"Do or do not...There is no try" is one my favorites and hits home the most with me, especially related to baseball. Ball players are told to try all the time, however this leaves a sense of doubt and if. It's understandable that young ball players need to "try out" the sport of baseball, however quickly the game becomes a series of decisions of "doing" or "not doing". The quicker a ball player can trust a development process and lean on what he/she has been practicing or "doing", the quicker he/she will understand the game and get better.
