From Zero Offers to Yankees Legend: Own Your Training Like Aaron Judge
How the four daily habits of elite players can transform your game, just like they did for a small-town kid who became a future Hall of Famer
Aaron Judge didn’t hit more than 4 home runs until his junior year in college. Even this was only a homer every 17 ABs. In the Big Leagues, he’s hit about 1 per 11 ABs. Judge kept working.
This is the time to own your training. Information is a click away. Ownership takes thought, planning and sweat. Players who own their training do 4 things methodically. They gather, assess, adjust and respond each day.
“Work harder than anyone else if you want to stand out.” —Aaron Judge
Coach Trosky’s Message
Walking through the Atlanta airport, there was a beautiful video playing of Aaron Judge. It was an advertisement for Ralph Lauren, one of the most prestigious clothing lines of all time.
I remember when Aaron came to my 30 College Showcase Camp in Monterey, California, when he was a junior in high school. At camp, he had no offers. Months late,r he still had no offers.
Aaron continued on his college quest, hoping someone would commit him. He finally committed to a mid-major in his hometown.
Coming from a small town and being unwanted, Aaron Judge turned himself into one of the best players in the game. He will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time.
Just like for Aaron Judge, the majority of your successes will be found in the challenges and struggle of life!
CEOs never give up and live with a better every day attitude. Aaron Judge is a CEO, are you?
