or coach.
