Confidence

The Helman sponsored Manchester baseball team played Transylvania in part of the Helman sponsored HCAC Conference. Unfortunately, due to many mistakes offensively, defensively, and from the pitching staff we lost both games today. The first game we very easily could have won, we were ahead 5-4 going into the last inning. However, the closer we brought in decided that he didn't want to win the game and gave up 2 runs. So we lost. In the second game we just didn't show up to play and got our asses kicked. We only lost 10-6 but we never had a chance of winning the game. So thats enough talking about the games.
So on to confidence. For those who know me, you know that I have always been a very confident person. Even if I have nothing to be confident about, I usually think I do. However, it seems like lately in baseball I have lost a lot of confidence. I haven't been throwing well and my arm is starting to hurt. It's almost aggravating. But hopefully this whole lack of confidence thing doesn't spill over into my personal life. What would it be like without a cocky/confident me? But anyways I think that is all thats on my mind now. Maybe I will have another blog that is up to the normal standards and not just me complaining.

"I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there the entire time." Anna Freud
"The man who has confidence in himself gains the confidence of others." Some person who I don't remember
