You want him flying out of the dugout to celebrate a walk-off and pounding his chest when he legs out a triple, whatever the case may be, but finding the line of playing that way and then not...
essentially having a temper tantrum when you strike out in a key spot and understanding that's the game, right?
Like the key to being a successful baseball player is accepting and understanding that you are going to fail more than you succeed and learning how to deal with that.
And at the highest level, he knows he has to do that.
And I think him knowing it is a big, big first step.
Boy, that's a great question, Lawrence.
You know, I'm thinking...
Pete's a little bit unique in that the time that I'm writing about him is so early in his career, and a lot of the people that I wrote about over the years were further along.
You know, I think of Michael Phelps or Lewis Hamilton, who had won a lot already, right?
But I'll tell you, I have another story coming out next month in Chicago Magazine about someone you know well, Kelly Amante-Hiller.
And I kind of explored the years when Northwestern lacrosse didn't win and what was wrong.
And she has an incredible take on the way she had to recalibrate how she coaches.
And essentially, essentially, she had to learn how to lose in order to get back to winning.
And I think there's many parallels there with failure and learning to accept failure.
Now, look, I've said to Kelly, it's a lot easier to say it's okay to lose when you've got eight NCAA titles on your resume, right?
But I do think there are parallels there in the mental approach.
She's incredibly...
well-versed in that, but understanding the mental approach to the game and how you have to deal with that is so critical.
No, I don't think so.
I mean, I don't think that there's a sport where you, where you fail as much as baseball, right?
