I blamed my dad for no longer being my coach and thought that change must be what had messed with my swing and my mindset.
I blamed my new coaches for being too hard on me.
And then I began to blame myself.
I was soon consumed with self-doubt, hatred, and betrayal.
I had spent years of my life working on my baseball skills.
My childhood dream was to play in high school and proudly wear a Letterman's jacket, to go on to play in college and maybe even get a shot at the pros.
all while watching my mom and dad in the stands for them to see their advice and our hard work had paid off.
However, life had other plans.
This was my first experience with complete failure.
My dreams of following my baseball heroes like Cal Ripken Jr., who won Rookie of the Year in 1982, or Reggie Jackson, whose effortless swing made him a home run leader, seemed to belong to a different person.
I thought of legends like Wade Boggs, who was able to get on base with each at bat and dominated the league in batting average, and the Ryan Express, Nolan Ryan, whose blazing fastballs might as well have caught fire on their way to the plate.
I saw my dreams of following in their cleats slowly slip away.
I kept asking myself, how did I end up here?
What am I doing wrong?
Uncovering the hidden truth.
Two years passed like this, confined to the dugout.
I kept trying, kept pushing, hoping something would change.
Finally, after one last season on the sidelines, I quit baseball.
The dream was dead, and I felt like a failure.
Then, two weeks after my final season, I ended up at the eye doctor.
